Your Strategy????

The most obvious strategy makes the most money. Deviate from it only if there's a reason to do so, such as being deceptive for future profit or making extra money right now. That's a tough thing to teach, because skillful players often enjoy making unusual plays. The trick is to mentally condition yourself to make these plays only for profit, not for show. If there isn't a clear and compelling reason to play a poker hand in an unusual way, don't.
