Poker Tip

Pay attention to stack sizes: This tip applies to all both tournament and cash games. You have to know what the stack size of every player at the table is before you make your decision. This is a common mistake made by all players and never ends well.

Often times we will be in a spot where we would like to raise and try to steal the blinds or have a hand that is weaker than normal but worth an open in certain situations. For example if you are the button and the big blind has a stack size that a standard raise will only leave them with little chips, its best to fold all junk hands and not even attempt a steal. Nine times out of ten they will call regardless of what they have or raise you all in and be forced to call a bet you really didn't want to.
