Default Re: Tighty-whitey\'s downward spiral.

Mix it up a little. Find a nice loose passive table. Play post-flop. Is it REALLY that hard to get away from a hand when you're beat?

If you're sitting under 10 VPIP it really isn't any wonder you don't get much action. You raise me I'm out. But I'll see a flop with you, cause if you're too aggressive I'm gone. If you keep it cheap enough to play I'm gone when I miss. If I hit, I'm wrecking your one hand in 2 orbits. But you're not profitable to play against so generally I (and the rest of the table) won't bother.

Play some cheap draws, show down that one gapper when it misses and you can check behind. C-Bet air occasionally. Play small pairs for set value, hit a few sc's.

It isn't uber-tight that wins down here. You just need to be a 'little' tighter than your opponents. So when they call you with A7 you just happen to have A9. Different story at high limits or at a table where everything is 3-bet preflop.

If 3BB to see a flop feels so expensive you can't take it, move down a level. A little 6-max might get you comfortable playing more hands.

Or just open up 24-tables and nut-peddle to your hearts content. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
