plugging some holes- what to run

[thrash1294]

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......

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
