I recently witnessed an interesting hand from a $3,000 buy-in final table that demonstrates how you should use a big stack to push around your opponents. It also shows how you should actively avoid playing big pots as the middle stack against the big stack when there are numerous shallow stacks at the final table.

All games get tougher over time, and poker is no different. Back in the old days, all you had to do to win was play decent starting hands, bluff people when they had marginal hands, fold when it was clear they liked their hands, and make good reads.

One afternoon, I was playing on CoinPoker, and made a comment about my opponent's range. "legendary_spree" asked:"What's a range? People play the cards they're dealt. Who started this range talk?" I'm so glad you asked. To get a good perspective on this, I needed somebody old and geeky. Fortunately, we have just the person on staff – Lee Jones. So I threw the question over to Lee. He replied with this... So what is range? Hi Tiffany, thanks for asking.

Imagine you are eight-handed in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event with 100,000 in chips at the 200/400/400 blind level. It folds to you in middle position and you look down at the AdQd. You raise to 1,000 and it folds around to a loose, splashy player on the button who three-bets to 3,400. A tight, aggressive player in the small blind then cold calls and it folds to you. What should you do? The worst thing you could do is four-bet into two opponents who have shown lots of strength.

This forces you to learn 'bottom of the pyramid' skills and principles that will serve you, no matter what version of the game you play. The absolute crushers of poker (think Shaun Deeb, Scott Siever) are able to play and win at whatever game you deal them in. Fixed limit bettingDon’t even start.
