General guides:
- Heads up, plan to go to showdown with any pair.
- Multi-handed, play much more fit-or-fold.
- Out of position, if you're going to play, check-raise liberally (hard to read).
Garbage hands, such as a lone overcard
- Check-fold!
- Against multiple opponents, expect to fold ace-high as well.
Draw concepts
- Pound great draws, maybe good draws.
- Large fields, drawing to nuts, makes more sense to slow play.
- Usually, get money in early. Value of draws plummets if turn misses.
- Free cards good! Even 3bet or cap for them.
Weak draws (4-5 outs)
- Call only with pot odds, and then not always.
- Hurt by better draws and kickers.
- Get in cheap; fold if a raise behind you looms.
- Useful as semi-bluffs against single villain, especially on uncoordinated board.
Great draws (12+ outs)
- Open-ender plus overcards is a great draw.
- So many ways to win — don't hang back for better odds.
- Raising helps over cards hold up
- Pound vs. any number opponents.
Good draws (8,9 outs)
- Require hitting the draw to win
- Getting proper odds may require calling, not raising
Weak hands
- These hands are likely behind, or soon to be.
- Multiway, habitually fold bottom pairs, ace high, especially in small pots.
- Against one opponent, especially aggro, expect to call down.
Medium holdings
Hands like 2nd pair, good kicker, or pocket pair vs. an over card.
- Strength highly dependent on number of opponents.
- Fold multiway to two bets.
- Call one bet multiway if odds are there
- Possibly fold with rounders still to act.
- HU, showdown bound.
- Regularly bet into one or two opponents.
Strong hands
- Don't slowplay much.
- Slowplaying more acceptable in small pots, with few outs to beat you, or if calls are unlikely.
- Straights are quite vulnerable — narrowing field to heads up is fine.
Bluffing flop, first to act
- Unraised pots are best.
- Prefer uncoordinated flops with just one high card.
- Fold to raise.
- Continuation bet the call-flop, fold-turn folks.
Practice hands
Many good sample hands. One of particular interest because they advise more aggression than is my habit:
On button you raise preflop with:
 
Flop:
  
SB checks, BB bets out.
Authors' advice: reraise.
My standard line would be to call, figuring that he's probably got at least a pair and I won't win without flushing. A raise also hurts odds, by charging me more and driving out the SB.
The authors suggest that he is betting less than top pair (otherwise he'd check-raise), and a reraise makes it more likely to win by hitting a J or even a 9 (by thinning field and taking initiative). Taking a free card also becomes possible.
Another interesting hand on page 134. Against two opponents, with a 12-out draw to the nuts, the authors recommend capping a reraise.
