loldem Low Limit System,




















. ntroduction
1
his manual is an exclusie oer rom Systematic Poker. Poker is a game o luck, skill and
aboe all DISCIPLINL and knowledge. 1he project o producing a winning and simple
holdem system is no easy task. 1he amount o time and money spent perecting this system
is ast and the knowledge it represents is proided at an extremely low price. Marketed
through LBA\ this manual is a guide or the "aspiring to be proitable" poker player.
Allow me to introduce you to the low o this manual. Initially some basic poker wisdom is
shared, next a general introduction to the \ASP system is reealed, then starting hands to
see the lop with, how to play the lop, playing the turn and then inally playing the rier. I
you are entirely new to 1exas loldem, get a basic understanding o the game and betting
sequences beore tackling this system. I would recommend reading the entire manual beore
starting to play. \ou must make sure you understand the starting hand requirements as well
as how to play the lop, the turn and the rier. lurthermore, initially you should play one
table at a time, until you are comortable with the strange situations that can occur and how
the system instructs you to deal with them. As you get more comortable, start adding
tables. I you hae neer played 3-4 tables at once, things happen ast. \ou must use the
check,old buttons, raise any, etc. As hands are dealt, i you see they don`t meet the betting
requirements, simply check the old box and look at the next hand being dealt at the next
table. As soon as you are in a hand, you`ll hae some time to look at the table and see what`s
going on.
I there are things in the manual that are unclear, simply email me and I will respond as soon
as possible. Also, the results o this system are great, howeer, why limit ourseles to these
great gains only. I you hae ideas on better ways to handle dierent situations, email me
and we can discuss your ideas. I do not wish to come o as some arrogant know it all`
concerning poker. I hae played or quite some time now and am ery studied in poker,
howeer part o being a winning poker player is knowing when your wrong or when there is
a better way o doing something and then adjusting. 1o think that this system is at its most
maximized potential would be oolish, 1lLR IS AL\A\S ROOM 1O IMPROVL ,in all
things,. So, with your questions, theories or problems, simply email me and I`ll get back with
you as soon as possible.

Again, good luck in these things, and may you reap success in all you do .



Don't play when...
Poker is a un game, it can also be proitable ,only about 10 o all players actually are
howeer,. 1here are also some negaties about poker. lor one, it can cause harm to a
amily and be the source o many arguments i not properly kept in check. I poker is a
problem or you please do not play. Simply orget that poker exists and moe on with
playing ideo games or hanging out with your amily. I you need help with this, please
email me and I will attempt to help whereer I can. Other don`ts:
Don`t play with money you can`t loose
Don`t play because you are losing
Always recognize the weakness o your hand.
Always be looking or a reason to old.
lamily AL\A\S has priority.

What is the system? What is the system? What is the system? What is the system?
1he system inoles numerous concepts that must be understood in order or it to be
eectie. 1he \ASP system is designed to be simple to ollow, algorithmic in nature- that
is, a robot could play it, and to be proitable. 1he system can look complex at irst
examination howeer ater understanding the low and the why's o the system, playing it
should come natural.
1he ollowing steps are taken when implementing this system.
1. Game selection. - Lowlimit holdem , >1,2 tables
2. 1able selection - 3-4 tables, with speciic guidelines on each table.
3. Starting hand requirements - when to bet, raise, reraise and old.
4. Playing the lop - lots o olding here -aggressie play whith good hand.
5. Playing the turn - less olding but look or a reason to- more aggression
6. Playing the rier - bagging the proits- bet in most cases.
. Ater the win,loss - taking notes and keeping in touch



My results...
1he results seen on www.systematicpoker.com were played between the hours o six,GM1,
and nine in the morning. It is best to play at a time where you can do 1-3 hour sessions.
One could play at anytime as long as they keep to the system, especially table selection. 1he
results seen represent the system being used as explained in this manual.

