Can you share any unique or unconventional strategies you've employed at the poker table that deviate from traditional approaches? How did these 'special strategies' work out for you, and in what situations do you find them most effective?

this sounds like an interesting question. I guess if there is a "special strategy" then there might be huge drawbacks. The only "special" thing that I could think of, is abusing bad players by taking advantage of their errors... But that's common sense and no deviation I guess :)

If Liam Neeson played, I think his special sort of skills would be exploitive play.

If the villans fold too much to steals -he would steal, if they fold too much to cbets- he would cbet, if the villans steal too much- he would 3bet more, etc, etc, etc.

Special strategies are exploit strategies---we want to know if our opponents have specific weaknesses and then attack those weaknesses--VS a player that never folds we make huge bets- If we are being called often we can open AA to 10bb for instance or we can raise an open to half our stack and shove flops that are good for us and vs several players we can just over limp all our high equity hands and then hit and make huge bets then

My strategy is quite conservative. I just wait patiently for good, strong cards and don't play with junk :)
This is the only strategy that, in my opinion, can bring a consistently good result and not spoil the nerves :)

I've seen that some people used to go all in every time they get an A and doesn't matter which is the other card, sometimes they win sometimes they lose, so I don't think that's a good strategy, my personal strategy is to be patient and get all in only if I'm 80% or more sure that I have the winning hand
