FatBurger 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Right now I'm playing hyper aggressive on a micro table (waiting until my lunch break), just having fun.Won 12 out of 54 hands, up slightly. Link to post Share on other sites
nosoul 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 It completely depends on the table. If every hand goes to a showdown, don't bluff. If the table's playing tight, you need to start bluffing. There's not a single strategy that works across the board. You need to adjust to the table. Link to post Share on other sites

benhoug 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Typically I play twice as many hands as everyone else at the table, and I'm generally bringing it in for a raise. I guess I'm a little LAGGY. Link to post Share on other sites
CBFalcon 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Obviously it changes depending on the game...but in general...I start off really tight and try to grind until I become the big stack on the table...then I tend to loosen up and try and smash the table with the stack.I usually give myself a money point that if I drop below, I have to tighten back up and start grinding again...

erac22 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 You will definately get better input by looking in the strat section, but here's my input. Having a set strategy for nl holdem is very -ev IMO. The game by nature is very free form, and when played at the highest level, every decision you make should be dependent on your past actions, but also independent of any previous plays. To clarify, your plays and decisions throughout a session and a career earn you a particular table image, your opponents develop expectations of what your play will be in particular spots. Your goal in the present is to play off your opponents expectations to optimize your play. Having a "strategy" makes you predictable, and any decent player will pick up on your trends and exploit them. In other words, the best strategy is to always be changing your strategy, always be unpredictable, always keep your opponents guessing. How you go about doing that is in large part an issue of your poker personality, which as you play, learn, and move up limits, you will surely develop.glerac Link to post Share on other sites

(maybe not, but i think i could make a convincing case for all of these).edit: the more i think about it, the more i think i am wrong. "set" strategy is such a loaded term that i think i could make a case that there could be a set strategy for any game including NLHE. Presupposing, of course, you knew how the other players played.

DonkSlayer 1 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Sitting down in any cash game with a set strategy before evaluating the table is -EV. Link to post Share on other sites
rwood 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 best strat is adapt to the game. period. sometimes it's best to see as many flops as possible for as cheap as possible, sometimes you sit back and play 6% of hands and get the money in PF or flop. Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I try to win more money with my big hands than I lose with my bad hands. Simple but it has worked for me. Link to post Share on other sites
silkyjonson 1 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 It completely depends on the game. Last night I was playing at casino windsor and the biggest game they had was a 200 max. 2-5blinds which you may not think is a big game, but this is the most ultra aggressive mix of players consistantly, when i sat down at 8pm the average stack was 1k. So in this case I sat tight and tried to wait for a hand, as no one was folding for 200. 700 dollars and 8 hours later I finally built up some chips then went to work, I just waited for the ultra aggressive players and isolated them with a good hand and position and then maximized my profit. And started to make a lot of small bets at pots trying to pick up the little pots/look more aggressive and get paid off with my big hands. I guess my overall strategy varies but these days you can find a lot of games with calling stations or ultra aggressive players, so I tend to bluff a lot less and try to induce bluffs from my opponents with strong hands against ultra aggressive maniacs.

Willing 2 Die 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Ok thanks for the replies. How about when you are 4 tabling a .25-.50 cent game? for me it is very hard to focus on bluffing, but its easier for me just to play tight and wait for hands. Link to post Share on other sites

Cuz last time I was there it did.It was also a Saturday NightYeah they do but it does'nt come together that often. Usually on the weekends they have a 500 max and a 500 min, i tend to shy away from the 500 min as I don't have the bank roll. Link to post Share on other sites
dansheetz 0 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 The answer to all poker strategy questions is that it totally depends. Please ask a much more specific question next time. We need much more information in order to have an actual discussion. Link to post Share on other sites