General thoughts...
1he \ASP system was designed based on the premise that one can win at low limit holdem
using a purely algorithmic approach at playing poker. 1his is alid or low limit holdem
,>1,2, and untested at higher limits - there will be tests done and a system proided i it is
proitable howeer. Speculation on reasons why this system works is as ollows:
\e know that money is made at poker when other players make mistakes, that is, they
bet,call when they do not hae correct odds or when they know sense they are beat.
At lower limits, there are more players, simply playing or un - we play or proit only. Our
un comes rom tackling the complex game and proiding a system that wins long term.
1hese players playing or un tend to make mistakes, the biggest being, they don't know how
to old when they are clearly beat. Chasing a gut shot str8 to the rier might be exciting but
its also a good way to loose money long term.
1he key to making money in poker is knowing the impact o subtle decisions long term - in
particular, what it means to call a bet that you shouldn't and it's long term eect on your
bankroll. lor example, the small blind in >1,2 tables is .50 cents. It is tempting to call AN\
hand since the call is so cheap. 2o appears to be playable since you might lop a 2 pair.
More than likely you will not howeer. 1hese little .50 cent bets add up. I you play 1000
hands ,about 2-days with this system 2-3 hrs,day,, you will be posting Small Blind around
100 times. 1hats >50 spent only on calling the small blind bet. Some o these you might hit
the high pair or 2 pr howeer een i you do, someone else might hae a higher pair, lush,
str8 or some other hand that has you beat. Likewise, you might call a raise, een though your
gut tells you your beat. 1 ->2 raise might not be much but do this 1 o the time when
you're beat, and you are throwing away >20 in this example. \hen you are trying to hit
>20,hr or more, these mistakes directly impact your proit long term. 1he system will
instruct you when to old, and when to raise, call SB etc. Some o it might seem counter
intuitie, that`s ok. Long term it will produce a proit.






. Type of Game
1he system has been tested at >1,2 Limit loldem. It is possible that it will work at higher
limits or NL,PL , howeer it is my opinion that it will need some modiications. 1esting
will be done on this in the uture and updates sent out as inormation is gleaned. I am also
always interested in experiments players o the \ASP system do as well so any inormation
can be sent to my email account.
\hy >1,2 1he answer is simple. As the results displayed suggest, there are many
incompetent players at this leel. Using this system, you make money when others make
mistakes. At higher limits, less mistakes occur. 1here are plenty o mistakes made at the
lower limits. 1hese small mistakes add up as you will see in later sections. People calling
your raise when you are strongly aored to win add up. Also, getting ree cards is more
eectie. lurthermore, people tend to blu more oten. Since you are playing your cards -
not the person - this is to your adantage - BIG 1IML. \ou don't play junk, thereore any
blu against you is a bad moe on the bluer and we make them pay. Nothing is better
than when you are in the sb, no one has bet yet, you are looking at QQ and the big blind
raises you with some junk hand ,unless o course the lop hits an A or K and they actually
lop the high pair,.
Also, gien the semi-predictable play you are doing ,ater all it is a system,, you can rest
assure that at these limits, most people are NO1 paying attention to your plays. One or two
might, but in the end, most will not. 1he predictability in your play to those who pay
attention will still be hard to grasp. \ou will raise quite oten so they will not know i you
hae AA, KK, or JJ. Inormational raises also help make it harder or you to be read as
you'll see in the later sections. Many players will say that you should modiy your play and
play crap eery once in a while. 1he system says to simply change tables i you eel too
many people hae you tagged as tight or are making you old winning hands. At these limits,
there are plenty o people coming and going. I you are concerned about this, simply change
tables ,wait till right beore you hae to post a blind howeer,.
1he low limit system will grind out proits. Some days you will lose a little, other days you
will gain. 1he gains should be more oten and larger than your losses. My results thus ar
land in the range o >16->32 , hr. ,playing around 1-3 hrs, day,. My biggest draw down has
been intra-day around >120.00 playing 4 tables at once, ater another hour o play, I was
back to break een on the day. It can happen but shouldn`t too oten. 1he results seen on
the website www.systematicpoker.com are real and represent true results.
Summary:
Play >1,2 Limit loldem at either Party or Lmpire - you can play other sites as well,
howeer party,empire hae the most >1,2 tables around. It is important to hae
lots o tables to choose rom ,see next section,.




