I Was Bleeding Chips Until I Learned This One Poker Rule…

[amts]

Thread 🧵👇


1/
When I first started playing cash games, I was addicted to action.
Every hand looked playable.
Every bluff felt genius.


But my stack kept vanishing.
Until one rule flipped everything…


2/
“Tight is Right.”
I hated hearing it.
I wanted to be a shark — aggressive,
unpredictable.
But the truth? I was just reckless.


3/
The moment I stopped playing junk hands from early position…
The moment I stopped calling just because…
I started winning.


4/
Being tight doesn’t mean being weak.
It means choosing your battles — wisely
Raise strong hands. Fold trash. Let others burn their stack.


5/
Poker isn’t about playing more.
It’s about playing better.
Quality over quantity — always.


6/
Since tightening up:
✅ More control over pots
✅ Fewer tough spots
✅ Higher winrate in every session


Simple change. Massive impact.


7/
Want to plug your biggest leak today?


➡️ Cut your VPIP by 20%
➡️ Play more in position
➡️ Value bet with confidence
➡️ Stop chasing every draw
8/
Remember:
You don’t have to be the smartest player.
You just need to be the most disciplined one.

That’s how you win.

Thanks for the great tip! thanks

 

[Emily Trott]

Excellent advice!

 

[wrzlbrnft]

everything is right,
although these are common poker advices, it's often challanging for me to follow them all the time

I started a short time ago, I'm applying it to my game and I feel better, but I'm tired of the bads in the river. I try to control the pot I have good hands but they flop on the river in an absurd way.

Thanks a lot for these valuable and practical tips!
Sometimes we focus too much on complex strategies and forget how powerful discipline and solid fundamentals really are. These reminders — especially about playing in position and value betting with confidence — are exactly what I needed. Appreciate the guidance!

Folding is the most important action.
I still struggle with this. Lets say I flop a set and I bet flop and turn and get called. A third heart comes on the river and villain bets pot.
Now I know he probably rivered his flush, but I still call most of the time.

Live and learn, thank you so much for the tips. They will really help me a lot.

 

[Uncloggie]

That is a pretty good assessment, well done.

Nice comment, looks like attracting aggressive players to see the flop may be connected to a tight play, but you need to be super managing your stack as compared to the game dynamics over longer periods of time.

I implemented this system and since then my winrate increased by 5000% and now I make 3000$ per session on a bad day.

... is I guess what you want me to say
