Summary

Tight-aggressive play is a successful strategy in hold'em. A student gets guidance on when to start playing hands, how to play them and what to consider when facing other players' bets.

Tight-aggressive style definition

Tight means playing fewer hands but choosing only the best ones. Aggressive means betting, raising or check-raising when playing a hand.

Comparing live play and the World Poker Tour

Live games differ from World Poker Tour games in blind sizes, stack sizes and the number of players. Loose-aggressive play can be successful on TV, but not in most live games.

Choosing between calling and re-raising

Start by considering who has bet and how much. It can help to think about your hand's chances of improving or winning right away.

Recommendations for betting

When you have the best hand, raise: that way you extract the most money. Calling can be better in a multiway pot if you have a strong hand.