. Table 8election
1his is the irst major decision that must be made. 1he system results as seen on the blogger
are results taken rom playing >1,2 Limit 1exas loldem on Party poker with three to our
tables open at any gien time. Most o the time our tables are played at once and this is
what the system calls or. I you are bonus whoring, you can play 3 tables at party and 1
table at your bonus whore site. Bonus whoring is playing at another site with part o your
bankroll in order to get the bonus. Doing this in the background can help add to your proits
rom this system. 1he results I post howeer, DO NO1 RLPRLSLN1 any bonuses gien.
1he system does not rely on bonuses in any way.
Number o tables In general, the system works best i more than one table is being played
mainly because this gies the systematic poker player a tremendous psychological edge in
that they are less likely to get bored. Boredom results in mistakes and the smallest mistake
can hae a big impact on your proits. One could play a single table, howeer they are
running the risk o playing a hand that the system says to old, simply because they are bored
and its been oreer since I was dealt KK - I will not old it - een i the system says old!`
\hile trying to understand the system, it is to play ewer tables, howeer once you are
comortable, the system adises you to play 3-4 tables.
So, one should buy in to as many tables as their bankroll supports. I you only hae >50.00,
I would suggest either waiting to get more, or play 2 tables with >25.00 buy ins. \ou could
also do 3 with >15.00 buy-ins. 1he ideal is to hae >200.00 starting capital so that you can
max out with 4 X 50.00 buy-ins on Party,Lmpire >1,2 Limit tables..
So, once you hae determined the number o tables you can play, now you select the tables
to play on. 1he system requires that you play at tables with aerage pots o between >12 and
>16. \ou want a table where not a lot o people are raising ,except you -more on this later,
and 1-2 people make the mistake o drawing against you with horrible pot odds. \ou should
also make sure it is 10 person table, with 9 people playing there already ,you make it the
10
th
,. Its ok i or a little while someone leaes, but i suddenly you look up and 3 people are
gone or sitting out, simply ind a new table.
1he games with >18 or >20 should be aoided at all cost. Likewise, less than >10 are bad as
well. 1he >18 games are ery diicult to read opponents ,lots o maniacs, and the >10 are
too tight ,no one will chase a draw against your AA,.
As you play, i you notice that too many people old or raise, go to the lobby and check out
the latest aerage or your table. I it has gone up, or down - out o the limits speciied or
the \ASP system, you should keep playing until you are supposed to post the blind. 1hen
kindly leae and go to the next table. 1he other adantage to doing this is that just in case
you think people hae you tagged as tight aggressie and too many are olding beore the
lop when you hae a premium pair, the new table will hae no clue your style.



Summary:
Play 3-4 tables at once i bankroll supports this
Make sure the tables hae 10 players.
Play tables with >12->16 ag pot. -Should be around 4-6 players seeing the lop per
hand. I there are more than 6, this is ok. But in general, around 4 to 6 is ideal.
Play at a time when it is conenient -shoot or a 2 hour stretch i possible.
























V. 8tarting Hands
1his is the meat o the system. Many articles hae been written on this subject and you will
see many dierent ideas on it. I can assure you that these starting hand requirements are the
result o much research including poker tracker logs and articles,books speciic to low limit
holdem.
lor new players, you must understand the importance o position. \ou must also be
comortable with raising and re-raising ,something most newbies dont like doing - cause
they got beat once by doing it. 1his is why the >200 bankroll is nice to start with because
you will eel much better raising i you know you won`t bust out i you miss. laing said
that, the \ASP system is considered tight,aggressie meaning you play ONL\ good hands,
lOLD all else. I you think you`re beat you old. I you hae a good starting hand, you will
raise most o the time. \ith a good drawing hand, you`ll be calling a bet.
In general you are in 1 o 4 positions. Larly - one o the irst 3 players to act,Position 1-3
to the let o the blinds,, mid between ,4-6 to the let o the blinds,, late on the button ,-8, ,
small blind or big blind. Keep in mind that there are numerous scenarios that can happen in
these games. Depending on the scenario, you will play hands in dierent ways. On irst
glance, it probably looks more complicated than it is. I you hae questions on any o this
simply email me.
Print o the next three pages and make notes on them i you must. \ou will be reerencing
these sheets constantly until you hae the requirements memorized. 1he requirements are
designed or LO\ limit holdem. 1his means that lots o people are seeing the lop.
In general, i the system is ollowed concerning starting hands and then played whateer
came natural - bet,raise i you hae a hand, old i you sense you are beat, you should be
proitable. 1he starting hands is the base o the system. Understand these requirements.
1he system alues suited cards airly high. I aced with a raise, you will call many times only
i your two high cards are suited. Lach hand is careully calculated judgment call and I
strongly recommend ollowing the rules proided. 1hey are geared or low limit holdem and
hae been rocking as the results demonstrate.

1his section is one of the most important of the system. Make sure that these rules
are followed carefully. Many new players don't fully understand the importance of
position. In general, the reason why the requirements get easier, the further you are
from being first to act, is that the chances of someone raising behind you are
smaller(which can destroy your odds). 1his also suggests that you are in a pot that
you are not favored to win. 1his is a huge part of the system and care should be
taken to understand these hands.
* If the system instructs you to call a bet, and someone acting after you has raised,
you should call the raise. If you place money in the pot voluntarily, you are
committed to seeing the flop.
*While this might appear confusing at first, note how the system values suited cards
when faced with a raising situation (should you call or fold). Many times, we only
call raises if we have high suited cards, the offsuited same cards we fold.
*If you don't see the hand in question listed above, the correct action is to IOLD.
Ior example, from early position we DO NO1 PLAY AJo , but we do play it if it is
suited. Ignoring these rules will make you a lose a lot of money long term. Lach bet
is crucial.
*If you ignore the rest of this system and only obey the above reqs, you should still
win long term as long as you play what comes natural post flop IOLD if you think
you're beat, bet/raise if you have top pair(or better with a good kicker) or an
incredible draw.


