priceless gem

[mvdgaag]

This is a gem if you play a sound tight game most of the time but use in situations where you think your opponent might have been stealing or making plays with marginal hands or will give up easilly.
With position you can use this line against any typical not very tight but passive vilain we find a lot at uNL (ok, it's partypoker)...

Call flop with anything, check behind on turn and bet river if checked into....

Doesn't sound very special, does it? It works like a charm though. Many opponents will cbet or donkbet any flop and give up on the turn if they were called, especially when they are in late position (because they've read they can play all kinds of crap from LP)... Almost never will they call the river if they check it to you.
Even I am amazed how often they'll give up when I take this line. I'll post some statistics when I find out how to properly filter this in PO... Maybe I just need to get PT [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

I use this all the time. I doubt it works as well at the higher stakes and you have to pick your spots but it can be very effective

Betting the turn is better. Doesn't give them two cards for them to catch something worth calling you with.

Floating is sweet -- but pick your spots well. I like to have nice bd draws and the like -- so I can chk behind turn if I think I might stack someone who was going for a cr. If the bd flush, for example, doesn't come in, then I can bet the turn and take it down often. If it does, I can bet or chose to see the river -- or call a second barrel.

I feel they'll often check the turn and bet the river with a marginal holding. By waiting for the river check I know I can safely get them to fold very often and won't have to put in my bet at the turn when I don't know yet and they might still be drawing... When scarecards come in I often bet the turn though, representing a made draw...

I'd like to properly filter some data when I have enough good data (got plenty, but since I feel I've been improving it's full of old bad stuff) and get poker office to filter properly [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. Anyone has some good analysis of this done?

This is the exact line i use for value occusionally.
