Default Re: DERB

My turn to chime in....I watched a couple hundred of his hands....Granted only those hands that go to showdown....But this is how he seems to do it -- and this is based purely nonempirical data....He is hyperagressive preflop, ie 3 betting with hands like KTs and A6s...He value bets like crazy....He slows down on the river when he may be beat....No one is willing to be aggressive against him (probably because (i) he is so aggressive preflop, and (ii) he is so aggressive postflop and is completely fearless to 3 bet a draw or an average made hand)...And, most importantly I think (and this is similar to the value bet concept), because of his looseness, nobody folds to him even when they are clearly beat. It is very easy to see how he just destroys weaktights. I firmly believe he takes advantage of the fact that most 3060ers are thoughtful players in that they know enough to know hes a little crazy -- in other words, I don't think his play would be nearly as successful at the lower limits.
