<p>mammamia-Don’t worry, just tell your son not to chase on his flush/straight draws when people raise to 3 times the size of the blinds or more. And also tell him to make sure that he bets aggresively preflop when he’s holding a top 15 hand-the optimal outcome in those situations is for a single person to call a big raise. If you try and get cute and slowplay people too much when you have the best hand pre-flop, someone’s going to fish and you’re going to get burned with half the table drawing at you like that. And finally, remind him that the payout structure favors the guy that gets 1st or 2nd every once in awhile and gets out early the rest of the time, not the guy who plays too tight and finishes barely in the money every other game. Be smart, but be aggressive.</p>
<p>(Just kidding, I know you’re worried about how he’ll set his priorities. My mom is the same way :P)</p>
