Play more with position rather than cards....
So, thats what happens to all my chips!I usualy give a few bucks to Philthy to go buy some drinks and swipe some of his while he's gone. (shhhh, don't tell him!)
How does that work out for you? I think its a good idea for the first couple of blind levels, but I think it might be playing a bit too tight since blinds are usually at 50/100 or 60/120 by the break. What do you do if you're card dead? And what about after the break?I only play the top 7 hands before the first break
. Hmm, I mean to say to avoid hands like KJ, 10J, Q9s, A10, etc in EP because they'll get you in trouble. If you're to open in mid-late position, then they're ok to limp/raise every now and then. EP, i play top 10 hands + limp in with mid pairs, mid-late position I play top 20 hands.Again I have to agree with Philthy, but I do play a bit looser than the cards mentioned in his earlier post.
I always get myself in BIG trouble with middle pairs, so if I can get to the flop for nothing I will sit there, and maybe even pay off a min bet to see the turn but if nothing by then I will muck my pocket cards.When you guys talk about playing aggressive....How far are you willing to go with a hand? For instance...blinds are 25/50 and if I am in mid/late position and I am holding middle pair while catching none of the flop (we will say 10, 7, K) and it is checked to me...and the pot has about 600 chips, and I make a stab at the pot with a bet of about 300 chips and get re-raised by someone in early position. Would the right move be to call or fold right there? I get myself in these situations alot and would like some help
It would depend on my opponent, how much the bet is, how much my opponent has, and how much I have in my stack. If my opponent is someone capable with raising with a 3rd pair or maybe just a draw, I might have the best hand. If its a small raise and its not costing me much I might call do see what they do on the turn. Since they're in early position, they act first and Im looking to go check/check. If they bet out, I can let the hand go. If I think they're on a weak steal attempt, I can come over the top with another raise and try to take it down. Or if they're pretty tight and will only be raising with top pair and a decent kicker, I'll lay it down. Usually though, this is an easy fold situation where it doesnt cost you much. You took a stab at the pot and it didnt work, try again next time.When you guys talk about playing aggressive....How far are you willing to go with a hand?