V. Playing the Flop
1he lop is where your AKo gets killed by 2o when the lop is 35 rainbow. Some
decisions are easy, others harder. Len still, the system has rules or playing the lop.
1he terminology I use is that or there to be a possible str8 or lush draw possible, you will
see 2-3 cards o the same suit on the lop or 2-3 connector cards on the lop. lor example, a
lop o any two diamonds and a spade is a lush threat to you ,unless you hae 2 diamonds
o course and one is an A,. A lop o 913 is a str8 threat to you ,someone seeing the lop
with QK has an open ended straight against you now,. 1his aects how aggressie you play
so pay attention to the lop and quickly determine i there are either o these threats staring
you down. A weak lush is 2 o the same suit, strong lush is all 3 cards in the lop are same
suit. Likewise, a weak str8 is 2 connectors a strong str8 are 3.
J. You have the top pair. eg. You have JJ, flop is 973.
^oove ba. bet ,et.
bet. \ou are doing this to get any potential str8 and drawing person out o your hair.
Keep in mind, people that hae a 4 lush draw will stay in against you. I someone
had a gut shot str8 chance they will probably ,hopeully, old. Same or a 3 card lush
draw person.
oveove bet atreaa,.
Raise.
Yov are facivg a rai.e ava bare atreaa, vt vove, iv tbe ot tbi. rovva.
I you hae already bet one, call the raise - reraise i you hae top kicker or a
backdoor lush draw or gut shot str8 ,or better,, otherwise call.
Yov are facivg a rai.e ava bare ^O1 vt av, vove, iv tbe ot tbi. rovva.
Only call i your kicker is 10 or better,or i you hae a gut shot str8 or lush draw,.
Note -i there are three suited cards or 3 connectors on the lop and someone is
raising into you, lOLD.
Lxample: \ou hae K9s. llop comes KJ3rainbow. Someone bets, another person
raises. \ou should lOLD. \our kicker is weak, the person raising has at least a K
with high kicker, possibly a set or 2 pr. I you had KQ you call the raise.






2. You have a pair, but the board shows a higher pair possible. eg. You have KK, flop
is AQ7.

^oove ba. bet ,et. Yov cattea or rai.ea tbe reriov. rovva.
\our pair is middle pair and is ten or better or middle pair with a kicker o ten or
better - and there is no lush,2 same color cards, or str8 threat, BL1 i there are only
4 people in the pot ,you plus 3 others OR less,. \ou might hae the top pair.
\ou are last to act - BL1. 1his sets you up or a ree card next round i needed.
Since you bet here, while its cheap, others will either old ,good or you, or call and
check to you next round ,when bets increase,. 1his gies you a potentially ree card
in the next round. Ater the next card comes, i your hand doesn`t improe you can
check. I it does improe - you bet again. I it doesn`t improe and someone bets
into you next round - you can old. Lither way the ree card was cheap.
\ou hae any pair and hae either a gut shot str8 draw or a back door lush,or
better, draw. NO1L: back door lush draw means you need two cards to hit a lush
with two cards to come. \e bet on these because the implied odds are good enough
in most cases.
\ou are heads up - bet.
Otherwise - lOLD
oveove bet atreaa,.
\our pair is middle pair and is ten or better AND you hae either a gut shot draw or
a back door lush draw - RAISL. 1his is a big expert` play. \ou will potentially get
others to old. \ou also hae a decent draw to hit either the lush,str8, a set or 2
pair. Many will be uncomortable doing this.
\ou are last to act - raise. 1his sets you up or a ree card next round i needed.
Since you bet here, while its cheap, others will either old ,good or you, or call and
check to you next round ,when bets increase,. 1his gies you a potentially ree card
in the next round. Ater the next card comes, i your hand doesn`t improe you can
check. I it does improe - you bet again.
\ou are heads up - raise.

Yov are facivg a rai.e.
I someone is raising and you hae not acted yet, lOLD. 1hey hae you beat. It is
true that they might be bluing but it is doubtul. 1his is one reason why you bet as
well-to get inormation on other players hands. It is cheaper to ind out now, than


to ind out later that they had a set or the top pair. \ou must assume that someone
has you beat already and lOLD. Most players at this leel ,besides us, do not play as
experts. I they raise a bettor, they probably hae a set or 2 pr. At least top pair with
a good kicker.

