None of the above is factually accurate, but in the rare instance that you do flop a set in No Limit Texas Holdem, the next two cards to come can have a pretty big impact on whether you find yourself holding a clear value hand, or surprisingly something resembling more of a bluffcatcher, depending on the r...

We play our hand the best we can, but what happens when a 3-bet pot becomes a 3-bet problem? The first step toward solving a problem is admitting you have one. While poker pro Jon Chai is still trying to make progress in his daily Flush Draws Anonymous meetings, his problems in 3-bet pots are just as addictive. We've staged another interve...

Tactical Tuesday #151: To Raise Or Not To Raise... That Is The Poker Question (Epic Value Strategy)
So you're playing No Limit Texas Holdem and your "one time" finally happens. For the first time in the last 48 months of grinding, you flop a set. You've already booked an AirBnB during peak season in Valuetown. But then the turn and river come out, shifting those pesky equities and changing the nuts out on us when we were so cozy and warm on the flop. We have a good hand, but when -- and maybe even "should" -- we raise? Are we always getting called by better? Do we blow the villain off of their...
