Understanding Cash Games

A Cash Game is a poker game where chips represent real money, and players can come and go as they please. Unlike tournaments, where chips don't represent actual currency and prizes are awarded based on tournament finish.

Cash Game Tips

  1. Medium-Strength Hands: Avoid inflating the pot with medium-strength hands; use them for bluff-catching.

  2. Strong Hands: Bet when you have a strong hand; these hands represent your value betting range.

  3. Bluff with Backdoor Potential: Bluff on the flop with hands that have good backdoor potential.

  4. 3-Bet Premium Hands: 3-bet with premium hands (QQ+, AK) to build the pot.

  5. Multiway Pots: Be selective about betting on the flop in multiway pots, especially with stronger hands.

  6. Bet Heads-Up in Position: Bet frequently when heads-up and in position.

  7. Check-Raise from the Big Blind: Check-raise on the flop with your strongest hands after defending your big blind.

  8. Warm Up Mentally: Warm up before your session, mentally preparing to address your specific leaks.

  9. Manage Losing Sessions: Be smart about handling losing sessions; assess your play and emotional state.

  10. Exploit Limpers: Take advantage of limpers by raising with a wider range of hands.

Bonus Tips from Doug Polk and Ryan Fee

  • Doug's Tip: Play with what you can afford to lose. Choose a buy-in amount you're comfortable with financially.

Whether you play poker for fun or profit, these 10 tips will strengthen your game and help you succeed in cash games. Don't forget the valuable insights from Doug Polk and Ryan Fee. Enjoy your next cash game adventure!
