Mostly My $1 $2 NL Strategy

[Blobweird123]

Oh I was talking about the OP lol from what I've seen u seem to be a pretty solid player

Oh ok lol. Because im down about 10 buyins on Carbon in cash games lol. I am terrrrrible at cash I guess. Played last night only because a friend just deposited for the first time and told him i'd try to take some money from him to hold onto . Halfway through the session I get AA and flop comes A29. I bet villain calls, Turn is 4, I bet villain calls. River is a 5, I bet, villain calls. He has 43 off in a 4bet pot pre lol!

Needless to say, im a sng/mtt player. But against thinking regs who arent stations I can usually play pretty well. Just cant outplay stations

I have the same problem with stations and I was beating 100NL at a nice clip before I withdrew my lock role I only beat regs

Hmm at the casino... it could work that shortstack strat... I always go full buy-in because I want to maximise the pot.If your tripling up shortstacked, your wasting so much equity and if your getting two players calling you with 80+80+80... 243 pot if no ones raised before u or dead money. hmmm you'll go all in 200 - 200 making it 403 heads up... I know what i'd prefer pot size and statistically Sure your better off getting it in preflop and less chance to get suckered esp if your post play is lacking. Whatever it takes to win though every poker player is different and if your seeing benefits who cares stick with it.
When I play live and if i'm actually spotted to being awfully tight... I get people on purpose calling me and trying to catch me even though they don't have the odds given.

You should be buying in for the max 200$. If that max is greater than 3% of your bankroll you should lower stakes and manage properly. Why wouldn't you want to have 200 in front of you when you pick up AA,KK, or find other good spots for value? Min buying causes you to lose value, It might keep your losses small but if you have confidence in your game and a bankroll to back it why not buy in max?

 

[bnasp2]

Its all non-sense. Waiting for AA,KK and then tripple-up? Show me any online room where you get 2 all-in calls preflop often? Maybe you were lucky 2-3 times, but I now you wont get lucky next 4-5 times. Plus even monsters get cracked. In 3-way pot, even with AA you have like 30% to loose.

He's the player I take notes on at the table that are like "remember to exploit this player constantly"

That's the thing - this strategy is so transparent it isn't even necessary to take notes.

I mean mental notes

Well you know what I'm saying - even the "mental notes" on this requires zero to little effort and about 3kb of memory

No expert myself but same level i prefer...Just from watching my hud alone im not calling you if that the hands you are playing your vpip would be down around 4 percent unless you were fortunate enough to pick up early but nice when that happens but certanly not a way to make money consistenty more often than not if ur waiting for aa kk ss , one youll get blinded into oblivion or run into a misfortune of getting sucked out on cause you dont have a significant stack to back up you bet.

Good point. Nobody at 200NL will respect a 10 dollar all in lol. You need to get aces or kings early EVERY SESSION for your strategy to work. That obviously doesn't always happen. It's not very helpful if u pick up aces with 1 BB left on table

Here's one big flaw in that strategy (there is more than one) - just about everyone at the table knows what you are doing as soon as you sit down. You don't have to play a single hand and everyone has a good and accurate read on you. What kind of advantage do you think that gives you? I love to see guys like you sit down - I expend no time or energy figuring you out.

I never said i didnt play a hand. now your taking words out of my mouth...
I said i grind it out. playing the top 20 percentile. and also switching up every 5 or 6 times in a pot.

If i do get aces or kings i then go all in (if the situation is right)

 

[twiztedtony]

Just to add a little bit more of information too...
this isnt a online strategy i use.
I use it only at the casino (Dont even like doing it in charity events). I haven't been using this strategy lately because ive been doing alot of Tournaments.

Read it one more time please - I didn't say you don't play a hand, I said you DON'T HAVE TO play a hand and your game strategy is revealed when you sit down short stacked. In other words anyone who sits down with a complete stack you would have to watch them play several hands to get an idea of their strategy - with you, not so much.

Do you even try to play from BB and there are only limpers ? or at least limp from SB. Waiting for AA or KK must be very boring lol. Good luck anyway !

 

[jsh169]

This strategy can work at some tables, the problem you will run into is that eventually people will know you and know how you play. Also semi competent players can easily catch on to this. You should buy in for maximum if you can afford it, because you should feel you will make less mistakes then your opponents, and thus giving you your biggest edge. Poker would be awfully boring playing like this.

 

[twiztedtony]

Yeah it's been a pretty solid strategy. I obviously opened my range a little and got solid results. It's a very easy day at the casinos.
