Dan Harrington's Zone System - Tournament No-Limit Hold'em

From Harrington on Holdem Volume 2: The Endgame.
M is the ratio of a player's chipstack to the total of the blinds and antes.


Vanessa Rousso On Playing Short Stack - PCA PokerStars Caribbean Adventure 2009
The Green Zone : Your M is 20+ (20 or more times the SB + BB + antes)
This is where you want to spend as much of the tournament as possible. All styles of play are open to you. you can be conservative, aggressive, or super-aggressive, and switch back and forth among them as you wish, all moves are available. You can watch a raise and a reraise and come over the top of both players, and still have plenty of chips left for another move later in the hand. In the green zone you're a full- functional poker player, and it's worth taking some risks to stay here.

The Yellow Zone : Your M is 10-19
As you move from the green zone to the yellow zone you lose the ability to play conservative poker. The blinds are starting to catch you, so you have to loosen your play. You can be aggressive or super-aggressive but you have to start making moves with hands weaker than those a conservative player would elect to play. Oddly enough, however, certain hand types (small pairs and suited connectors) become less playable in the yellow zone (due to the lack of implied odds).

The Orange Zone : Your M is 6-9
In the orange zone, you lose the ability to make certain kinds of complex moves that require a reasonable stack size to succeed. Here's an example, a type of sandwich play. A loose middle position player raises 2-3 times the big blind. You know from past experience that he's probably trying a steal. But before you, another player sticks in a reraise. You realize that he probably knows what you know, and knows he doesn't need much of a hand to take the pot from the first bettor. If you have any kind of hand at all and a decent stack, you can come over the top of both players. The first player will probably lay his hand down, and if your raise is substantial and you have more chips to back it up, the second player will probably quit as well. But to execute this maneuver, you need a big stack relative to the pot. If you have to go all-in to make this play, the second bettor may be able to call you just based on pot odds, since he knows you can't do any further betting. In the orange zone, you have to play even more aggressively than in the yellow zone.

The Red Zone : Your M is 1-5
In the red zone you've lost any ability to make a bet other than an all-in bet. If you make a smaller bet, it consumes so much of your stack that you're pot committed anyway. So you might as well go all-in, since it gives you the best chance of winning the pot with your first bet. Of course when your M is lower than 3, your all-in bet will probably not be enough to drive other players out of the pot. The combination of your weak situation plus the attractive odds will usually result in at least one caller.

The Dead Zone : Your M is less than 1 times (SB + BB + antes)
In the dead zone you appear to be alive but your not... you're a poker wraith, just a gnat to be swatted. Your only move left is all-in. And when you make it they'll call just to get rid of you. Never allow yourself to get this low by having your chips blinded away, as you'd have been much better off making a stand earlier with marginal cards. Decent players arrive here only by accident, like after losing an all-in against a slightly smaller stack. It's essential here to be the first into the pot, so you must make a move before the blinds arrive. by moving first, some hands that would call you because of your tiny stack will fold because of the danger of someone coming over the top behind them. The need to move first is so great that your cards really don't matter anymore.


More About M

You should be estimating your M before every hand, and also maintain an idea of the M's of the other players. As you move down through the lower zones - yellow, then orange, then red - your M becomes a key piece of information about your hand, every bit as important as the cards themselves.

Another way of looking at M is to see it as a measure of just how likely you are to get dealt a better hand in a better situation later, and still have a reasonable amount of money left. There are two dangers in being too tight in the middle zones. First: your stack can get blinded away. And Second: You may wait for a good hand and get it at a time when it's no longer useful to you (like with raises and reraises ahead of you).

For example, a tight player drifts through the orange zone, passing chances to make a stand with a somewhat marginal hand. When his M finally gets down to 2, his dream scenario occurs. He picks up AA, someone in front of him moves all-in and he calls... winning and doubling up. Great... but now his M is still just 5! He's still in the red zone, and still needs to double up again very soon. If he'd made a riskier move when his M was somewhat higher, like 7, a double up would have taken him to 14, well into the yellow zone, and bought him valuable time.