3. You have no pair but both of your hole cards are better than all the flop cards. eg.
You have AJo, flop is 2S9 Overcard situation.
Yov rai.ea reriov. rovva;.K for eavte - fto ]]2).
\ou are last to act - bet , raise,doing this or a ree card setup,. Note i the board is
one color and you hae no lush card - check.
1here are 2 or less people in the pot ,not including you, - Bet
More than 3 other people in the pot - only BL1 i you hae a gutshot str8 draw or a
back door lush draw as well.
Someone has bet into you - shows great strength in their hand - gien you raised
pre-lop,in many cases,. Raise i you hae a good str8 or lush draw with the 2
oercards. I board is paired - old. Otherwise old.
1his is probably one o the most complicated hands to play. \ou hae usually
shown strength,prelop, but the lop is no help. 1he general principle here is the
closer your oercards are to A the better. AK is ideal. An uncoordinated lop is
good. I you hae a lush draw or str8 draw to go with your oerpairs the better. I
the lop is coordinated but won`t help you ,eg lop is 9h3h2d you hae Ac1c, you
should probably old to any bet made. I you had Ah1c in this example you should
bet,raise.
Note: I your hand doesn`t improe next round - you will be checking,olding -
unless you hae a str8 or lush draw still. I you are heads up and still hae 2
oercards - bet.



4. You have a 4 card flush draw. --> 3S chance you'll hit it with two more cards
coming, eg You have Aspade Sspade, flop is 7spade 4spade 9diamond.

^oove ba. bet ,et.


Bet.
oveove bet atreaa,.
Raise i you hae any oercard to what is on the board or a pair already. Also raise i
you hae any gutshot str8.
Yov are facivg a rai.e.
Call the raise. Reraise i you hae a pair as well.
S. You have an open ended str8. eg You have 1J, flop Q93 -->3J chance you'll hit it.
^oove ba. bet ,et.
Bet. \ou hae good odds here.
oveove ba. bet.
I you hae oercards or a backdoor lush draw to go with your str8 draw ,or a pair,
raise. I there is a strong lush threat or your str8 draw is the bottom str8 only call.
Note: Str8 draws can be a pain. 1hey are beat so oten een i you hit. Because o
this, we only play them aggressie i there is no real threat out there. Otherwise, treat
them as ok hands. \hen the entire lop is one color, it is wise to old because more
than likely, another card o that suit will come up. \hen it does someone will hae
the lush ,i they don`t already,. \ou are drawing dead at this point. 1he only
exception is i you hae a lush draw as well ,with a ourth same suited card that is 1
or higher,.




6. You have a set OR 2 pair. eg You have AA flop is AQ3 OR K9 with flop K9A
bet-Raise and reraise. If someone raised the previous round, check to them expecting them to bet.
Once they bet- raise. We want to build up the pot.



7. Some combination of the above.


You have a str8 and flush draw or high pair with a flush draw, etc..
bet aggressie, raise,reraise any bet

8. Ilopped a full-house, str8 or flush
1he correct thing to do in this case is to slow play. Call any bet made to. I you are heads
up check - you don`t want to scare your buddy. 1his is a deception play. \e are
raising,betting the next round.

9. GARBAGL
Anything else, \OU should lOLD. lolding is hard to do at times but is the best option.
Don't chase a pot with a pair that is not the highest pair possible. I you start with 22-99
and don't lop the set or hae top pair lOLD. I you hae AXs and don't hit the 4 lush or
pair a card, lOLD. I you hae KK and lop has an A and someone bets into you ,ater you
raised pre-lop, or raises your bet, lOLD. I you hae JQo and lop is K34, check,lOLD.
Summary:
\ou are choosing to put money in the pot ONL\ i:
your hand has improed to a lush or open ended str8 draw,
hae a great draw with middle pair or oercards and eeryone else seems
passie
i you are interested in gaining inormation about eeryone elses hands - the
semi-blu ,only done i you raised pre-lop with a ery nice starting hand,
i you hae the top pair so ar
Or i you hae some other monster hand,set, lopped a str8 or lush,.






V. The turn.
I you are still in, you either had:
ligh pair
Premium starting hands ,KQ, AKo, but no help on the lop - you bet once post
lop, no one raised - but some called and now you are orced to either bet or check
,happens oten, ater seeing a ourth card.
A set ,three o a kind,
Some nice draw
Open ended str8
4 Card llush draw
ligh cards ,no pair though,, both your hole cards are higher than the lop and no
one was betting ater the lop, or you also had a 3 card str8,lush draw.
Garbage that no one betted with. Maybe you were blind with 2s and eeryone
checked the lop that was 9J3rainbow.

