I know I read a related post by Abdul on RGP about this, but let me throw this out there:<\/p>\n

What are the key differences between poker in California, poker in Las Vegas, and poker online?<\/p>\n

All three are characterized by terrible players, but there’s a different quality to the horrible play in each arena. This English major can’t adequately describe what that is, but it’s there.<\/p>\n

So given the premise that the games are different, and that several of the ideas and strategies that we find in Winning Low Limit Hold ‘Em<\/em> and Abdul’s postings at RGP and PosEV<\/a> are primarily based on their experiences in California’s No Fold ‘Em games (4-way showdowns!), what adjustments, if any, are necessary for the transition to the tourist-filled poker rooms of Vegas and the doubly-abstracted, ever-shifting poker rooms of the Internet?<\/p>\n

I’ll be thinking about this over the coming year, but if any of you have any ideas, archived posts, or hidden RGP gems on this topic, I’d be quite grateful for a pointer.<\/p>\n

I leave you with this: Being ahead when you are actually behind<\/a> by Andrew of RPS Consulting. “Always keep 12 big bets at the table when there is a 4 bet cap. You may need them.” Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
