Open Your Hands
Nov 3rd, 2009
by WorTeX
| Last month there was a request on the forums for a column about opening your hand. It’s taken me a few weeks to decide exactly what to write because this subject is completely debatable even between seasoned pros. Even after tournament hands, veterans will discuss over a few beers which tiles they should have called and perhaps which ones they shouldn’t have.

I spent an engaging weekend at the Asian Pacific Poker Tour in Seoul last weekend and had the good fortune of observing the final table sitting next to poker Pro David Saab. Fortunate not only because he is a wealth of information on poker and tournament play but also because he shares it so freely with whomever happens to be sitting next to him.
