Allen Cunningham might be the biggest poker genius ever to wander the earth. How anyone can say he isn’t the best has me baffled.

It’s pretty awesome to see Patrik Antonius and Tom Dwan go at it on Full Tilt Poker. These two have NO idea what real money is — but that’s fun for railbirds I supposed…

Another important thing to consider is having the right position in the table.

Playing Early Position

If you are in a big or small blind position you have the opportunity to put some pressure on the raiser. You can call a small raise in case you have on hand suited cards, small pockets, or connectors. This will give the other poker players the impression that you got something on the flop. In case someone goes over the top, then decide if you have to fold what you have.

There might also be situations where your opponents will have monsters at hand when ace or face cards come out of the flop. The best play can be check and fold.

Game to Play in the Late Position

When you have a late position you can call raises to pairs of cards above 9s; A paired with a 10, J, Q, K; or a K with a J or Q. Watch out for flops like 4,5, J or a 6,7, Q if you have a KJ or KQ since most preflop raisers might be playing AJ or AQ. If the preflop raiser checks, then you can make a move and bet on the flop.

You and your opponent can also end up missing your hands. When you have a rainbow on the board and the opponent checks, then bet your way to his mind. Playing over the top is also another option. This strategy might not work for small stacks which may decide to go all in.
