Everyone should have seen or heard about the importance of hand selection, but few have stopped to reflect how fundamental this concept is for a player to be profitable, so here I give my opinion of how I see the value The selection of starting hands and how important I think it is.
As everyone should know the selection of starting hands is the act of choosing which two cards we wish to play and which two cards we will fold, this act of choosing some hands to play and some hands to give up is fundamental to make us profitable Or deficit.
What usually defines whether a player will be profitable or deficit is how well a poker player is able to play with selected hands. Now we come to a somewhat controversial point because my last statement comes in a kind of conflict with the previous statements, because if what defines if a player will be profitable or is not the quality with which he throws his hands soon his selection of cards Would not be so important since a good player would have the ability to play well with his bad cards.
Well come on because now is the discussion is good hahaha. Understand that in poker there are 2 ways to win your opponent's chips, one is betting and your opponent is folding and the other is presenting the best hand in the showdown, now tell me which player will have the most pots won in the showdown player Who plays as many hands as possible or that calm and patient guy who plays only the best hands ???
Of course, long-term winners will be more likely to win those players who better select their hands, so it's not that the EV is taken so seriously by professional players. Well I understand that this subject is one of the most complex to be addressed in a post about poker and I also acknowledge that I made a brief and simple approach on the subject in order to make the elucidation of the theme easier for all readers, If you have come so far, be sure to take all the explicit information on this blog seriously as it is from the simplest findings that the greatest learning comes about.
