Ex pro Julian Thew gives us his top tips for mastering Pot-limit hold'em

PLAYING STYLE

Both LAG and TAG styles will work, but be aware that employing a loose-aggressive style of play means you will face many more tricky decisions and your stack will get a lot more exposure than that of a TAG player. EARLY STAGES

At the beginning of a deep-stacked event you might be playing with 200 big blinds. This figure tends to get halved at each new level, so it suits me to see more flops in these cheaper levels. Position is king in poker, and whether the game is pot-limit or no- limit you’ll be doing yourself no end of good if you can play the majority of pots from position.
