Hey all :hello:
Recently while playing a 6 seater SnG I came across a player with an usual strategy which I had not come up against before, the guy NEVER PFR's!
At first I thought,what is this guy up to, he'll never get paid off like that :aetsch: But as the game progressed he trapped his opponents more and more
He constantly checked & flat called allowing his opponents to believe they had the better hand & then he would either flat call, shove or raise on the river & the showdown would reveal premium hands. :shot:
I tried the strategy myself a bit but found it allowed opponents to limp in with mediocre hands & beat my premium hands too often so I dumped it again :hmmmm2:
I guess I'm just wondering if there are many players that play like this since I hadn't seen it before and also is there a particular strategy best suited against this type of opponent :questionm
Also can playing like that actually be advantageous in the long run? My initial thought is no, over limpers cracking your hands but I'd love to hear some opinions on it. :icon_thum
