# Every story on the sheet

All eight stories, grouped by the section they were filed under.

Cash Games

### [Position is the only edge you are handed for free](https://pokernewsstrategy.com/cash-games/position-and-the-value-of-acting-last/)

Acting last is worth more than any starting hand, because it turns two guesses into one and lets the same cards be played for a wider profit.

### [A continuation bet is an argument, and dry boards make it easy to win](https://pokernewsstrategy.com/cash-games/continuation-betting-and-board-texture/)

The bet that follows a raise is only as strong as the board it is made on. Texture, not the cards in hand, decides whether the story holds together.

Tournaments

### [Short stacks and the point where raising stops making sense](https://pokernewsstrategy.com/tournaments/short-stacks-and-the-push-or-fold-threshold/)

Below a certain depth, a raise that is not a commitment is just a smaller loss. The threshold is set by the blinds, not by the cards.

### [What the bubble does to the value of a chip](https://pokernewsstrategy.com/tournaments/how-the-bubble-changes-chip-value/)

In a tournament, chips won are worth less than chips lost. Near the money that gap widens far enough to change which hands are worth playing.

Odds & Maths

### [Pot odds, and the one division that settles most calls](https://pokernewsstrategy.com/odds-and-maths/pot-odds-and-the-break-even-call/)

A call is worth making when the chance of winning is greater than the share of the final pot the call has to pay. Everything else is detail.

### [Counting outs is easy; counting the ones that actually win is not](https://pokernewsstrategy.com/odds-and-maths/counting-outs-and-reading-draws/)

The number of cards that improve a hand and the number that win it are rarely the same, and the gap between them is where money leaks.

Bankroll & Discipline

### [Variance is not bad luck, and a downswing is not a verdict](https://pokernewsstrategy.com/bankroll-and-discipline/variance-downswings-and-choosing-a-stake/)

A run of losing sessions tells a player almost nothing on its own. What it should change is the stake, the session length and the review, in that order.

Rules & Formats

### [Hand rankings and the order of the showdown](https://pokernewsstrategy.com/rules-and-formats/hand-rankings-and-showdown-order/)

The ranking of hands follows directly from how rare each one is, and the order in which cards are shown at the end follows from who bet last.