1he key to the turn, is knowing when to lOLD.
J. HIGH PAIR -You Still have the top pair. eg. You have JJ, flop is 973, turn is 6.
OR your premium pair hit - you had AKo flop (723) turn (A).
rer,ove cbec/. to ,ov - .bovta baev vo.t of tbe tive.

I someone who wasn't betting suddenly starts betting into you and it looks like a
inal lush or str8 card hit, lOLD ,the strength that they are now showing in the ace
o your raises and aggressie betting, says your beat,. So i there are now 3 cards o
the same suit or a 3-4 card open ended str8 possible and someone starts betting into
you ,when they werent beore,, simply lOLD. Low limit players are predictable in
this way. Usually they won`t blu at this stage ,that happens at the rier more than
here,.

Call their bet. 1hey probably hae a set or 2 pr. Lspecially i you raised them on the
preious betting round -but it should be a low 2 pr or low set. Anyone betting into
you again has a nice hand and probably does hae you beat. loweer, Calling a
single raise is good at this point ,on the chance you`ll hit a set or 2 pr,. I you hae a
str8 draw or lush draw een better.
Yov bare bet ava .oveove rbo ;v.t cbec/ea to ,ov .vaaevt, rai.e. ,ov. ;cbec/ rai.ea)
lOLD. \ou are beat. 1his is a dead gie away and will happen eery once in a
while. 1hey know you are betting and will check raise to get an extra bet in. 1hey
will only do this i they hae a monster hand ,usually - eery once in a while you see
some loonie checkraise in order to blu, Only call i you hae an awesome draw
with your high pair, 1 card to hit the lush and you hae the A,.
Note: \ou will see that the ideal situation here is that people simply call your bets. 1his is
what will happen most o the time. \hen suddenly a raise pops up, or some one else starts
betting instead o checking to you, beware and old,call the bet as stated aboe.

2. Premium starting hand (AKo), but still no pair AKo flop (723) turn (Q).

^o ove ba. bet ,et - erer,ove ba. cbec/ea to ,ov.
I you still haen't hit a card, simply check and get ready to lOLD. Does this look
weak \OU BL1 I1 DOLS. DO you care NOPL. 1his is extremely hard to do.
It is tempting to keep betting. 1his is a stone cold blu at this point and is irrational
at low limit holdem. Don't do it. Simply check, someone will bet, and you will
lOLD- i noone bets, you might still hae the top hand but probably not. More
than likely someone has a small pair already. \our AKo is worthless i someone has
a pair o 9's. \ith only one more card to come, and een hitting it won't guarantee a
win at this point, it is silly to bet on a hope. I you hae AK and one card to come,
the odds o making a AorK are about 12. I the pot is around >25 dollars, eel ok
to call one more. 1his gies you decent odds. >20 is not suicient since your
oponenet might,and probably does hae, either 2 pr, str8, lush or an A,K as well.
1his will seem to happen a lot as well and you eel like it`s a waste. Rest assure, the
times you do hit will make up the small losses you suer by olding now. More than
likely all you`e lost is >1 ->1,raise, pre-lop and >1 post lop,with your
inormational - semi blu bet,. 1hat`s >3 dollars. Not too much to loose. Now, i
you hit these, you`ll get quite a bit more than these around >10->15 proit depending
on how many people called your raises. \ou`ll get the blinds >1.5 - ,i 2 call, >6,
plus around 2 rounds o betting heads up,assuming one olded, 2x>2 is another >4.
1hat`s >11.5 conseratiely.

but anyone who has already been betting, you should be able to beat. I they hae
been betting beore, assume they hae 2 pr or high pair ,AA, KK,. \ou want to bet
and raise them in this case. I they come back with a reraise, simply call ,unless you
hae the high set and no str8,lush threat exists, in which case you cap out the bets,.

they will not betting prior rounds, and then suddenly the third spade hits the board
and they wake up and start raising you. Could be another set howeer, in which case
you might still be ok. Don`t take the chance by reraising them though. \ou call
these raises because they might only hae 2pr as well. Don`t lOLD.

low limit holdem.
J0. GARBAGL
Anything else, \OU should lOLD. or example, you were in the blind and hit a small pair
,not the top pair howeer,. \ou should not bet. Simply old. \ou can get into lots o
trouble with blinds be careull. Also, i you had the Axs and the x paired and your hand


didnt improe with the turn card, lOLD. I your hand didn`t improe or isn`t the top pair
anymore , you must lOLD any one betting into you.
Summary:
\ou are choosing to put money in the pot ONL\ i you currently hae a winning
hand ,lush, str8, 2 pr, top pair ,good kicker, or ull house
\ou are calling a bet or a raise ,in some cases, i you hae a good drawing hand.


lOLD i you hae garbage and someone bets into you.


















