aces_dad,

Triple barrel bluffs are generally -EV at ssnl. They are more profitable in position, because you get more information about villain's hand strength before bluffing. I have literally never pulled a 3-barrel bluff out of position. Floating should only be done with a good read. It works best against tight and predictable players, but your table image also needs to be good because even tight players will get fed up and call you down otherwise.

A_Plus,

I'd rather not share my winrate. But I'll say that I'm a winner at all levels I've played, and for some reason, NL50 is my least profitable level.

I have no idea why you like K9s. Atleast it can make a straight, and it's sooooted. I play it often in the CO or BTN first in, but I usually limp with it after limpers.

Cormia,

I prefer small PPs to Axs utg. But I'll limp them both at passive full ring tables. I'll generally limp or raise small PPs utg at 6-max, and fold Axs when x is small.

Jack,

Depends on the player. Most 100nl players don't play draws this way, so I expect to be behind or splitting most of the time. I would usually fold (without a read). AA is a closer call because people will play KK and AQ this way. I would be more included to fold at nl50.

rock,

You should do fine starting out at 6-max.

Noah,

Haha. Yes, sometimes. But it bugs me more when people say that engineering or physics is mathematical.

Isura · #77 03-26-2006, 11:53 AM

jii,

I punish them a lot. Atleast 50% of the time against most players.

4_2,

I have only folded KK once, and it was at nl200 against a rock. My reraising range can be fairly light, and people play back at me preflop a lot more than most people. So I basically never even fold QQ preflop..

True - Gordon's book is very solid.

Probably true - But I bluff a lot more than most players here...

About UB, I think so. I don't play on a lot of sites.

Ok, here's one:

Lets say you're OOP with high pair (AA-JJ) and you were the last to raise PF.

The flop shows a pair, say 77T.
You c-bet your standard 2/3PSB and villain min-raises.

What do you do against passive villians?
What do you do against aggressive villians?

One more:

Can you give some examples of when you should bet/3bet and contrasting examples of when you should check-raise?
