Consider factors like your table image, opponents’ playing styles, and stack sizes before making decisions such as flat calling or squeezing.
Q: How can I maintain emotional control during poker games? A: Emotional control in poker can be improved by practicing mindfulness, taking breaks during intense sessions, and keeping a clear distinction between the rational decision-making process and the emotional outcomes of the game.
Q: When should I play aggressively vs. using caution in poker? A: Balancing aggression and caution depends on the game situation, including the tendencies of your opponents, your position, and the texture of the board.