V. The River.
1ry to see all the possible straights, flushes, etc. on the board. Consciously do that
because when you are ocused on your hand it is sometimes ery easy to miss a straight or
lush that just appeared. Lspecially i you are ocused on your opponent haing a similar
,but smaller, hand than your own. Be especially careul i you make a straight and a third
lush card has also allen een i that third lush card was a backdoor lush.


Playing the rier is airly straight orward. I you made it this ar, you should hae either
,ater getting the rier card,:
ligh pair
Premium starting hands ,Ako, but no top pair. \ou bet aggressiely early on, but
then started checking, eeryone else checked as well ,otherwise you would hae
olded beore the rier,.
Missed your open ended str8 draw.

Missed your 4 card lush draw.

no one was betting ater the lop ,otherwise you would hae olded,, or you also had
a 3 card str8,lush draw.
Garbage and no one bet into you ,otherwise you would hae olded,. Maybe you
were blind with 2s and eeryone checked the lop that was 9J3rainbow, turn was Q
and rier 4.

Raise once, only call any reraise. Look out or 4 o a kind or the top ull house. Note:
i the rier card was a same colored suit as 2 other cards on the board, assume they
hae the lush and cap out the betting round. Some people play 4 lush draws
aggressiely early on. 1he odds o a 4 o a kind are slim so bet aggressie in this
case.

7. Anything else. GARBAGL
Check and lOLD any bet made to you. Don`t bet i you hae the medium pair. Its not
worth it.





Summary:
In general, i you make it this ar, you should hae a winning hand ,or got here or ree,.
Bet once i your hand continues to appear strongest ,as the system indicates,.
Get into raising matches only i you hae the nuts or extremely close to it. lor example,
i you hae a K-high lush, only raise once. Simply call any reraise against you.
Beware i someone bets and another person calls behind them. 1his is not a blu-they
must hae something.







V. Advanced Concepts {still part of the system
though}
J. Getting a free card.
1he \ASP system says that i the lop comes and you hae a hand you would normally
check with but is worth drawing or, you should do a raise i you are last to act and no other
raises hae occurred. lor example, you hae A5s, lop comes 59Jrainbow. \ou hae a 3
card lush draw and i you hit the Ace or another 5 you hae a winning hand ,een another
spade gies a good draw on the rier,. Someone bets to you and its your turn to act ,AND
\OU ARL LAS1 1O AC1,. 1he system says, to raise them >1. \hat this will do is gie
you ,hopeully, a ree card when the betting rounds increase - allowing an eeryone checks
to you case, where you can check as well. 1he turn will come and you will either hae hit
your hand or not. I you hit it , in this case either the 5 or A,, then bet again. I you miss
this as well, hopeully eeryone will hae checked to you giing you a ree card since you can
now check as well. 1hey will grumble and hopeully you`ll hit. 1hey will probably bet on
the rier and i you hit, you can now raise. \orks great! I they reraise you, congrats, you
know that they hae a monster hand, lOLD immediately.
2. Iolding when beat.
lOLD lOLD lOLD. 1his is one key to the system. I you are not making proits, a good
chance is that you are not olding when you know you are beat. \ou are betting on a long
shot, hoping you`ll hit a set with your small pair or gut shot str8. 1he \ASP system has you
playing hands ONL\ when you hae the best, or a good shot at becoming the best relatie
to eeryone else.
3. Getting an empire account
I you hae a party poker account but not empire, I encourage you to sign up on empire as
well -to get another deposit bonus. Use the ollowing sign up codes to do this:
\INS\S25 - >25 bonus on 1
st
deposit
\INS\S100 - ,20 bonus, ,max >100, on 1
st
deposit
I you hae an empire poker account but not party use the ollowing:
S\S25 - >25 bonus on 1
st
deposit
S\S100 - ,20 bonus, ,max >100, on 1
st
deposit



Lmpire poker and party poker are the same shell,site. \ou will see the exact same players
on both sites - but they are dierent companies. \eird, but this means or us that we can
get an easy >100 by signing up through empire,party and getting the deposit bonus.

