Counter-intuitive poker strategy

I wanted to test my multi-table skills without much risk today, so I 4-tabled some $2+.25 SNGs at Full Tilt. Here’s what I observed:

1. When you put money in the pot, always defend it pre-flop when you have the least amount of information about your opponents’ hands.

2. QT is the nuts, and can call any raise at any time.

3. If you fold on the river, you’ll never know what your opponent has.

4. Make bets that can’t be called by anyone, because it’s more important to get out of a hand without giving an opponent any information than it is to maximize the number of chips you win.

Trust me on these, this is gold-star low-limit poker strategy to nail the fish. I think comments have been turned off, so head over to be my personal poker blog if you can think of others.
