Session 11: Making Moves
Now that you’ve got the basics down, the course moves on to a session all about moves. But what constitutes a move, when do you make a move and why are moves even necessary? The answers to those questions are in the first video from site instructors Rep Porter and Rick Fuller.
“We would define a move, as any bet with the primary intention of causing your opponent to fold a significant portion of their range,” said Porter.
The basic idea is that you are using your chips as weapons. Your chips will win you the pot, not the strength of your hand. Of course, if your moves don’t fit into your normal game, they will stick out like a sore thumb and won’t be as effective.
The next four videos bring up specific examples of when to make a move, including those that are low risk, low reward, such as stealing the blinds with nearly half your range from the button or making a continuation bet on a paired board.
Other topics include betting scare cards and drawing hands from out of position, or aggressive preflop moves such as the squeeze play, isolation play or stop and go. The final video before a question and answer session focuses on bluffing and how to find consistency with your betting lines.
Next time, we’ll take a look at session 12, Money Considerations.
