In this free online poker tips lesson we are going to examine a situation you may find yourself in during a heads up game where you and your opponent both think you’re got the best hand and so try to slow play each other. A trap versus trap situation.

To illustrate the lesson we’ll look at the situation by example. In this case a World Series of Poker final table hand.

The Scenario:

BLINDS 100k/200k, ante 30k

PREFLOP:

1) A has Ks-10s, raises to 400k
2) B has As-Ad, calls 200k
3) A’s raise is standard for K-10, which isn’t as weak in short-handed play as in a full table.

Regardless of if you’re a beginning free online poker player or a WSOP top table pro, the all-in is the biggest move in poker.

As a rule of thumb, usually one moves all-in only with hands that can stand a chance against, say, A-K or A-Q (the most common all-in hands).

It is because these are the hands also most prepared to call. Which hands, then, are we ready to put our tournament life on? Pocket pairs come to mind. So does A-K (or A-Q or even K-Q suited or K-J suited if you are running out of chips)

This strategy is one I use to great effect (profit!) in both cash and free texas holdem freerolls with up to 1000 players involved. I will keep it short, since there are too many long and boring free poker strategies that keep coming with the same info in another context.

The first hour

Freerolls are played by everyone, good players bad players, annoying people that just keep going all in and all in again.
