Technical:
- do not 5b all in bluff unless: have enough 4b stat, and with Ax, Kx hand
- do not play trash hand (ex. J4o), unless blinds are very tight
- be very careful when considering c-bet oop
- do not put all stake in with any one pair hand
- focus on value betting
- play at most 2 tables for zoom
- be very careful when making all-in bluff without much equity
- when call 3b ip and plan to play back after flop, do this with some equity, at least gutshot
- when facing raise ott or otr, only continue with nuts
