So, who is Zeebo? What does the theorem suggest, and does it really work in poker? Without further ado, let\u2019s explore this theory in detail.<\/strong><\/p>\n Unlike many complex approaches and theories, Zeebo\u2019s idea is relatively straightforward, suggesting that players will never fold a full house, regardless of the betting round or size of the bet.<\/b><\/p>\n Because of its simplicity, this theorem is the most effective of all similar theories<\/b> appearing on poker forums for the past two decades.<\/p>\n The following are a couple of reasons why this strategy works:<\/strong><\/p>\n The theory was coined by an online player nicknamed \u201ccaptZEEbo,\u201d <\/b>who also uses the alias Captain Zeebo<\/b> in online communities. It was later revealed that the professional high-stakes player was actually Greg Lavery.<\/b> He had a poker blog, which has been down for a while.<\/p>\n Zeebo has been active on the 2 + 2 forum, and there\u2019s even a documentary<\/a> by DeucesCracked about Lavery\u2019s professional poker career.<\/p>\n Now that you understand the rule suggested by the theorem, it\u2019s crucial to know how to use it in practice and start making money.<\/p>\n It all comes down to two essential rules.<\/strong> Imagine you hold K\u2665 and 10\u2660 while the board shows K\u2660, K\u2663, J\u2665, and J\u2663. In this case, you already have a full house with three kings and two jacks. If you assume that the opponent has a jack, it\u2019s time to make them pay for it.<\/p>\n Following Zeebo\u2019s theorem, we can assume that the opponent won\u2019t fold their full house, even though you have a better hand.<\/p>\n Why would they do that?<\/i> Well, Lavery believes it\u2019s some kind of psychological trick where players always convince themselves they have a winning hand whenever they have a full house, even when common sense suggests that the opponent might have an advantage.<\/p>\n If you get into a situation where you could assume your opponent has a full house, you\u2019ll most likely have the higher ground by applying the theorem.<\/p>\n Of course, exceptions might happen occasionally, and we\u2019ll cover them in the following section. The rule might work most of the time with casual or even professional players. However, there\u2019s always a 1% chance that you\u2019ll stumble upon a poker pro who has a highly tight approach. In that case, they\u2019ll likely fold, and that\u2019s a way to tell that the opponent is a true expert in this game. In this situation, 99% of players in Laak\u2019s position would probably shove. Truth be told, Laak\u2019s initial move was a $16,400 raise, with Chan countering him with a $46,400 reraise.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/i> What Is Zeebo\u2019s Theorem?<\/span><\/h2>\n
