Podcast Mission (4:30)

My mission for today is to give you my list of the MED’s of Poker and to explain the rationale behind the items on the list and the order that they’re in. This way you can get started sooner rather than later studying all 10 items. The 1st should be studied before the 2nd, the 2nd before the 3rd, and so on. I will also give you a great resource to help you begin your studies into the first MED.

Answer this question for yourself and jot down your answers: What do you think the top 10 MED’s of poker are?

Introduction to the MED's of Poker (5:30)

Here’s the list of Poker’s Top 10 MED’s:

1. Opening Theory and Ranges

3. 3bet Theory
4. Blind Play

Podcast Challenge (16:30)

Here’s my challenge to you for this episode:  Remember that list of 10 MED’s I asked you to write at the beginning of the podcast during the mission?  Well, let me know how and why your list differed from mine.  I’d love to get your input into my list of Poker’s MED’s and how you would rather it be organized.  Who knows, your input might open my eyes to something new I haven’t thought of.  Kaizen in action, always working to improve and open to suggestions!  Ganbatte!
