Quiz: Crush Weak Opponents Like Fedor
You’re in a deep-run tournament. Your opponents are playing scared. What’s the best strategy?
→ Stick to GTO and play unexploitable poker
A) Look for good spots to steadily build your stack with solid poker – Correct! Fedor applies calculated aggression, choosing great spots to exploit weak play!
B) Play overaggressive and try to intimidate opponents – Incorrect! Over-aggression can be counterproductive. Fedor is precise, not reckless!
C) Tighten up and only play value hands – Incorrect! This misses key opportunities to exploit opponents who fold too much!
Answer A:
Look for good spots to steadily build your stack with solid poker
Scared opponents = easy to bluff & pressure
Fedor doesn’t go wild; he picks his spots carefully
Target the right players at the right time
In contrast, the correct adjustments (like B, C, and D) involve playing more hands, particularly in position, and increasing aggression to exploit weak tendencies—which is exactly what Fedor did against top competition.
