BASIC POKER STRATEGY
The ultimate question in every poker strategy is : "Is it worth it to continue in this hand?"
If you think that the money in the pot are good enough and your card combination is above average, do it.
Never forget that in any poker game there is the bluffing factor - maybe the other guy has absolutelly nothing and is just
raising to make you fold. And you can always use bluffing on your advantage too (maybe just 1-2 times in the whole game)
You need to have good discipline to be a good Poker player.
Most players play too many hands. You will win more by folding more often.
Especially in tables with many players.
