Default Re: Patience

There's the flip side of the coin too.

Instead of, whether or not I can fold, it's about whether or not I can pick up t150 with ease. The most important thing in the world is picking up blinds and limps with ease past L4.

The number one thing I think about when I'm going to push is, am I going to be called here, is it likely that I'm going to be called? And if so, unless I have a monster hand, I will fold. If you're getting a fold 90+% of the time, there's almost no hand you shouldn't push past L4.

That, plus, how do I maximize my EV, and what does the math tell me to do, is really what I think you should be thinking about.

Note, my normal play is to fold, unless there's a very good reason I should push (good position, short stack, great hand, tight opponents, etc).
