Re: If everyone plays super tight, no one can win.
what he says is true---if there was such a table---if everyone played the same way then we wouldnt make any money---good players dont play poker to play with other good players (general though)---we play to play with fish and they dont know how to play..

I mean after someone opens for a raise, you only play AA-QQ, AK. Youll open yourself with more hands,when you open, you have the vig of taking out the blinds. And theres some post flop play, but its not that complicated. Far less complicated than most of you believe. [/ QUOTE ] Ok guys it's done, poker's been solved. Shut down the forums, it's essentially tic tac toe now.

Re: If everyone plays super tight, no one can win.
I am going to take this seriously, and I am going to tell you a story.
I play a NL cash game every week with the same players. There is a guy I will call 'Dave', because his name is Dave. He plays those exact hands with the inclusion of JJ. He always raises 5xBB. One would expect that everyone would fold, knowing what he has. The exact opposite happens, almost everyone calls when he opens a pot in early position. The problem with being super tight against observant opponents is that they know you almost have to back those hands with your whole stack if you are going to make a profit. With 100BB stacks it is profitable to play for a low set or a junky two pair because you have great implied odds. In a year of playing Dave never won. In his eyes he was the victim of horrible suckout after horrible suckout. In reality he was so transparent that he was giving his opponent's 20 to 1 on their preflop call.

Re: If everyone plays super tight, no one can win.

[ QUOTE ] I disagree with that idea of AA, KK, QQ, and AK making you a winner. If you follow that, you're playing approx. 2.55% of hands dealt to you (about 1 in 40), and paying blinds for 15% of hands dealt to you(1bb + 1/2sb). Even if your opponents DON'T know what you're doing, they'll be able to tell that you're incredibly tight, and either fold preflop, quickly preventing you from getting your +6bb to cover your expenses (1.5bb/round, 4rounds/hand played), or else clean you out when they decide to take a flop and hit it better than you (set, straight, flush, twopair, or even just a pair against your AK that misses). Therefore, I conclude that poker is not "bs." Perhaps you didn't think about your comment thouroughly before wasting thread space. As for your heading "if everyone plays tight, no one can win," that's true. If everyone at the table plays as tight as you've suggested, most of the time, the blinds will just rotate until somebody picks up a good hand. However, a loose aggressive opponent (or even somebody who doesn't know how to play poker, but was instructed to raise preflop every hand, and fold to resistance) would rake in the winnings. The fact is, your suggestion is TOO tight to be correct. [/ QUOTE ] Good point, welcome to the forum. [/ QUOTE ] Awww... thanx. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
