Lowball Poker Strategy

#1 16th April 2008, 7:29 AM

Hi everyone, I came across this 3 part video series by Daniel Negreanu about playing a lowball poker strategy and as I was watching it I began putting it to use and it has helped my game greatly. So much so that I played in one of my first Cardschat freerolls on Cake and took first place so I thought I would post a link and also ask for comments and any advice you may have on the subject. I would love to hear what type strategies you use and how you feel about that strategy in particular.

Yes I have seen this and I think this stradegy is for very good players that can out play people post flop and make the correct reads. I also think this would be effective way of building your stack and then once blinds got very big tighten up and change your style.

*nitty point of order*

It's actually called small ball, not lowball.

"Lowball" means games like razz and deuce-to-seven / ace-to-five draw where the lowest hand wins at showdown.

I actually start out playing tight since the blinds are so low, online anyway it seems that when the blinds are low everybody raises for way over 3xBB anyway. When you enter the pot for just 3xBB I get reraised a lot of the time. Then as the blinds start going up I then will change gears and play the small ball style, using the tight image to steal pots.
