Default Re: How to play FR against Stars nits?

To let them into pot means play incorrectly

Firstly, this statement depends on your skill level. If you can't get away from AA post-flop, then by all means raise it every time and thin the field.

But if I raise - those 4 happily fold. For example, it normal on Stars to make c-bets when you have 4 opponents on the flop - very likely to fold

Secondly, so what do you want them to do? If you complain about them folding to your p/f raises or c-bets too much, well then, how do you best counter that? Answer: you don't always do either.

Thirdly, understand my responses. Do you honestly think that I don't understand that limping AA p/f can be dangerous? I'm basically telling you to mix up your play. Most of the time, raise your pairs pre-flop, a lot of the time c-bet, just don't do it all the time.

You seem to have an all or nothing type mentality. Either always raise AA or always limp it. Always c-bet or always don't. When you mix up your play, you take the word 'always' out of your vocabulary. Never in my response do I say, "start limping all your big pocket pairs pre-flop."

There's a lot of smart people that post on this board. I'm not saying I'm one of them, but I can beat Stars micro-limits. And yes, I do play Stars.

Pick up the book No Limit Hold Em: Theory and Practice by Sklansky. Read it several times. You won't be sorry.
