It didn't play because you spewed post flop.

I think Jerry is right (to a degree) and mjws00 makes some good points too. And of course I can see the value of what other people are saying too.
However its not so clear cut either way imo and therefore I'm somewhere in the middle. Well I am a TAGfish 21/12 or something. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] You should primarily raise for value in the micros. Raising for deception, image and balance are secondary considerations and sometimes even fall into being FPS. Yes, it will be neccesary against good thinking players but these are in short supply at micros and in any case these are not the players you are making money from. You are making your money from the passive calling station recreational players who have never heard of PT, Pahud, think nothing of stacking off OOP w TPGK in limped pots. They think nothing of your image, who is aggressive, who is not. They think about the value of their hand. Period. In micros, due to calling stations, general passivity, lack of FE, it is more likely that the best hand wins the pot than in higher limits. Therefore speculative hands are sometimes best played as cheaply as possible until they hit. Having said all that, I can't agree with Jerry thinking a pfr of 3% is ok. I mean do you limp QQ or what? You must be able to raise 10% of the time just for pure value. Get yourself to 28/8 (at least) Jerry and I'm sure you'll see an improvement. |

lol loose passive poker is bad poker, you miss out on so much theoretical value by not playing tight and raising hands that are clearly ahead of your opponents ranges. who cares if they all call and you miss a lot, you also hit a lot and own them if you play decently at all postflop.

dude kurto just gave you the laundry list of reasons why raise pf at 10nl doesn't work. why don't you believe him either? [/ QUOTE ] Actually, I'm not saying it doesn't work. But you would have to adjust to players. If players are calling too much, then raise larger amounts to compound their preflop mistakes. Also, you may be appropriately raising preflop but not adjusting postflop. If you raise and 4 people go to the flop with you, you have to adjust the value of your hand postflop. I am saying that LPP can work. I am NOT saying that Tight aggressive play does not work. Please note that I left it open to the possibility that your win raise is lower then it should be. I played $10 tables many eons ago and remember making 15bb/100. And I played like a nit. You haven't demonstrated that TAG doesn't work because you haven't played it. (its not reflected in the stats you've posted) Nor have you demonstrated your post flop skills. If you correctly raise preflop but make a lot of mistakes postflop, you're going to lose. Do I think one can win playing loose/passive preflop? Certainly. Does it maximize your potential? By no means... |
