Would it be possible to be a winning player if...

...you never called re-raises without AK, or pairs w/ implied odds pre-flop; You never called a reraise preflop without at least top-two pair or pot-odds to draw to the nuts?

Do you think at Micro-stakes this could still be profitable?

[AmonRaa]

Yes, up to NL25.

lol it is gonna b tough to call a reraise preflop with 2 pair or better lol.

but yea that is prolly tru. i think u could prolly beat nl 25 or 4 or 5 bb/100.

the draw back is that u will NEVER get better thus u r kinda stuck at nl25 (might b able to get away with this at nl50 if u have good table selection i guess)

in general u wont make enough doin this to make it worth giving up not getting better. so dont waste ur time. just work and getting better so u can make all the monies /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Raises are one thing; reraises are quite another. If you really mean reraises, then at full ring, this sounds like very, very sound strategy. It is certainly a winning strategy at this level. It's not at all far from the way I play. You might be amazed at how much money such a strategy can SAVE you.

Like everything in NL there are a lot of "depends". I often lay down good hands to pre-flop re-raises if it's a short-stacker doing the re-raising because I can't win much from him if I flop a monster and I don't want to invest too much. Also, since I always re-buy and therefore cover the short-stacker I can just wait for a better spot to get my money back alongside with the rest of his stack.

Then again, I often call pre-flop re-raises of short-stackers if I have a read that they play terrible.

Against full stacks I started with the strategy you described and am now gradually expanding my ranges based on rising confidence in my hand-reading.

Edit: 6-max. I play much closer to your strategy full ring.

Sure, you would get bored to death and not make an big profit ... but profit, sure ... especially fullring .. and the limit for making a profit as a huge nit is not 25NL, more like 200NL

I pretty much uses this stragegy until someone shows me they can 3bet with less that JJ.

Also at nl25 so many people 3bet from $1 to $2.25 or something stupid like that, i call almost all of these.

At 25NL, I think this is probably the preferred strategy. Yes, there are exceptions to the rules, but in general following these rules will save a beginning (i.e. NL25) player a lot of money. Rather than force you to make less money, I think these (let's call them) guidelines will help beginning NL players make more money.
