AA video overview.

In this concept video, SplitSuit focuses on creating the definitive guide on how to play pocket aces in no limit Texas Hold'em, with a slight weight on playing AA in FR cash games (although 90% of the strategy will apply to any variant of NLHE).

This video also contains a classroom section on using SPR in poker. This SPR tutorial covers stuff like; what SPR is, the effects of different SPRs, and how you should play with different SPRs. There are also two quick examples of SPR in 3bet and 4bet pots.

Other concepts touched upon in this AA strategy video include:

• Balance
• Mindset
• Reasons for betting
• Getting the most value
