FEDOR HOLZ POKER STRATEGY: “START CRUSHING NOW”

The final section of the Pokercode course addresses several additional topics that you’ll need to understand as a tournament player, especially ICM and preparations away from the table. In this section, Fedor also addresses the live play and analyses a few example hands to wrap things up.

ICM strategy
If you’ve been playing tournaments or are just looking to get started, understanding the ICM poker strategy is a must. Fedor Holz actually provides a very good explanation of the Independent Chip Model (ICM).

He starts with basics, explaining how the value of chips works in tournaments. Then, he moves on to explain how ICM should influence your decisions both before and after the flop.
Finally, he also talks about the faults of ICM as this isn’t the perfect system. The model doesn’t cover everything, so it’s important to use it more as a guideline than the absolute truth.

For example, ICM doesn’t cover future play and skill. So, this is something you need to account for on your own and tailor your decisions accordingly. Sometimes, for example, it can be worth it to take more risks to eliminate a very strong player, etc.

Live Play
As many of you might know, live games can be a completely different beast to online play. Many considerations come into play here that don’t necessarily exist in online tournaments.

As an experienced live player, Fedor Holz talks about things such as exploiting players, spotting and masking tells, and utilizing your image.

That being said, this section is quite small, and if you are someone who is playing live, you will probably want to get more info for this particular section.
Being a top-level poker player takes a lot of hard work and dedication. A lot of it happens away from the tables. In one of the final sections of his Poker Code, Fedor Holz takes time to address these routines and how they can help you grow as a player.

Many of you already have some ideas about this particular area. It’s important to have a positive attitude, prepare for the games ahead of time, and manage your bankroll correctly. Even though it sounds simple in theory, it can be quite hard actually to implement it day after day.

Listening one of the game’s best talk about these things is worth it. It is no secret that Fedor Holz worked with some of the top mindset coaches out there, so he also has this aspect of the game covered very well.

If you want to know what he does to stay motivated, keep his energy levels high, and constantly perform at the highest level, you’ll find out in these videos.
