Want to get better at poker? Tired of losing in your local home game or looking to go pro playing no-limit hold’em?

Who better to learn from then two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner and high stakes cash game regular Doug Polk.

Polk has teemed up with fellow bracelet winner Ryan Fee to offer the Upswing Poker Lab

The Upswing Poker Lab is a poker training course taught by Polk and Fee that is updated regularly with in-depth learning modules, theory videos, and a wealth of information to make you a better poker player.

Upswing Poker has teamed up with Card Player to bring you some exclusive poker strategy content. In this video Polk discusses four betting preflop in no-limit hold’em.

Doug Polk“I think that intuatively most players know that they need to make some four-bet bluffs when they are facing three-bets, but they are not exactly sure how to do that correctly,” said Polk early on in the video.

“The first step when you are trying to figure out your four-bet range is to determine which hands you want to get all-in with preflop for value. That will be really important to your total strategy, because otherwise you don’t know how often you are going to want to be four-betting.”

“In spots where you only want to get in aces and kings you can’t really have that many four-bet bluffs because you only have two value bets, but as you move into mid and late position you start to add in queens and jacks and ace-king, which makes it so you can four-bet bluff more. The more value bets that you have, the more that you are also able to mix in bluffs.”

Check out the full video at the top of the story for more of Polk’s analysis of four betting.
