This thread was created mostly to have a little fun, but since we are being serious - thinking about 'your image' or what other players notes are on you, isn't overthinking at all, it is taking your images and using it against other players, adjusting, is the definition of exploitation.
If someone thinks you are a tight player - opening suited gappers oop or from EP/MP would exploit those players in LP - who think ys.ou are always opening tight with premium holding The leaks to capitalize on are in relation to your image (others notes) they fold when you open, or they fold to c-bet on the flop when you c-bet.
This is an ultra simple example - however - the logic is accurate.
EDIT: Floating without a clear plan to take down the pot on later streets is barely exploiting in my books. Though we should not play PIO way in micros/freerolls as well.
So the notes on you might read - Nitty player who attempts to exploit other players when in position?
"opening suited gappers oop" How does this even work apart of being in sb? if im opening, I am the first one who OPENS the action and ill get oop only if someone ahead calls (being picky to words you say, as you do to me, though we are still friends
)
Secondly, it is indeed simple and clear to understand example and perhaps most often used leverage to exploit in poker.
However i was mostly referring to turn cbet frequency after a bet on the flop, or the river third barrel range. I will give a simple to understand example as well. If you cbet any two cards on the turn after checking on the flop, how many players will start raising at quarter of their range to exploit your range?
I agree while this example is extremely uncommon, i think people do not adjust their frequencies accordingly to players they face. Mostly people cbet 80-100% of their range (at least that is what people do where i play), PIO suggests raising any
equity hands (gut shots, back doors etc.) and flat only strongest hands along with weakest and medium strength hands like straight draw (given we are reasonably deep), however people never do that.
Thanks for pointing out my inaccurate wording. You did a great job pointing out where people should look pre-flop!
Good Luck all!
