Completed Day 6 and agree that optimal hand selection before the flop is quite important and also depends on position. However, if you also have a read on certain players, you can sometimes play hands that are not within your range or fold hands that you would normally play.

The course is a beginner course, keep that in mind at all chapters of this course, reads is advanced material. For beginners, mastering positional awareness is a crucial concept. The course is mostly here to bring the basics into the minds of poker newbies.
Refreshing the knowledge of this course is even for advanced players like you a must from time to time.

Hello Poker fans,

So nice to do a refresher. I was able to correct a slight misconception in my UTG ranges. I was opening A9o+ and it is A9s+. There was a good reason why I always felt uncomfortable. :D

Although I would often stick to the ranges, I would usually play based on my feel for the opponents. One thing I have to do more is play aggressively versus tight players. It makes sense, since they would more than likely fold if their hands are weak. I do like to lie in wait for the loose players, but it is just ridiculous how lucky they can be!

It is really exciting to do this course again. I am picking up on things that I missed the first time around :D.

Cheers.