Coaching Video from Poker Pro Andrew 'Foucault' Brokos 6MAX

This week's free clip: Andrew "Foucault" Brokos plays 2 tables of $3/6 6MAX NL and discusses continuation betting in a variety of spots.


Andrew "Foucault" Brokos is well known for his knowledge of the game. Andrew's experiences in the $5-$10 to $25-$50 no-limit hold'em cash games provide plenty of fodder for his highly regarded poker writing and coaching. His innovative teaching style, informed by his work in urban public education, blends big picture strategy with detailed hand analysis and color commentary. Andrew has also cashed in the last three WSOP main events, including a 35th-place finish in 2008, earning him $193,000.

Andrew 'Foucault' Brokos - "I like that we are moving past the model of "watch me while I play poker and talk about whatever happens" and focusing on the targeted development of specific skills. Don't get me wrong, I've learned a lot from the traditional "sweat" video, and now that I'll be producing videos more regularly, you'll see some of those from me as well. But I also have a background in teaching and working with teachers, and I know that there are much more effective ways of helping people learn. I'm committed to pushing the envelope when it comes to techniques and methods for teaching poker"

Daniel Negreanu's Small Ball Strategy (Part 1)

Whether you are a Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced player, Negreanu has created training modules that will improve your Hold'em game. Daniel explains exactly what to do, when to do it, and why! And for the first time ever, Negreanu reveals the advanced tournament strategy that the pros have been hiding.

Daniel Negreanu has often been called the unofficial ambassador of poker. His charm mixed with highly instinctive and effective play make him a huge fan-favorite. He is one of the highest-grossing tournament players of all-time, with winnings of more than $9 million.

While nursing dreams of a career in acting or comedy, the 15-year-old learned to play a little poker. By 16, he was spending time in pool halls, hustling, sports betting and - yes - playing cards.



By the time he was 18, Negreanu had dropped out of high school - one credit short of graduation - to focus on poker. He started supplementing his play at illegal games around town with trips to charity casinos.

For a more traditional lifestyle, he tried one day as a telemarketer and a month working at a Subway, but his path clearly led elsewhere.

At 21, Daniel took the money he'd made to try his talents against the world's finest in Las Vegas. He lasted about seven months before returning home, broke but determined. Building up a new bankroll at games around Toronto, he made one last push to Vegas, this time for good. Since then Daniel has been in Vegas making a lucrative living for himself.

One of the most popular and charismatic players in poker, Daniel Negreanu maintains an unequalled track record of excellence in poker tournaments around the world. At the tender age of 23, Daniel won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, which earned him the nickname "Kid Poker." Best known for both his aggressive style of play and his amiable personality, Daniel has captured poker titles around the world and has earned almost $6 million in career prize money.

His passion for poker and his knack for reading the reactions of others have landed him atop the highly competitive world of professional poker. Simply put, Daniel's success is enormous, his talent is unrivaled and his personality is unforgettable.

In 2004, Daniel had arguably the best year in poker history with eleven final table appearances, two World Poker Tour victories and winning his third World Series of Poker bracelet. Daniel capped off the year being named ESPN Player of the Year, Card Player Magazine Player of the Year, and World Poker Tour Player of the Year. His total winnings in 2004 alone amounted to a staggering $4.4 million.

Negreanu exudes the confidence of a new generation of poker players, who were raised on video games, the Internet, and MTV and are committed to poker as a sporting competition. Negreanu is one of the most highly visible young poker stars, appearing regularly on the Fox Sports Network, ESPN, GSN and the Travel Channel. He is also an author in Super System 2, the author of a nationally syndicated newspaper column entitled "Playing Poker with Daniel Negreanu." In addition, Daniel spends a lot of his time blogging for his popular website, www.fullcontactpoker.com, which has a large and loyal group of fans.

Daniel travels the world playing in only the highest buy-in poker events, wearing PokerStars, the online poker site that sponsors him. He continues to prepare for big games by watching all five Rocky movies and eating vegan meals prepared by his mother, who has been cooking for his tournaments since he was 18. He can often be spotted at tables wearing a hockey jersey and headphones, listening to relaxing music to focus his game.

