Arena: The Rookies

Step 1 / 3

◇ Just read — no action needed

Soft table, open wallet

Rookies call too wide and never bluff — the perfect customers. The adjustment is pure value: bet your made hands big on every street, thin all the way down to second pair, and never pay them the respect of a bluff. Your only enemy is your own impatience — rookies do not punish waiting, they reward it: every hand you fold is a hand they pay someone else for. Bet the whole value range, every street.

Play

Two calling stations at a soft table. Value-bet everything that moves — and never bluff a customer who cannot fold.
