We have detected that you are based in the United States. Unfortunately, due to the vague and uncertain legal and regulatory environment in the United States, PokerSavvy does not allow United States residents to sign up for SavvyPoints or rakeback offers at real money poker rooms. We regret that we need to do this and hope that the US government will soon clarify the law and create a framework that allows US-based poker players to play the game they love safely and openly. We encourage you to contact your Congressperson to express your view that poker is not, and should not, be illegal and we encourage you to support candidates at all levels that share that view.

In the meantime, we welcome you to check out PokerSavvy Plus, our poker training product that is fully accessible to United States residents. Thanks for your understanding.

A-T -- Big blind

This is the same situation the one of the previous page, but reversed. Two limpers, the small blind, and you see the flop. The flop is Ah Js 4h. What factors do you consider?

Cards. You have top pair with a pretty good kicker. Not bad.
Action. There was no pre-flop aggression. You have to think you have the best hand.
Odds. You're ahead here. You want to push the advantage.

Your move: Bet. If someone is on the flush draw,the last thing you want to do is give a free card. Note that in this hand both the person with the pair and the one with a draw are acting correctly by putting money in the pot.

Now take a look at some trickier situations.
