How to choose the style of play?

Do you need to choose one style of play and hold tight it?

It depends on the person's personality.

Style of play?

Style of play can change with the cards you get dealt… if you are running hot… play aggressive… if you are running cold…. Gear down and exercise more patience. Keep playing your fundamental style… just depends what gear you want to ride in.

I believe the style of play is very volatile and changes as you understand the person's personality. Each person will have a specific game and it's up to us to understand and process this in the best way to shape ourselves into that.

Tight aggressive is the way to go IF you know nothing about your opponents.

However, how you actually play at a given table depends on the players.

You need to be able to adjust depending on opponents.

 

[BetterThanAvgButNotByMuch]

I just believe folks have to know the fundamentals first then you move on to a style.

But you should be able to play both as a tight and a loose player like flipping on a switch as they say by how the table plays especially if you're playing cash games or by the blind structure or in what stage of a tournament you're in.

Its easy for a person that doesn't know starting hands to play "loose". And hard for a tight player to play loose that doesn't pay attention to how your opponents plays so you have a clue where you are in a hand but studying and experience will help.

But it doesn't matter if you're actually NOT trying to get good and regardless of style, the only thing that matters is that ROI. Whatever works for you is the only thing that matters and you can do it consistently over time. That's it. TAG, LAG, whatever. As long as you can make money then go for it but if you're not doing so well then I would pay attention to the fundamentals.

I think that it is not right to single out any one style of play, it is necessary to combine them harmoniously.

If you stay with one type of play yo will find yourself wondering why players fold when you need them to call.

If you are very beginer, I recommend you play very tight and very agressive. Because you will play with hands more confortable and the agressivity is a very useful tool because is ever very tough to play against agressive players even when they are beginners.

 

[mervin88]

yes, for your opening strategy, but as you reads on your opp you adjust accordingly

In poker most decisions are dependent on situations, preselected playing styles may prevent you from adapting to opponent's weakness and unable to make the most profitable plays.

 

[YuriDitz]

I usually tailor my style of play to my opponents: play aggressively against passive ones and vice versa.

 

[Matt_Burns88]

Learning a strong fundamental game is imperative, but as you become more experienced and skilled, you should be adjusting to take advantage of your opponents errors in order to be the most profitable that you can be and that means playing a range of styles all the time depending on who you are in a hand with.

 

[Luvepoker]

Not sure I would pick a style. The reason is your style should depend on the players you are against. At an given time you can be tight or lose, passive or aggressive or something in between.

 

[Luvart]

Find a style of play that you are comfortable to play with.

Experiment a bit and see what works for you.

the best style will always be "tight aggressive". But you can switch as you gain experience.

There are multiple ways to win at poker. I prove this every time i get to the final table. I play fairly tight and will inevitable sit next to an aggro dude at the final table. Since we are both at the final table and have the same potential to win the thing, I have to assume that the style wasn't as important as the implementation of the style.

If we define a strategy, we need to be able to play it well to succeed. But poker is a game of adjustments. The more we understand about the entire game, the better our adjustments will be.

Good luck and God bless.

It depends on your table at the moment if you running cold you should have a passion if you running hot play every hand and aggressive sometimes when you play aggressive the game takes front and make you death so always be careful what you bluf this is how I play passion play is the hardest you always want to play when good hands comes but the game edge still against you it’s hard to know sometimes what you need to bet and play..
