Hello Dominiq,
It is true. But in my short practice I saw when such a maniac made a really huge stack with pure luck. We started at 1.5 at the very beginning of a tournament, and at the bubble his stack raised up to 100K, while mine was around 10K with tight-aggressive strategy Whe we were at the same table, he got luck for 5 times subsequently.
What to think about all poker books in that case?
Pardon me for my mistakes, I am from Ukraine.
I think that pre-flop you need to make a raise that would have less players.pair even if it is small and still a couple.the enemy can do nothing to be.there is also a chance to catch Seth.if you play aggressive pre-flop the small couple better pass
If I have 22-66 pairs, I usually raise on middle and last positions, and never fold this pairs, even after I see reraise.
First thing to say is that I am a new player to the game but I think i have a grip on a few things.. With small PPs I don't like the idea of limping.. I always like to tell the table that I have something.. The general 2 to 2.5 bb raise seems good for me..Then when someone raises me preflop I have a margin to call and see the flop. But it also depends on the players around me.How does everyone play small pocket pairs? To provide context I play live 1/2NL.
I like to limp with small pocket pairs looking to set mine. I don't like the idea of raising because it's rare to hit a set and if I do raise I don't want to see a re-raise making it pricier to see a flop.
Now having said this, I'm noticing that the strong/profitable players raise with small pocket pairs when there is no raise in front of them. Can anyone provide any insight? I'm assuming it's to balance out their range but even so I would think limping with small pocket pairs is better in the long run. But clearly I'm missing something here...
Hello. I like to limp with them. Sometimes I will put in a small raise (maybe 3BB's or so) if I have position and/or I playing at a tight table. Take careHow does everyone play small pocket pairs? To provide context I play live 1/2NL.