4. Other nuggets of info
AL\A\S Look or a reason to lOLD a raise. 1ake notice, when people raise, what do
they usually hae \hen you preiously raised ,say you had KK, a hand and bet again ater
the lop ,either or inormation or because you hae high pair or trips, and other players
passiely check to you, what do they usually hae \hen they raise you what do they usually
turn oer At these limits, sometime people blu. Occasionally you`ll say, \O\ I can`t
beliee I olded that, he had a pair o 2`s, I had JJ but a K was showing on the lop and he
was betting aggressiely, so I olded. MAN!! I only I would hae called his lousy 2> raise I
would hae taken it. But, most o the time this is NO1 the case. Usually i someone bets,
they hae just hit a draw, 2 pr or something like that. In the long run, the system says old i
it looks like you are beat ,someone starts raising your bets or a lop has an A and you hae 2
K`s. \hen you get a nice premium starting hand, don`t think \LS!! linally I can win a hand.
1hink, how is this potentially beat. \ou hae KK and raised , reraised pre-lop. llop
comes ,your hoping or no A`s and sure enough an A appears. Leryone checks to you and
you bet. Someone immediately re-raises you. \hat do you do lOLD. lor another
example, Lets say eeryone calls,no one raises you,. Next round bets are >2. \ou check
this time and someone bets into you. \our actions lOLD. 1hey hae another A or just
hit 2pr or were slow playing a set.

Likewise, look or a reason to NO1 see the lop. Remember, or you to VOLUN1ARIL\
put money in the pot, you should hae a good chance o winning it. \ou hae A5s and
suddenly a raise is in your ace. \hat to do \ou haen`t put AN\ money in yet so lOLD.


S. Pot odds
1his system has been designed to be played as simply as possible. Many times howeer the
correct action can be conusing when looking at oercards ,no pair, or gutshot-backdoor
lush draws or middle,bottom pairs. Should you call,old or raise One simply method to
calculate is to determine how many outs you hae. I you hae 2 oerpairs -AK and a
gutshot str8 draw and the pot has >10 and someone bets, another bets what should you do
Calculate your outs A ,3 outs,or K,3 outs, plus the str8 gutshot card ,4 outs,. 1he pot has
>10 plus the >2 just added - or >12.00. 1he odds o you hitting one o your hands is 3-3-4
~10 outs. Double this and you hae 20. \ou can estimate that you hae a 20 chance o
hitting one o your cards with one card coming. Since calling only costs >1 you hae great
odds,betting >1 to win possible >12 and you hae a 20 chance o hitting a winning card,.
In act, you should raise to try and get others to old and build up the pot. So add your outs
and double that number or a . 1his is a rough way to calculate your odds but can be
helpul. Remember that just because you might hit an out- doesn`t mean you will always


win. I you hit the A, someone else might hae 2 pr and you lose. Use this as an estimate.
1o account or this- you can use partial outs. Perhaps only count 4 or 5 outs instead o the
ull 6 or the AK draws. Using this system using pot odds is beneicial in times where the
correct call is unclear.
























X. Follow through
J. 1ake notes
I hae great conidence in this system. 1o summarize it, you are playing tight aggressie.
\hile the system is being tested as objectiely as possible, sometimes something might
happen when you iolate the protocols o the \ASP system. \hen this happens, take note
and jot down what happened. Did it work out or you or not Larly on, I took great
pleasure in watching the results o the decisions I made. lor example, when you old KK or
KQ because an A appeared and they were betting against you ater you raised pre-lop,
watch how many times they really do lip oer another Ace.
\hen you old your 2 pair because there was a raise ahead o you beore you bet, watch the
lop. low oten does the set occur Note how much this happens and you saed an extra
bet by not calling the raise.
2. Start your own blog.
Share your results with the world. Let me know your blogger address and use a similar
ormat that I use i possible, showing the stats rom party. 1his will help you compare your
results to mine and help resole any problems that might exist in interpreting the \ASP
system. Bloggers are easy to set up, simply go to www.blogger.com and ollow the directions.
3. Keep in touch.
Let me know how it is going. I am conident in this system howeer i you are loosing with
it, email me and let me know so I can reiew some hands with you. Also, i you hae any
questions email me at inosystematicpoker.com.











X. On a final note.
I want to thank you or expressing interest in this system. As my project continues, I will
continue to make new goals and potentially examine how this system might work at higher
limits - or at this limit with een better results. I will keep a running email list o system
users and keep all updated as to any changes that might occur. 1his is an educational
experience in a sense. It is somewhat lying in the ace o traditional poker education that
says you must play the person, not the cards. Many are coninced that to win at Low limit
holdem, the opposite is true. \ou play the cards, not the person. Solid, unemotional poker
is what we strie or. 1his project was started with the intent o proing or disproing this
theory. Attempting to optimize play in the most ways possible.

1ake care and regards..












I`m no lawyer ,dont laugh at the ine print,, but I should probably put something here that says something on the order o - I can not be
held accountable or losses incurred while using this system. laing said that, I am conident in it and will guarantee that the results seen
on the blogger www.systematicpoker.com are true results reaped rom the system as explained in this manual.
