Early stage strategy:
- the big mistake in PKOs early game is to play too tight
- when we are the player who covers our opponents we need less than 50% breakeven equity to get all_in
- when we are the player who is covered we need more than 50% equity
- we should focus on keeping the players we cover in the hand:
- making small enticing raises
- bets that could be bluffed over
- limping/calling
- we should focus more on hands that play well multiway:
- suited aces
- suited and/or connected hands
- small pairs
- the hands that tend to flop the nuts, massive draws, or completely miss
- avoid dominated hands that don't play well multiway like:
- offsuit rag aces
- weak broadway hands
- with these hands, you are much better at narrowing the field by raising it or 3-betting to get heads-up against one player
- pay attention to the players that over adjust for bounties, exp: can call shoves with Q7o , identify who these players are, and shove for value preflop with your big hands when they cover you
