Petersen Talks About Poker and Becoming the Newest CardRunners Instructor

The Zone System was first introduced by Dan Harrington in his highly acclaimed book Harrington on Hold'em, Volume II: The Endgame. The system divides a poker tournament into five different zones based on a player's stack size as compared to the blinds and antes. Each zone will affect your play and correct strategy will vary dramatically as a result. The ratio of your stack compared to the blinds and antes is referred to as your "M." For example: You have $750 in chips and the blinds are $25/$50 with no antes. This means that you have 10 times more than the starting pot and your M is 10.

Having shot to fame with its recent inclusion in some of the TV high stakes cash games, the seven deuce game is an interesting and entertaining addition to any live game, one which can change the dynamic of the game and drastically increase a good player's edge.
