1. If you doubt me, rail some $25-$50 or higher no-limit
games on the Internet. Guys who play these games are
the 1%. Watch how they play. Don’t focus on individual
hands. Look at frequencies. When someone 3-bets preflop,
how often does the other player fold versus call or 4-bet?
When someone bets the flop, how often does the other
one fold? How often does the flop bettor give up when
called? When there’s a postflop raise, how often does the
other player fold?
If you watch long enough to get a feel for these basic
frequencies, you’ll see that the players roughly follow my
rules. The guy that bets and gets called usually bets again.
And the guy that gets raised usually calls.
