Hi all.
I`ve been reading a few posts about bad beats at NLHE, $0.01/0.02 limits.
I play poker but I play by pot odds/ good starting hands/ position and probably a few other ways I can`t think of.
But anyway, one post I have just read was ab out a set K`s on a rainbow flop, an all in push with a caller who had 33. (Flop was something like K67) set looses to runner, runner for a straight.
I know this might sound real basic, but would you not be better playing amost tight/ passive at these levels?
Knowing that these guys will call almost any bet, u would be better pushing with the nuts, cause they will call.
By the way, the hand I quoted is probably not the best example for a few reasons - the guy got his cash in so good it was untrue, so IMO, nothing u can do about it.
Also, instead of trying to push ppl out of pots with your QQ 10 x bb raise pre flop, that seems to act like a pot sweetner for most players at this level who hold any ace in their hand, would you not be better with a standard 4 x bb raise. If A/ K flops and someone bets, u r probably behind. If u r checked to, u then raise and they are likely to fold.
The time when u hit your set and they catch their Ace, u have all of their money!!!
I suppose I`m saying keep it simple and basic, nothing clever
