After England’s timid and lacklustre exit from the World Cup, I thought it was worth looking at quite how to play against solid opponents at the table, and why changing style is crucial to maximise your chances of beating players much stronger than you.

History and playing changes

One of the key things that separates good players from mediocre ones is their ability to radically change how they would play a hand in an identical situation - against different players - depending on history.

Good players will do totally different things against different player types - even with the same hand, on the same board, with the same stack size; and understanding why and when to make these changes is crucial to working your way up the stakes.

This is a phrase often heard at the tables and on forums about how the game is evolving. Predominantly used in tournament poker (although still a phrase relevant to cash poker), the concept that under the gun is the new position to steal from is an interesting and important concept to understand in terms of poker evolving, and one which throws a lot of light on how to adjust your game.

The term ‘cooler’ simply refers to a situation where two hands run into each other that are both so powerful that neither can fold. Running kings into aces, getting shown oversets, or getting beaten by higher flushes are all good examples of coolers in hold’em, and thinking about their effect on the game can really help when it comes to dealing with variance and the downswings of poker.
