Excellent thread. I'm still struggling with draws and position.

The easiest way for me to play them is passive OOP and aggressive in position, but I don't know if this is the most EV.

Say you raised TJs preflop and flop an OESD. How are you playing this in position vs OOP with 2 callers? How many streets are you willing to bet when you miss your draw?

This post has helped my game more than any other single post.

Tien,

as the others have said already, great post. One question though, what spread of suited connectors are you playing?

cheers

If my opponents are known to checkraise I may check here.

But I will bet 2/3 to 3/4 pot most of the time in position. If an opponent calls, I will put him on a hand. If I think I can make him fold with another bet I will make another bet. If his range of hands matches the board and he wont fold than taking a free card is ok too.

At small stakes, semi bluffing too much is -EV. But continue to be aggressive, don't have the "but they never fold" BS mentality keep you from being aggressive.

I raise every single suited connector from 23s to AKs. That includes suited gapers 46s 10Qsand in position I'll raise 2 suited gapers 47s, J8s, etc etc. If I feel like raising more I'll raise ANY TWO suited cards in position.

You know you are owning them with raises when they say "you raise with that trash?" after they ship a whole stack your way.

Tien,

really really great post here. Absolutely perfect reading for these guys.

Just a few quick things:

1) I played with you a reasonable amout at 200NL (skater87) and got the impression that you weren't a particularly good player [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

LOL

2) When you raise pf with a small PP and you get rr for a PSR, most the time you don't have set odds to continue

3) that 62s vs AA hand: that river minraise is GROSS dude!

1)I'm looking through my 100 000 hand database at 200 nl at full tilt and I don't see you. Must have played on stars which I played there like 4-5 months ago. Lots of things have happened since then. And what is your sample size of me on stars? I had a couple of monstrous tilt sessions back on stars which made me leave the site.

2) You raise 8$ preflop and get reraised 22 (which is the normal amount on fulltilt), its 14 more to call, villain has 178 left behind, 178:14, I have the odds to call.

3)I hardly ever miniraise, against that specific opponent which I have played thousands of hands against, I think the miniraise was ok. Put him on AK because his turn bet was quite weak. River I did not put him on AA at all since he didn't reraise me preflop so I felt he wouldnt call a raise bigger than a miniraise.
