1. Try to play strong hands quickly and aggressively more often. Slopplay is a common mistake among many players who are always afraid of "scaring off their opponent."
2. In most cases, with strong hands, it's best to bet, bet, and bet in order to blow the pot and protect your equity. But that doesn't mean there's no place for sloping in poker at all.
3. Devote twice as much time to the game as you do to learning, but be sure to learn!
Learning is a must in order to become a professional poker player. But at the same time, poker is a game that requires a lot of practice. Without practice, we won't be able to apply the theory we've learned away from the gaming table, and we'll start to lose our inner sense of the game and its rhythm.
4. If you don't know whether your bet on the river is a bluff or a bluff-well, you shouldn't bet. On the river, you should bet with a polar range. That means to bet with a range that contains only the bluffs and bluffs, and to check everything else.
5. The earlier the hand comes together, the more often you should bluff, because the equity difference here is minimal. Poker expert and theory god Matthew Janda says you should bluff the most on the flop, a little less on the turn, and the least on the river.
