That quote is from a book called Mind Gym that HokieGreg was raving about on Twitter yesterday. A lot of players (myself…

Heads up poker has a quite a bit more variance than 6max or fullring. In other words, when you run hot, you’re really making bank, but you also get brutal downswings. Take a look at my lifetime graph.

There was an great post on variance on 2+2 about a week ago that included a link to an Excel spreadsheet. As you probably know, the upswings and downstreaks are a lot more extreme in heads up than 6-max and fullring. In fact, heads up is…

This week is Theorem Week! I’ll be talking about Zeebo Theorem, Baluga Theorem, Clarkmeister Theorem, The Yeti Theorem, Aejones Theorem, and Ansky Theorem.

So let’s kick things off with Zeebo’s Theorem. Simply put, Zeebo’s Theorem states that no one ever folds a full house. It…

Emotional control is what makes good poker players great. Here’s an amazing 2+2 post about tilt by mental game coach Jared Tendler. And just in case you missed it, here’s my writeup from a while back about controlling…

This is the 2nd post of Theorem Week. If you haven’t done so already, check out Zeebo Theorem. In this post, we’re going to dive right into the Baluga Theorem.

Simply put, the Baluga Theorem states that you should think twice about whether your one pair hand is good when…

Head over to the Tools section and check out the Variance Simulator (requires Excel). Just enter your winrate and standard deviation and keep pressing F9. It will…

This is the 3rd post of Theorem Week. If you haven’t done so already, check out Zeebo Theorem and Baluga Theory. In this post, we’re going to dive right into the Clarkmeister Theorem.

Simply put, the Clarkmeister Theorem states that if you are heads up against an…
