Your Cash Game Strategy


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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...

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

Your input is greatly appreciated.(mine is pretty much TAG, wait for the big hands, bluff very infrequently, just wanted to get an idea if this is the way to go or not.)
if you are talking about NLHE. find a player at the site you play who makes (overbet bluffs and is a slowplayer on his big hands). then follow him around to every table he plays at.as all the others said there is no set strategy for NLHE. of course there are probably ideal set strategies for other forms of poker: full ring O8 or stud8, Heads Up LHE (depending on opponent of course), and certain forms of Draw Poker. (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.

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.

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.

Yeah 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.
