Hello
I just started to play poker again. I ve read the book 'the mathematcis of poker' by Bill Chen. i highly recommend it, it is about optimal play. But i have some trouble at the table...
When i find an oppenent playing more agressively and i could play exploitive by making more calls re raise and this will increase the EV. But its not that i can isolate him from the rest of the players. So i find a problem when i keep trying to play optimal... Ofcourse i ll get more value out of my AA and KK etc...but these are rare hands and i find it hard to play the medium hand...which get overvalued by the bets going in...wich confuses me a bit cause optimal play should be the same against every strategy..but in the end i end up folding a lot of medium hand, because the bets go high and y it not cause they are more agressive they cant have the nuts. So if i play the same strategie i will get i increased value on my rare high hand but i lose a lot of value on my common medium hand...is this normal?
mvg,
Pieter
