Sometimes I have a feeling that I am playing too Weak OOP. But I know that playing OOP can be one of the biggest leaks so I try to be conservative. But I do take every chance I get to punish limpers with an somehow decent/semi decent hand even OOP. I do that because quite often u can take down the pot without contest and I want my opponents to play back when I Finally make a good hand.

Earlier when I played on Party I never had to worry about getting opponents to playback when I had a big hand but some tables at FTP can be Nitty even at this low stake.



The other day I went thru Pokeys excellent post "how to use poker tracker"
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...rt=all&amp;vc=1 (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=4946669&amp;page=0&amp;fpart=all &amp;vc=1)

And I found out in 5. Playing HU when Im not the aggresator (OOP) that IM -0.13 so thats mabye also an indication that I need improvment OOP.

So I wonder if I should have made a bet on turn or is it ok with checking? villain was Vpip 43 so he was somehow loose but some hands earlier when I did same raise same position against him he folded so this time I gave him credit for having a hand.

I didnt feel like 3betting flop cause he could easilly call with something marginal and I would not know if im ahead or behind. I had the feeling that he was loose so I only decided to call.

Comments?
