STTF SNG->cash thread

[DevinLake]

I don't use a tonne of stats either, but one I use consistently is calls c-bet. I should add calls turn bet (if that's an option).

Basically your preflop play should be with thoughts to how the hand will play post flop.

So, if the villain is someone that limp calls a lot preflop but gives up on a lot of flops, than I isolate very liberally and fire a lot a c-bets.

If the villain just won't give up on hands post flop, I'm much more selective with the hands I isolate with. I want to be doing it with hands I feel comfortable trying to get three streets of value out of when I hit TP. Or hands that have big hand potential like SCs.

Also, it depends on they type of loose player they are. I'll isolate differently with a 40/15 then I will with a 30/5. This is because the 30/5 is much more likely to limp call with big As and other hands that the 40/15 will be raising with. So, if you isolate the 30/5 with ATo and get action on a Ahigh flop, you're not sure where you are at and attempting to get three streets of value may be just spewing.

is cash more profitable than sngs ?

[DevinLake]

Hard to say. I make more now playing cash than I ever did play sngs. But, I'm like 10x better now than when I played sngs.

ya , i used to be killing 25nl and now a downswing has occured and everything just seems boring and a bunch of weak tight pussies just ruins all the fun for me. The variance sucks.

What about small pairs like 22 --> 66 are you isolating or limping along against this type of villain?

from personal experience i think so. without putting a huge effort into either, im now easily making more at cash. and ive found less variance in cash (or maybe i just sucked at sngs)

Good table often turn into weak tight tables at 25NL, that's when I move to another table.

Seriously I don't sit down at a table unless it's 30%+ seeing a flop at 25nl.

[DevinLake]

no stats on this guy. General read is that he's been a little loose passive.

So, b/f, c/c, c/f? Factors that influence ur decision?
