IGNORING HOW POSITION AFFECTS PREFLOPS RAISES  

What is the leak? 

Hands range all the time according to what position a player has at the table . 

Many weaker cash players ignore this and get stacked unnecessarily.    

Why is it a leak? 

When you play against aggresive online players its very common to get all your chips in preflop.

Its always player -dependent to some extent but in late position (such as on the button versus the blinds or vica versa) 

you can jam all in pre flop pretty light and expect it to be + EV. 

My typical value range would be 9 9  A Q A  K . 

This is because there are fewer people to get through and a greater likelihood that people are stealing or three-betting light.

Thus allowing you to capitalise by four-betting or shoving lighter- in return if you jam with JJ in these situations and run into a bigger pair you havent done anything wrong you ve just been unfortunate to run into the top of your opponents range. 

A major error that palyers constantly make is failing to adjust these standard all-in ranges when the seat positions are altered.

        

How to fix it?

Say you hold the same hand- pocket jacks- but this time you are in the cutoff and a player has raised under the gun. 

Three-betting with the intention of getting all-in would now be a major mistake, unless there is a hyper-aggresive dynamic between the two players.

You are showing so much strength (but actually over-representing you hand) that he will likely fold all smaller pairs (or set mine)), while  four betting hands that beat you and A-k betting betting four-bet here puts you in a terrible situation since foldiing you have wasted the value of a strong hand like J J.     

I found this a good read and hope u do aswell from steve  idonkcallu

Hi Mr Donk.

Can you "credit" or acknowledge your source for that Post, please.
 
We can't really C & P stuff without either permission, or if we acknowledge/credit the source, it's sort of "bad form" otherwise.

Thanks.

Donk if you wrote a book and someone copied a chapter to their blog would you be happy that they got the credit for it? Or you wrote a song and someone took your chorus and put it into a song of their own and got it to number one? Of course you wouldn't and that's why copyright laws exist , to protect a persons intellectual property.If a magazine publishes an article then that article belongs to them. That is why you will see an article with a statement somewhere saying copyright of xxxxxxxxx. Some articles might say you may reprint this article if you give credit to the original author.


In brief you need to put a line in your original post  stating what mag it came from and who wrote it.
Such an example could be "Taken from Poker Daily by Billy Boggs"
