Poker Video Spotlight: Jason Koon On Heads-Up Sit-And-GosThe Poker Pro With $30.9 Million In Career Earnings Shares Strategy Advice About The One-On-One Format |
|
Jason Koon has cashed for more than $30.9 million in live poker tournaments over his career. As a result he now sits in ninth place on poker’s all-time money list.
Back in 2012 Card Player TV caught up with Koon back during the World Poker Tour Legends of Poker main event at The Bicycle Hotel & Casino for a video interview. At that point, Koon had yet to rise to the super high roller scene that he is now a staple of and had just $2.7 million in live tournament cashes under his belt.
In the video, Koon discusses some common mistakes novices make when first getting into playing heads-up no-limit hold’em sit-and-gos.
“With beginners, they’re often defending way too much out of position. I would recommend making tight folds out of position and being very aggressive when in position,” offered Koon as a starting point.
“Also, be very selective about what ranges you decide to re-raise your opponent with. I feel that beginners often get themselves in trouble by not having a polarized three-betting range,” continued Koon. “So they’d three-bet a hand like ace-jack, get four-bet, and not know what to do with it. So, make sure that whenever you are re-raising someone,
you know if you are bluffing or if you are doing it for value and are comfortable playing for stacks.”
