Sky Matsuhashi from Smart Poker Study teaches his "bread and butter poker" concept - being the pre-flop raiser in position against 1-2 opponents. He shows how this strategy yields a massive 355 BB/100 win rate compared to his overall 2.45 BB/100. Through examples and stats, Sky proves why this approach is more profitable than calling or playing out of position.
The "bread and butter" strategy focuses on three key elements: being the pre-flop raiser, playing in position, and limiting opponents to 1-2 players. This approach significantly boosts win rates by creating easier post-flop situations.
CRUSHING IT WITH BREAD AND BUTTER:
- Use sizeable raises (3BB+ for opens, 5BB+ for ISO raises, 9BB+ for 3-bets) to limit callers
- Target players who fold frequently to c-bets
- Avoid giving opponents bread and butter spots
- Table select for fishy players and keep LAGs on your right
- Limit limping and blind defense as these create anti-bread and butter spots
- Track your bread and butter frequency with a tick sheet
