what's the most overrated poker advice everyone keeps repeating?
every video, every coach, every forum repeats the same handful of lines like they're gospel. "play tight aggressive." "position is everything." "just don't tilt." and yeah, fine, none of it is wrong exactly - but at some point it starts to feel like stuff people say because it sounds smart, not because it actually moved their winrate.
for me it's "fold more" - thanks, very helpful, solved poker.
what's the one piece of advice you're sick of hearing that everyone treats like obvious truth? curious if it splits by cash vs tournament players. drop yours.
“Don’t bluff at the lower stakes.” That one shows up in every crypto casino Discord and it gets treated like sacred text, but it misses so much context. Sure, you’ll get caught bluffing plenty against calling stations, but cutting out bluffs entirely turns you into an open book and good regulars will eat you alive. Game flow and reads matter more than the blanket advice lets on. I think folks love the simplicity of “never bluff,” especially newer cash game players, but real EV comes from learning when to ignore the crowd’s noise and actually trust your spot.
