plugging some holes- what to run

[BrianSwa]

guess that means you never read a poker book?

I stopped too....who wrote this exactly? I know you got it "from another forum" but was it attributed to anyone?

Poker books tend to have format, structure and cohesiveness that (at least skimming) this does not have much of. Maybe I will get bored and read through it (especially if those without ADHD can read it and tell me if it is any good).

join the club bro im ADHD TOOO!! lol

[BrianSwa]

I read the entire thing and yes its good, I honestly dont know who its from Im in process of writting back guy that sent it to get link to it.

ok, so I don't play a lot of live cash games. At $25NL tables online I have done well (except recently-2nd kid and crashed computer have put a damper on my game). This seems like good rockish advice for big live cash games. At the micro games online, aggression is king and this doesn't really speak to that.

So maybe I am like the 2nd grader laughing at the advice of the college student, but it doesn't seem relevant for me yet.

That is a weird strategy... this guy is crazy tight and passive - and it sounds like all he does is sit around and wait to hit monsters... I can see his strategy actually working if he's at a table where nobody pays attention to him, but it just seems weak and boring to me and there are alot of things i don't agree with.

forgot to mention that I like the idea of investing, but I always think of it as my buyin is the investment and the hands are the opportunities, as opposed to investing in the hands.

Maybe it is just semantics, but I think the difference is tangible.

I didnt really see it that way JD, basicly what I got from it was he only raises preflop with suited connectors and big pairs and AK. Of course he dosent run hands like QT becuase they dont pay off to well. Tight and aggresive is how I see he plays. For someone like me that has a very limited bankroll the way he plays seems very profitable not all big ballers like you.

for someone with a very big bankroll that can take alot more chances but for someone with limited bankroll I think tight/aggresive is way to go. This also really isnt for someone playing 2/4 and 3/6 NL. Also that would be why he raises with suited connectors and when he talks about his table image and the fact that everyone will think he is weak with all his limping.

I'm not saying this strategy won't work- although i don't think it will work very well in the higher limits- it probably works pretty well in the lower limits- It's just not my style of poker at all - but seriously if ur playing the lower limits and playing 9 person tables i don't see any reason not to use it if it indeed works.

[BrianSwa]

yea I edited my last post to say it wouldnt work in higher limits probobly, and trust me I wouldnt try to say anything is wrong with your game I have railed you many nights. Id say hi but i got no money in stars and you cant talk . Totally agree though that at your level people would pick off your strategy in like 2 minutes.

Yes very passive and basic But a winning strategy for ring games .I apply this method..except for suited connector raises.boring and dull yes but it works.
now Jd may have some strategy and I would like to hear it because he must be doing something right cause he is on fire......
