So here we are at the end of our journey through cash game play. We’ve reached the doors of Valhalla and, hopefully, with piles of cash in tow. I hope the series has been helpful but until now a lot of it has been conceptual, so in this final part I’ll be pulling all the strands together to look at some in-play examples.

In an act of supreme self-sacrifice I agreed to play a session of online poker at PokerPlayer towers to give some real-life examples of the theory I’ve been discussing. The session lasted about four hours – played on only one table – and at the $0.50/$1 level.

Naturally, with over nine years of pokerplaying experience and the entire PokerPlayer readership as an expectant audience… I lost.
