Poker is a card game where players compete for the highest hand. The player with the best hand wins the pot.

There are many different variants of poker, but the rules all share the same basic structure: cards are dealt face down to each player. Then, each player in turn places a bet (known as a “bet” or “raise”) into a central pot, and all bets are gathered into that pot at the end of the betting interval.

Betting sizing:

The first thing you need to understand is how to decide on the right amount of money to bet. This is a complex process that takes into account previous action, stack depth, pot odds and more.

Ranges:

One of the best ways to improve your understanding of ranges is to practice a few hands in a row. This will help you make educated guesses about what other players have.

Bet sizing:

A lot of people forget to focus on deciding how much they should bet, but this is actually very important. It can be easy to make mistakes here, so it’s worth taking the time to get better at this skill.
