In hold’em, there’s a lot of strategy that’s counterintuitive.  Until recently I’d never thought much about this.  Frankly, I don’t think most other players have either.  But once I became aware of this and the gates opened, a veritable flood of ideas poured in.  Here are some you might want to ponder.

Who should you move all in on?  Well, the simple answer to that question is that you should move all-in on a player who is not willing to risk all of their chips making a call of your all-in bet.  For example,  a player who's short-stacked is looking for any opportunity top move all his chips in as soon as he picks up any type of hand in the hopes of doubling up. So you can't bluff this player out of the pot by going all in after the flop.
