Phil Galfond’s Golden 8 Rules of Poker Strategy 

The first couple of points delve into understanding the type of board in front of the player. Attacking boards that aren’t good for an opponent’s range is great advice, offering a simple way to profit by only understanding what cards each player holds.

Secondly, bluffing too much when draws miss is a recipe for disaster as the average opponent will overcall.

Next up, Galfond explains that understanding your own range is essential to being able to represent the right hands. He then points out that playing against weak players should be easy as they only focus on their own hand.

Against strong players, playing a range is the best way as your opponent will know how many value bets and bluffs you have.

Then he writes about how important it is to spot a player who is scared to lose a big pot.

It is also good to know who is playing higher than usual stakes or running deeper in a tournament than ever before.

Finally, Phil Galfond explains the concept of leverage. Letting your opponent know that you’re threatening their entire stack is powerful and they will be more likely to get out of your way.
