Napalm's 10 commandments of NL HE Ring

Napalm's YTD: $5,063

These were born out of my classic losing session last night. I followed them to a "T" today, and gained back $200.

1 - Thou shalt not call a raise out of position unless holding AA, KK, or AK.

2 - Thou shalt not go broke in an unraised pot.

3 - Thou shalt not play Ax offsuit, or thou shalt surely go broke.

4 - Thou shalt fold everything under the gun, except AA, KK, QQ, JJ or AK, and in that case, raise big.

5 - Thou shalt not play more than 20% of hands delt.

6 - Thou shalt only draw to the NUT flush and the NUT straight IF the pot odds are correct.

7 - Thou shalt only bluff when in position and only when thou knowest thy opponent knows how to fold.

8 - Thou shalt fold pocket pairs lower than 88 into a raise, and if you call, ditch if no trips manifest themselves.

9 - Thou shalt not go on TILT after an inferior player outdraws you.

10 - Raise AA, KK, QQ, and AK suited at a level that is painful for your opponents to call pre flop whenever you get them.

11 - Thou shalt lose all of thine chips to Napalm so that thy days may be long upon the earth.


PS - Lasted to 400 out of 1100 in a $5 multi table tournament today and BLUFFED every pot I won. I never got a legit hand until the end. I had K6 and my opponent had K5. K on the flop, I put him all in, he called and hit a 5 on the river. Overall it was exciting to get that far in the tournament without a real hand.
