| Tight Aggressive Hello All: In my opinion the style where everyone should be gear'ed toward's, but let's see what Roy say's. TIGHT-AGGRESSIVE OK, so now we're to the PREFERRED playing style for no-limit Texas Holdem... and that's tight-aggressive. Tight-aggressive players choose their starting hands wisely. They rarely "limp-in". Instead, they usually either FOLD or RAISE before the flop. After the flop, they'll make aggressive bets if they've got a hand or if they raised pre-flop. The reason a tight-aggressive playing style is so effective is because you only risk chips when you've got a good hand. But when you DO risk chips, you risk a LOT of them... so it only takes a couple wins to build a nice-sized stack. This is the playing style used and recommended by just about every professional card player. It's often referred to as "aggressively smart" or "selective aggression". Now, the DOWNSIDE of a tight-aggressive style is that it's often easy to read. This style can often build a tight table image... and when that happens, your opponents won't give you action for your big hands. So how do you solve this problem? The solution is to INTENTIONALLY establish a LOOSE table image... by carefully choosing times in the game to play like a "manic". For example... once in awhile... show a bluff. Especially near the beginning of the game. You'll want to do this when you sense weakness and have good positioning-- just as you'd do with any good bluff. Let's say you pick up 8-7 clubs on the button and three players limp-in. You raise 7x the big blind and everyone folds. That's when you flip over your suited-connectors and say, "C'mon guys, I just KNOW someone had my eight high beat..." A move like this is usually enough... depending on the table... to get you action for your big hands later. That way when you pick up K-K on the button a bit later... and make the SAME pre-flop raise of 7x the big blind, you get a caller or two. A huge advantage of playing tight-aggressive is that many of your opponents won't distinguish between LOOSE and AGGRESSIVE. As we discussed, "loose" is related to which hands you'll play... and "aggressive" is related to betting. If you raise aggressively with strong hands... and then mix it up with the occasional well-timed bluff... you'll be able to throw your opponents off and keep them guessing every step of the way. Of course, as you know, there are many "degrees" in between these four main playing styles... Even though you should use TIGHT-AGGRESSIVE as your main style, you must be able "shift gears" and mix up your approach throughout the game... that way you don't become predictable. More importantly, you must learn WHEN to shift gears... HOW to vary your playing style... and special "tricks" you can use to FOOL your opponents without risking too many chips. When you learn skills like these, you'll be able to CONSISTENTLY win at Texas Holdem poker-- at virtually any level-- and immediately raise your "poker profits". Info from Roy SHERMSTICK |
