Fire 2nd barrels.


[/ QUOTE ]


firing 2nd barrels is only good if you know when you should be firing 2nd barrels. not firing many second barrels if you're not sure when to fire second barrels will not cost one much money. and furthermore, firing second barrels if you know when to fire second barrels, will only cost you money if you're not sure what rivers to fire 3rd barrels on

i had trouble moving up at first to....on ftp. But tbh, the 2/4 game on ftp is incredibly soft. And no you dont have to play a more aggressive style to be successful at 2/4. I switch between 17/14/4 to 20/17/4 and have been pretty successful. As for firing second barrels - firing second barrels does in no way commit urself to the pot. If u ran that well at 1/2 u should have no problem at 2/4.

Don't feel like you have to change your game when you move up stakes - it looks like you're just running bad (Altho i dont like 22/14/2 style at all fwiw)

DaCooler,

Coming from another Absolute regular, when I played with you, you were too predictable imo. A little too tight, a little too passive. Granted, I haven't played with you in awhile.

Also, at the 2/4 games, most of the money isn't made from the other regs, its from crushing the loose passives, maniacs and fish. If you can beat them and avoid marginal confrontations with the regs, you should be fine.

that is helpful, i just play on absolute and the games get slow at 2/4 sometimes and there are a lot of regs, but this is the 3rd time now that ive "run bad trying to move up" i guess im wondering when im going to run good FFS

Raise a wider range. Fire two barrels more. The reason I probably think you are predictable is because I've read some of your posts and have a pretty good idea of what your range is in certain situations.

Also, the trick with 2/4+ is table selection, table selection, table selection. I'll often find myself at tables where its 2 lag/tags, two nit/rocks, myself and one like 32/8 and realize what a waste of my time sitting there is.
