Explaining complex poker strategies briefly is extremely hard and that is why even the most advanced poker books usually focus on only several key concepts and on how to use them properly. But we know that there are plenty of poker players who simply don’t want to waste (obviously if you are looking to become a real poker shark it is most likely not wasted time to read couple good poker books such as the theory of poker) their time by reading poker books and instead would just like to get fast tips. As much as we would like to give you 10 tips that you can learn in 5 minutes and then beat Daniel Negreanu for loads of money that simply isn’t possible. But what we can do is give you 10 short “out of the box” poker strategy ideas that you might not have thought of and that might improve your results considerably if you are able to add them to your game properly.

Top 10 new poker ideas for improving your poker results:

1: When you are running good climb aggressively the levels. Often when you are running good you are also playing your best poker, but even when you are climbing the levels aggressively never play game without at least 10 buy ins.

2: If you are running bad do everything you can to book a winning a session, even if this means playing session as short as 10 hands. Winning sessions tend to do wonders for your confidence.

3: Tilt your opponents by playing extremely slow. OK, so you should do this only against people who you don’t mind pissing off, because this will indeed make most of the people you are playing against extremely angry. On the good side they often end up getting so tilted that they will do some extremely bad plays against you and you should have easy time at taking their moneys.

4: When on river you suspect that your opponent missed his draw, instead of checking bet extremely small amount and hope that he can’t resist the temptation of bluffing.

5: Use minimum raise in mid sized pot on river as a bluff, simply because it looks so much like a premium hand trying to get more value and thus your opponent might dumb his hand despite of the good odds.

6: If you are playing short stacked, it is folded to your on SB and you have a super premium hand only limp in instead of raising. It is quite possible that your opponent will either raise and allow you to re-raise allin or that he will do something stupid after the flop allowing you to get all the chips in as a big favourite.

7: Against bad players who view you as an over-aggressive player, don’t be afraid of making massive all in over bets when you suspect that they have at least some type of made or drawing hand.

8: Go for the double check-raise with premium hands.

9: After raising before the flop check the flop with premium hand, simply because most of the people only do this with mediocre and complete garbage hands.

10: Try only calling a raise before the flop with top starting hand if there are super aggressive players still to act.
