Internet players have successfully addressed the all-in play from a mathematical perspective. For example, it’s fairly common to see a net player move all-in over the top from the big blind with a hand like K-Q when they have less than twenty big blinds remaining. And for good reason – it works!

You must pre-bake the bottom crust of a custard pie, but this is a tricky step in the pie-making process.

Then, once you remove the weights to blind bake the crust, the bottom puffs.

In cash games, you’re apt to see more players staying in to see the flop. If you have a hand worth playing, your best options are to either limp in or make a slightly larger pre-flop raise to build the pot and narrow the competition. A raise of four times the big blind should do the trick.
