plugging some holes- what to run

[BrianSwa]

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......

[BrianSwa]

agreed lets hear it JD.

I Never sit down with a certain strategy or system... because every situation is different ... you just have to take in all the info. u can from each particular situation and determine what the right play is at that time.

this is actually a very interesting article, I especially like the analysis of when to fold AK after hitting an ace... but there are several problems with this 'system'

1- he doesnt address all the money wasted by just calling with 10 10 and then folding when the flop coems Q 8 2, where as if he raised preflop, limited the field to 1 or 2 callers, then made a CB bet, he'd likely have taken the pot down

2- like JD said, any player with some intelligence will realize he is check folding 90% of the flops, thus when he is playing aggressive he shoul get some respect...

3- a lot of things need to happen when u hit a set, if you are to get paid off this monster pot he talks about... just bc u didnt raise doesnt mean the raiser (or other limpers) have hit with this hand enough to stay in against aggression....you can limp flop a set and win nothing more, just like u can raise with one... in fact if u were frequently raising, people would begin to not respect your raises at much, and either start valuing their hands higher or even playing back at you, so you could get MORE action if you raise

4- In a limped pot, the pot is small... anyone who is making big moves at it, obviously is very strong! Otherwise they wouldnt waste their effort on this small pot
