Hand Review

Many people understand what blockers mean. Still, they are often not used correctly. Or even worse, used to make completely wrong decisions. In this video, we analyze two $200/$400 high stakes hands on GGPoker and find out what you need to look out for when thinking about blockers.

Blockers are more complex than just blocking opponent's strong hands. Consider which folds you unblock when bluffing. In big pots, blocking opponent's bluffs can be more important than blocking their value hands. Always analyze the full range of possible hands, not just obvious blockers.
