Players who win the most tend to play straightforward. (Theory Post)

low limits straightfoward play wins...high limits you need to put more thought into the game...for some of the people who came up playing online, you should go out and play live and see what a world of difference it is.

Someone at 10/20 can be playing a ton of tables and playing 30/20 very profitably. To them, the majority of what they do and a lot of the marginal situations//basic moves are going to be "straightforward". Theres going to be a lot of "making plays" going into that straightforward play, though. Straightforward is relative.

What strategy do you think would win the most at Party NL200 6max?

When playing live are saying you should play more straight forward or less? Cuz any time I've played high stakes live (5/10 and 10/20) most of the table sucks monkey balls, and tight, extremely aggressive play is best, and its easy to make loads of cash cuz players HATE folding. You can only make a plays at 2 or 3 people at the table. But this is only from my Turning Stone and Casino Windsor experience.

When I've played live I've found that most players hate putting money in the pot (they are very risk averse). But there aren't many games bigger than 2/5 around here.

30/20 for the win

At Casino Windsor I would usually make it 200 to go (at 10/20) and would still get 2 or 3 callers(usually from the same 3 or 4 people) And if you had an overpair or TPTK you could get a decent chunk of their stack, assuming they caught a decent piece of the flop. Just don't bluff em.

When I had KK I reraised and made it 400 to go, got 2 callers, flop was rags, I bet 800, dude goes all in, I call and he flips up AK. Thanks for the $2,700 dude.(He said he put me on AK)

I also limp reraised with AA, some guy thought I was full of shi.t and went all in. He spiked his set of eights on the river though. But it was like they were trying to give their money away!

10 tables of 12/3/1 nit at NL200.

Full ring of course.


Actually lets not play poker. Lets just pay blinds and set mine people.

They have 10/20 NL at Windsor?? THe biggest game I've played there is the 5/10 uncapped.

Straightforward isnt easily defined as others have said. Contolled FPS is fine, but most FPS is induced by tilt I think.

Keeping tilting to a minimum by being much more tolerant to variance by being very well bankrolled goes a long way. I've been grinding the 400nl/600nl on party 6max for 6 months now so i cant speak for the higher limits but there definitely the vast majority of the pool play scared and are doubtless under-rolled. When you stack someone for 100bb they typically insta leave the table which says it all.
