BANKROLL RULES OR GO HOME
Set a hard stop at 50 buy-ins for the stakes you play. Example: If you’re grinding Rp5,000 tables, your bankroll starts at Rp250,000. Drop below 40 buy-ins? Move down. Hit 60 buy-ins? Move up. No exceptions.
Use the 10% rule for session loss limits. Lose 10% of your current bankroll in one sitting? Walk away. No revenge clicks. No “just one more hand.” Close the client. Come back tomorrow.

TABLE SELECTION: FIND THE WEAKNESS
Scan the lobby for tables with at least 3 players who have VPIP (Voluntarily Put Money in Pot) over 40%. These are your targets. Sit to their left so you act after them. Position is power.
Avoid tables where the average stack is less than 80 big blinds. Short stacks push all-in too often, reducing your edge. Look for 100+ BB average depth.
Use the “3-bet test” to spot fish. If a player calls your 3-bet with a weak hand like 7-2 offsuit, tag them. They’re your ATM for the session.

PRE-FLOP: OPENING RANGES THAT PRINT MONEY
At 6-max tables, open these hands from each position:
UTG: 88+, ATs+, KQs, AQo+
HJ: 55+, A9s+, KTs+, QJs, JTs, T9s, 98s, AQo+
CO: 22+, A2s+, K9s+, QTs+, J9s+, T8s+, 97s+, 87s, 76s, 65s, AJo+, KQo
BTN: Any pair, any suited ace, any two broadway, any suited connector 54s+
SB: Mirror the BTN range but tighten up vs. a weak BB caller.
Fold everything else. No hero calls. No “maybe” hands.

3-BETTING: THE MATH BEHIND THE BULLY
3-bet 8% of hands from the BTN vs. a CO open. That’s 77+, ATs+, KQs, AQo+. Size it at 3x their open. If they fold more than 60% of the time, widen to 10%.
Vs. a HJ open, 3-bet 6%: JJ+, AQs+, AKo. Size at 3.5x. If they 4-bet too much, tighten to TT+, AK.
Vs. a UTG open, only 3-bet QQ+, AK. Size at 4x. UTG ranges are strong—respect them.
—
C-BETTING: EXPLOIT THE FOLD
C-bet 70% of flops when you’re the pre-flop aggressor. Bet half-pot on dry boards (e.g., K-7-2 rainbow). Bet 75% pot on wet boards (e.g., J-T-9 two-tone).
Skip the c-bet if the board hits their range harder than yours. Example: You open A-K from CO, BB calls. Flop comes K-7-2. C-bet. Flop comes K-Q-J? Check. They have too many strong hands.
Vs. calling stations (VPIP > 45%), c-bet 100% of flops but size down to 30% pot. They’ll call with anything.
—
FLOATING: STEAL THE POT LATER
Float the flop with any two cards if the board is dry and the opponent c-bets 70%+. Call the flop, then bet 60% pot on the turn if they check.
Example: Villain opens from HJ, you call on BTN with 6-5 suited. Flop comes A-8-3 rainbow. They c-bet. Call. Turn is a 2. They check. Bet. They fold 70%+ of the time.
Only float if you have backdoor equity (e.g., a gutshot or overcards). Don’t float with 7-2 offsuit.
—
TURN AND RIVER PLAY: THE DECISION TREE
Turn play: If you have top pair or better, bet 75% pot. If you have a draw, bet 50% pot. If you have nothing, check-fold unless you’re floating.
River play: If you have a strong hand, bet 60-75% pot. If you’re bluffing, bet 50% pot. If you’re unsure, check-call vs. weak players, check-fold vs. nits.
Use the “rule of 2” for bluffing. If your opponent’s range is 50% bluff-catchers, bet half-pot. They’ll fold 50% of the time. Break even.
—
DEFENDING THE BIG BLIND: STOP THE BLEED
Defend 40% of hands vs. a BTN open. That’s any pair, any suited ace, any two broadway, any suited connector 54s+.
Vs. a SB open, defend 50%. They’re stealing—punish them.
Vs. a CO open, defend 30%. Tighten up vs. early position.
3-bet 10% of your defending range. Example: If you defend 40% vs. BTN, 3-bet 4% (JJ+, AQs+, AKo).
—
EXPLOITING COMMON PLAYER TYPES
Nits (VPIP < 15%): Steal their blinds relentlessly. Open 50%+ from BTN. C-bet 90% of flops. Calling Stations (VPIP > 45%): Value bet thin. Bet top pair on the river. Fold to aggression.
Maniacs (VPIP > 50%, 3-bet > 15%): Trap them. Call down with marginal hands. Let them bluff off.
TAGs (VPIP 15-25%): Respect their opens. 3-bet only premium hands. C-bet less.
