Pure Math Poker: Winning in Wild Games


Ed Miller wrote an article about a foolproof strategy for beating wild no-limit hold'em poker games. The whole article has all the details but if you want the quick step-by-step lesson, here it is (bullets added):


  • Buy in for 40 to 60 big blinds.
  • Wait for strong starting hands: pocket pairs, big aces, and K-Q.
  • If you have a medium or big pocket pair, or if you have two big cards, raise preflop.
  • With small pocket pairs, or on the button with your somewhat weaker hands, you can just limp.
  • If the pot is raised and you hit the flop well, move all-in...
  • Your goal is to get your money in early with good hands so there are no tough decisions.
Why is this strategy so good? What makes it foolproof?
"You aren’t relying on your hand-reading skills or your creativity to give you an advantage; you’re relying on raw math."