David William's Instructional Video - Playing $3-$6 No Limit

David Anthony Williams (born June 9, 1980 in Arlington, Texas) is a professional poker and Magic: The Gathering player. He was a student at Princeton University and studied Economics at Southern Methodist University and attended the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science, an early entrance college program

Williams was self taught to play no-limit Texas Hold'em tournaments. He was then mentored in poker by Marcel Lüske, with whom they both had a mutual friend in the Netherlands, Noah Boeken.

Williams's poker success was capped at the 2004 World Series of Poker. He won his buy-in through an online poker site and made it to the finals of the main event, ultimately finishing second to Greg Raymer, but still winning $3.5 million for the runner-up prize. His second-place finish is the best ever by an African American in a WSOP Main Event, besting Phil Ivey's 10th place finish a year earlier.

Four months later, he finished second at the Borgata Open World Poker Tour where he collected $573,800. David Williams became a member of Team Bodog after the 2004 World Series of Poker.



In March 2006, Williams made a second WPT final table, finishing 4th for $280,000. Two months later he made another WPT final table, again finishing 4th.

Williams also appeared on the game show King of Vegas, finishing in third place.

Williams now has his own vlog that offers an inside look at his personal and professional life. The webisodes air on the internet TV channel RawVegas.tv

Even though there is more money that can be made in professional poker than in professional Magic, Williams has said he will continue to play both games, although poker will take precedence. Like many who play both, he has asserted that the two are for different purposes: he plays Magic to have fun, and poker to make money.

Williams won his first WSOP bracelet in 2006 in the $1,500 Seven-card stud event when his K♠ 3♥ 4♣ J♦ (6♠ 4♠ J♥) defeated John Hoang's 4♣ 5♠ 9♦ 3♣ (A♦ 8♠ T♠).

His mother Shirley Williams often attends poker events in which he plays, and even competed in the 2006 WSOP main event, outlasting her son in the process. She also played in the $1,000 L.I.P.S. (Ladies only) W.S.O.P. event.[3] and she cashed in 465th place in the 2007 World Series of Poker main event.

As of 2008, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,800,000.

David Williams
This young, charismatic tournament and online-savvy player is a force to be reckoned with. In 2004 alone, David won $3.5 Million for his Runner Up Finish at the WSOP Main Event and $573,000 for his Runner Up Finish at the WPT. Coming from a college background including Princeton and Southern Methodist University, David is an active World Poker Tour Professional, Professional Poker Tour Participant, and Card Player Magazine cover story. Before poker, David, now 25 years old, was an avid "Magic" player, a game that is only played one-on-one. Within the last year, David Williams has truly established himself as an important part of the professional poker tour landscape. With Two Second Place finishes in key tournaments, the Borgata Poker Open and the World Series of Poker "No Limit Hold'em Poker Championship, David proves his tournament mettle. David is one of the World Poker Tour's "Young Guns" and has been featured in Playboy and ALL IN Magazines as the Future of Poker.

More Background
His Magic Days David traveled the world playing "Magic - The Gathering" a card game with the features of chess, bridge & poker. During his travels he made many friends, including Noah Boeken who is also now making his living as a professional poker player like David.

What is David Like?
If you ask people who know David, his friends and family, about him you will get all the pieces of an amazing puzzle that becomes the David Williams people see at the table and on the final table poker tournament coverage on TV. David is smart and mature for his age, he has needed to be as he grew up in a single parent household, so he has always felt the need to be responsible. David is competitive- he wants to win - period. Second place is nice but it is not first to him who is always striving to be the best in all he does. He is wicked smart with an SAT score of 1550 Princeton welcomed David with open arms but he found a better college fit in his home state of Texas at Southern Methodist University. Polite and reliable are the comments of the people who do business with David, he follows through and does what he says he is going to do. David accepts reality, which helps him with the roller coaster ride of a nontraditional career in poker- he doesn't allow the ups & downs to waver him from his goal to win at the table and in the long run.
