Everyone knows that in poker, weak means strong and strong means weak.It is one of the central axioms of Mike Caro’s classic book, Caro’s Book of Poker Tells.However, if everyone at your table knows this then you will need to change your strategy to stay a step ahead of thoughtful opponents. One way of doing this is using aggression to trap your opponents. If your opponents are expecting a weak bet from a strong hand, trap them with a strong bet from a strong hand. Make strong mean strong!
I was a newbie to Texas Hold'em about two years ago. I learned to play draw poker a long time ago. I have a friend who brought me to his homegame a few times. I was gently scolded for playing Q5o multiple times. My first night I won well over $100 and was hooked. I gave it all back on subsequent nights though. This homegame was a great blessing for me. It was full of guys who loved poker and would talk about hands afterward. I learned to analyze hands before I really knew how to play the game!
