So in talking smallest of the small stakes, 2c/4c. Am working on building up a reasonable bankroll from pretty mutch scratch ($50). I used to play 50c/$1 with a fair bankroll and eventually withdrew it due to personal finances off the table. Im back into my poker and want to start small to get a sense of achievement. So ive been playing text book (ish) TAG, at, dont laugh $4nl.
I was constantly being called down after raising with AKs KQS AA TT etc etc, and probably taking about about $5 or $6 of every $10 that goes in - not great.
Cue, change of attack. Any premium hand JJ,QQ,KK,AA (early pos)
add AKs AK in late pos, i simply go all in on my turn. I get fewer callers 2 at most, and also overlapping hands, ie one calls with A4 one calls with A8.
Result - much better return about $7 or $8 of every $10 that goes in,
With other playable hands, suited cons and small pairs. if i make sets or better i will play hyper aggressive usually all in and let them chase. (not flushes below K high) as theyre often incapable of laying TPTK, so i might as well bet when they still have the highest pair on the board.
With this i am doing far better than standard concept TAG, what are your opinions and experience doing this?
I understand for skill and development its pretty poor, but for increasing bankroll, its working well. Sample perhaps is 1,500 hands
Just hand 2 hands, on tables next to each other while multitabling. Pocket jacks. 10seater, i go all in. One Caller who has T7 suited, i take down a $7 pot.
Right at the same time, im big blind 97. Two callers, Flop 8TJ 2 suit spades. I lick my lips. One player bets 32c (a fair old bet at $4nl) next to act folds. I think about it for a bit (Sammi Farha style) then click all in. He calls in a split second and shows pocket aces. A ten hits the turn to scare me, but he doesnt fill up and i take another $7 pot.
And the guy offers a few choice swear words about what the hell i was doing playing with 97. I was going to say it was either check or fold, and i didnt see any value in folding. But i resisted. And just pushed him a little further on tilt with some select "ahahas" and "lols"
I mean, its one pair, one sodding pair. thats all. anyway. Just thought i would add a little commentry.
All comments welcome
