For those who want to ace their poker game, simply playing it will not suffice. The game needs to be studied, analyzed, and practised consistently. To truly be considered a pro, players need to work hard on their poker skills without fail. The game itself is always evolving and with it, the competition gets fiercer. There are many poker coaching classes that are now available and taught by industry professionals. However, some of these resources may not be affordable to many players. Thanks to the internet there are so many online tutorials and classes on social platforms.
When playing poker, one will soon realise that gameplay strategies can be used in every aspect of the game. Knowing how to play at every stage of the game is important for the best outcome possible. For this article, we’ll be focusing on how to play the preflop in poker. The game starts the moment a player takes a seat at the table. Starting the game correctly will give the player a huge advantage when playing and building a preflop strategy is one way to do that. Here are some free videos on YouTube that one can use to learn from.
Jonathan Little is a poker coach and one of the best experts the industry has to offer. He has written many books on poker strategies and even has a Masterclass that players can subscribe to. Little also has a YouTube channel where he offers free learning material. The above preflop tutorial by him is specifically for heads-up matches. Players who are keen to get better at heads-up matches should pay attention to Little’s instructions.

For players who need a bit of guidance in this particular area of the game will find this video helpful and easy to understand.
Although this is another video by Jonathan Little on preflop, it is an important one as it focuses on the fundamentals of the preflop strategy. So, before players can start learning all the different kinds of preflop strategies, the first thing is to get the basics right. However, the video is only a teaser to his entire course which is free on his website.
