The 2+2 Forums: Your Free Poker Tutor

If you read my blog on a regular basis, you'll probably notice that quite a few of my posts relate to the 2+2 Poker Forums. The reason is simple. Although I do read elsewhere, I'm convinced the 2+2 Poker Forums contain the highest concentration of poker brainpower on the Internet by far.

Names you may have heard of include regular 2+2 posters such as David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth, Ed Miller, Ray Zee, World Champion Greg "Fossilman" Raymer and others. In addition to household poker names, there are hundreds of posters there that play poker for a living and are willing to answer your questions. Think about that. Almost any serious poker question will be answered there by someone that probably makes a six-figure income playing for a living.

Why not piggyback on the knowledge that they've acquired through thousands of hands over thousands of hours, particularly since they're more than willing to share it with people who want to learn?

Here's an example of a few great posts there that I've been reading through this week:

Don't slowplay your big hands

Putting opponents on a range of hands

Small edges early in a tournament
