Calculating pot odds is one of the most helpful tools to becoming a better poker player. All good players in a high limit game know how to calculate pot odds. Though it’s not the only key to success, it is an integral skill to have and of utmost importance in keeping you from making simple mistakes.
It’s nearly impossible to calculate the pot odds during a particularly complicated hand, which is why it’s important for a player to continuously analyze his hand before making the next move. Doing this helps you retain that information for future hands/games. You will soon feel more comfortable making quick decisions and often notice that you will begin to act without much analysis. This is certainly an important topic to pay close attention to.

A turn is the most important stage in taking control of the bank. It is when you must make the important decision as to whether you will increase the size of the bank based on a strong poker hand or call the bet on a weaker hand. If you are hoping to draw a combination, you will want to make seeing the river as inexpensive as possible. Mind that if there are many players in the pot you may increase it having even not complete combination. Though, that is quite difficult for newer players to do.
In most cases, a player on the turn should clearly plan what he will do on the river. That is why, when playing the turn, it is best to think about all the possible plays your opponent could make in various situations from the beginning of the game to the end.
This guide will go over different situations and explain what a suggested play would be.

We will describe the pre-flop game strategy on full-hand tables (10max) here.
Micro limit games (~0.02/0.04) have some peculiarities in comparison to a game with higher limits. You will find the highest ratio of an average bank size to a big blind size here. This means that the highest percent of drawn combinations are paid-out. Contenders play very freely and lose their stacks easily. The best strategy for this game will be a reliable tight play if you are a new player. Of course, that strategy is not very profitable, but a new player would fare better playing this way. You shouldn’t play weak hands which may cause difficulties when you play the post-flop.

The strategy described below can be used only in freerolls. It can’t be applied to usual MTTs (Multi Table Tournaments).
We shall consider the strategy of a freeroll game with the standard structure: the initial stack is 60-100ВВs (Big Blinds) and the level-up (an interval of time in which blinds grow) is 8-12 minutes.
Some rooms have turbo freerolls with level-up of 2-3 minutes. But most freerolls still have a standard structure, which is the reason why we will be discussing them in this article. In reading the article, you will notice that it is not chalk full of specialized poker terms in order to make it easier for a beginner to understand.
