1) position helps

2) Checking behind the turn / calling river can often be a good move against opponents who will float one street.

3) making bigger preflop raises is a direct reduction in implied odds but also discourages action from worse hands.

4) Raising a wider range is more useful.

e.g. say you only ever raise AA. Villain gets 8:1 implied odds and can now just aabout call to bust you. now you raise AA or KK. Villain still gets 8:1 stack odds but you give up on A high flops (after a cbet) so his implied odds are worse.

Now you raise QQ+ and give up (reasonably easily) on K+ high flops. His implied odds are worse.

throw in AK.

Throw in lower PPs (like 77 sometimes?)

now he calls with 55, folds the best hand when you both miss and you have AK, stacks off when you both hit a set and you have 77, doesnt win alot on A high flops, and generally has to work alot harder. His implied odds are worse.


5) ...and alot more i havnt thought of.
