With an increasing proportion of poker players devoting time to serious study, finding edges in all but the softest games is becoming increasingly challenging. In the Red Chip Poker PRO course Mix It Up, coach w34z3l breaks the theory deadlock by taking us down less-trodden paths. Specifically, unusual betting lines and sizings can place your opponents in realms of confusion where they are likely to make mistakes. And as w34z3l explains in the following overview of the course, mixing up your play is not only profitable, it can also be a great deal of fun.

As you can see from the lesson listing given below, the topics in this course include lines that you may rarely, if ever, use. The course starts with three lessons on donk betting, the very name of which suggests it is a play employed by weak players. In practice, both solvers and population-based exploitative lines use donk bets at a low frequently. Knowing when to do so profitably adds another weapon to your poker arsenal.

The other unusual plays are similarly motivated by low-frequency solver solutions, with their efficacy confirmed by mass data analysis. Unusual bet sizings can be particularly effective against well-studied players. Such players will often play well against conventional sizings, but struggle against unexpected overbets and underbets.

Here is listing of the individual lessons in Mix It Up:
