Poker Tips for the year 2020 Looking at the clock and calendar, it has probably already struck you that the year 2020 is nigh. Change is in the air. Your poker game is never left far behind. Poker is probably so exciting because it keeps evolving with the times and the tastes of players in different periods over time. The game changes along different planes including the rules of play. Limping openly into a pot was once frowned at but is now an accepted move, especially in bounty play, in tournaments. So here are some of the tips you might want to have handy as you play your poker in 2020. Some of the tips shared here for the future could still work today. 1. 4 Tables, Max This is a significant change from PokerStars. When Zero Percent and Rakeback policy were introduced, including the abolition of scripts for seating, the four-tables-maximum play from a PokerStars player put the icing on the cake. Notice that PartyPoker did not pass unnoticed. Sometime in June, they said they were not going to allow the use of poker HUDs at their tables. They would also disable the feature that allowed you to download hand stories. The poker community cringed at the decisions. However, while perusing the poker trends we realize that some poker sites have been living large, thanks to the adoption of those rules earlier. So, expect more casino houses and poker sites to follow suit. As we mentioned earlier, change is in the air. You might need to adopt new poker strategies to cope with the rule changes. 2. Introduction of New Variants Since poker keeps changing, and 2019 is one of the years that has seen robust tech developments, do not be surprised to see new poker variants. Games such as jackpot tournaments may be on their way out. Just like the gg network surprised players with Rush &Cash, poker sites will definitely surprise you with new games. It is likely that the evolution trend of Short Deck Holdem will continue in 2020. Do not hold too tightly to your old poker favorites. 3. Study More If you truly wish to become a poker legend, you need to put your chin on the grinding stone. Read more about poker. Every new technique you read and new thing adds to your poker knowledge. 4. Choose What To Study Now that we agree that reading will help your poker in 2020, note that you need to choose what to study for the week. Trim down your focus to, for example, 3bets or something similar. This helps you to focus on a strategy at a time 5. Note down the top 12 stats By listing at least the top 12 most profitable stats, you train your eye on how your study is influencing your poker game. The stats will change with time as you study. Here is a list of the top 12 stats i. Total hands played ii. Rate of win- total iii. VPIP iv. Cbet Flop v. RF in vi. Call 3bet vii. Call 2bet viii. Fold to Flop Cbet ix. PFR x. Cbet Turn xi. Fold to Turn Cbet xii. 3bet Preflop Conclusion There are fairly clear indications that the year 2020 is likely to come with a raft of changes in poker across the sites. In fact, the changes likely to take effect in 2020 might be more extreme that most pundits realize. However, a close examination of the changes likely to be embraced by providers reveals that the changes will be for the better. Expecting the changes and preparing holds your key to poker success in 2010.

4 Tables, Max

This is a significant change from PokerStars. When Zero Percent and Rakeback policy were introduced, including the abolition of scripts for seating, the four-tables-maximum play from a PokerStars player put the icing on the cake.

Notice that PartyPoker did not pass unnoticed. Sometime in June, they said they were not going to allow the use of poker HUDs at their tables. They would also disable the feature that allowed you to download hand stories. The poker community cringed at the decisions. However, while perusing the poker trends we realize that some poker sites have been living large, thanks to the adoption of those rules earlier. So, expect more casino houses and poker sites to follow suit. As we mentioned earlier, change is in the air. You might need to adopt new poker strategies to cope with the rule changes.

Introduction of New Variants

Games such as jackpot tournaments may be on their way out. Just like the gg network surprised players with Rush & Cash, poker sites will definitely surprise you with new games. It is likely that the evolution trend of Short Deck Hold’em will continue in 2020. Do not hold too tightly to your old poker favourites.

By listing at least the top 12 most profitable stats, you train your eye on how your study is influencing your poker game. The stats will change with time as you study. Here is a list of the top 12 stats:

  • Total hands played
