When I first started playing poker, I strictly followed the instructions in Dan Harrington's book on tournament poker. Over time, based on my experience, the limits played, the known information about the players, I began to adapt my playing style to the above factors.

My opinion is that each of us should develop a certain style of play:)

If you play by the book everyone knows your plays! At least the ones that read the book!

If I have my own style, then I wish to eradicate it. I strive to play in the 'cleanest', most accurate way possible.

There is no formula to play poker, there are rules, so that you, in the long run, will be profitable. Now if you don't follow these rules and you have a looser style of play and manage to be profitable, then continue with your style and be happy.:)

If I spot ABC players I label them fish, easy to read.

Have to be able to mix it up. Nothing wrong with a game plan, as long as there is a backup.

There is nothing wrong with ABC poker but it is important to adapt your style to certain situations and players.

I think I also have my own style. My style is based on the fact that I just don't play with junk, and I always try to stay patient. :)
