What players in this forum give good advice?

Do you think you are a winner in the 1/2 6 max games these days?

How do you keep track of your image against regs while playing so many tables?

What type of note taking system do you use?

[/ QUOTE ]

1. umm that's a tough question. futuredoc, the_main, calleddownlight come to mind. there are a lot of other but those are just the guys that i thought of right away. of course cmar is v good as well. donktastic isn't the greatest because he plays so LAG for full ring that his advice isn't really applicable to a lot of players. he plays his style very well, his advice just won't work for players with a different image. although he did point out recently to put in your stats so he can adjust for that, so maybe i'm wrong there.

yes, of course. poker isn't that tough imo. i dislike the variance in 6 max though, and i find full ring to have much much easier decisions for me.

ya know, i was just wondering that. i have a photographic memory, so i think i can remember where on the table somebody has been playing hands with me. i have recently been playing very well agianst regs with history. i think it's just a talent of mine tbh.

i don't relaly take notes other than if i see donks who have disguised stats like a 20/9 who's just a total donk postflop.

I give good advice? Thanks. I will tell you that I do post better than I play which sucks. I do the same thing with remembering where players are sitting that play pots against me. Thats part of the reason that I tile instead of stack tables because I can just be like "oh seat 1 called 3 barrels with TPNK" or something of that sort. Also, eveytime bottomset 3bets me I just looks for a table where I have position on him and 3bet him the next time he opens at that table [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

The only questions that comes to mind right now are:

What spots and players are the best to look for when bluff raising?

When is it good to turn a hand with SD value into a bluff (i.e. I check the river and if he checks behind I'm probably winning, but when he vbets I'm probably [censored])? I think I pick the wrong spots because nitty regs show up with top pair hands a lot when I do this.

Best times and opponents to go for river checkraises (as bluffs or for value)?

Is it better to open fold or open limp 22-66 UTG and UTG+1 (if you wanted to balance a second action with raising)?

Favorite Casino in Vegas?

Any other gambling habits (even for lowstakes)?

"What spots and players are the best to look for when bluff raising?"

typically the tags with high steal percentages and high cbet %s. i do it in position and generally pick lower flops.

"When is it good to turn a hand with SD value into a bluff (i.e. I check the river and if he checks behind I'm probably winning, but when he vbets I'm probably [censored])? I think I pick the wrong spots because nitty regs show up with top pair hands a lot when I do this."

I really avoid bluffing there because I think many regs don't vbet enough, so when they bet river they usually have something they'll call the bluff with.

"Best times and opponents to go for river checkraises (as bluffs or for value)?"

best times are obviously when they're in no way committed to calling the raise...also guys with high river agg.

"Is it better to open fold or open limp 22-66 UTG and UTG+1 (if you wanted to balance a second action with raising)?"

open limp. players are passive enough that you get enough limps to make it worthwhile without having to call a raise.

"favorite casino in vegas?"

definitely the venetian. just a great poker room, well run.

"Any other gambling habits (even for lowstakes)? "

I don't play any casino games. I do little $5 or $10 prop bets with my friends all the time, especially when we go bowling.

what makes narena so good and what makes bigkawik so bad?

[nation]

bigkawik plays back at the absolute worst times, when it's obvious he's beat. he has no hand reading skills. is that you bigkawik??

narena has no fear of going to war repeatedly with regulars so it's difficult to continue to play pots with him as it makes for a high variance game...i hate that.

[TONZ]

no i am not bigkawik. I just thought it was interesting, because i'd actually rather play with narena than with bigkawik. No doubt narena is a good player, but bigkawik's erratic play sometimes makes me nervous. Other people who make me nervous are the guok, pupon, and raylapsley. Maybe im giving bigkawik too much credit?
