I heard a very messed up strategy that is supposed to really help you win big if you use it sparingly. It involves staying in with low cards 2,3,4,5,6,7 looking for pairs and straights. If you do this a few times a night you can show bluff and if it hits you can make some very big wins.

I guess the logic is that most people are staying in with high cards, on suit and pairs. If the flop is low cards and a person has KING KING or ACE ACE in the hole I guess he would think himself a certain win.

What do you guys think?

If all you mean is limp in or call a small raise with low suited connectors, then I'd say it's a good idea, but not exactly revolutionary.

It works on me every time I raise wiht big cards, or pairs, someone always calls most of the time, and catches a straight on the river. That sucks.

thats not what he is saying...
his method is to play the cards that arent any good, hoping to catch something and fool everyone

know a few people who actually play like that lol, hate plaing against them because you dont know when they kept the low cards ;)

also had a guy tell me he plays 10 5 all the time because you cant have a str8 without a 10 or 5 in it.

Better known as sucking out! OK yes if you play a crap hand and hit you very easily could throw the whole table on TILT! There is NO NEED WHATSOEVER to play this way in low stakes online hold'em. The only time this strategy would pay off would be agaisnt very tight players and you can suck out a monster which might be the only way to actually pry their chips away from them.... Don't do it in low stakes online hold'em very unprofitable strategy!

There is a theoretical reverse domination play, it is a rare play, and difficult to identify. Oh and extremely expensive if you are wrong. I won't go into to much detail, as I don't recommend it for most folks.
If 4 or more opponents go into a multi way raised pot, a high distribution of primary power cards. There for a random hand gains equity in its redraw possibilities. ie. action goes:
Ak raises
qq reraises.
AQ calls
Kj calls
you have 35 off. horrible hand but higher draw equity in this situation. This is highly not reccommended for most. you are going in preflop with a horrible hand, in which you are surely behind, for multiple bets. If you identify the situation properly wow you get paid in full, and everyone thinks your an idiot.

You win the biggest pots when you play a style opposite to what you are known for playing.

If you are a rock and play this type of hand every once in a while and you hit the flop, expect your biggest payoffs as the other players will never put you on the hand you hold.
