Default Re: The final truth about down swings.

[ QUOTE ]
I seriously do not believe in downswings. At least, not in no-limit hold'em. You don't need the best cards to win if you know how to play. You can take many pots down with 3-2 if your timing and reads are expert.

overaggro

yes its true, you can overbet constantly and steal pots but THAT is not winning strategy and you wont be a long run winner and you will have even worse variance. deciding to play 3-2 preflop KNOWING the only way to win is to ferociously pursue getting opponent to fold has nothing to do with reads, its just hoping he doesnt have the nuts or close....but it wont work for very long. this wont get you out of a downswing.
