At a cash table, which I'm generally not a fan of, I think everything should happen by reading your opponent.
I really don't like cash tables because I've found a lot of bingo players. When there is one of these, I only pay with pocket pairs, especially the monster pairs AA KK and JJ. With AK of the same suit you would also pay for the combination in your favor of 25% of the cards to make a move in the showdown.
I would also have to look at my stack, really see how I make a profit at the table. To be honest, if you're sweetly won, it's easier than if you're losing.
I don't really believe much in positions at the cash tables, you have players who open from any position with anything.
There are no words if you have a player at the table who totally believes it's his lucky day and is playing with you like a slot machine. You leave with the manual AK and it paid you with 24 and the flop came out 224 and to hell with your manual and your strategy.
What's more, look yesterday in an MTT a player opened with 2 BB with AA from UTG, the MP only paid him with JJ and since they only raised a miniraise, I humbly paid BB with my 45... and the flop came out 455 and without leaving on the other streets a J or an A the play ended. This is also how luck influences. Likewise, I still believe that strategy prevails, but often any strategy or good move is destroyed by the luck factor.
This is my humble contribution
