 Pro`s and con`s on supertight strategy, cantfoldem, 28. Aug 2003 22:09 | ||

| Pro`s and cons of a supertight strategy online low limit hold`em. I`m talking playing only group one and two. Group 1-AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AKs, Group 2-TT,AQs,AJs,KQs,AK Raise and re-raise pre-flop with group one ,and some group two depending on situation. If its been 2 bet already then slow down on some group two holdings possibly fold or just limp. Play some smaller pairs and suited connecters maybe AXs in late position if there's no raise. SB play only group one for a raise and group 2 if no raise BB play only group one and two for a raise and some middle pairs also, if its not 2 and 3 bet to you. On flop bet and raise if you hit and flop is not to dangerous like 3 suited and not your suit at all or a pair and heavy action you may have to fold unless you have reasonable outs and the right odds. After the flop play will vary depending on the many variables that come up like your image other players images what you may know about there play etc. Post flop play is very critical to make this supertight strategy profitable but a little looser after the flop in general but not crazy, just aggressive. I havn`t been playing long, so i`m not sure how well this works. At times it does very well but sometimes it seems not to. If anyone else has tried this type of strategy please let me no what you think. | ||

| I'm new at this game, but wouldn't that shortly become obvious to the rest of the table? | ||

| I think that when you're first trying to learn the game, that type of approach will help you to understand the game better, and it should also help you to stay focused, and to use that time as a learning process. When you then start to get a better feel for the game, you'll still want to play a solid game,don't get me wrong, but......you'll then start to incooperate a more "feel for the game" type approach, while then trying to get good reads over your opponents as well. There isn't a book out there that can teach you "how to be you", so "that" you'll need to develop for yourself. But it IS something that is needed.....absolutely. When I first started to play hold-em,(many moons ago), I was rigid myself......."only play good good cards", and didn't mix it up enough either....bla, bla, bla!! BUT........that also kept me in line and most importantly.....it taught me really good habits. Yeah, the others probably stole a few more pots from me here and there....but in the beginning you want to start out playing the correct cards first (maybe a little bit more "by the book").....and then everything else will fall into place much easier and with a better and more clearer understanding as well. I don't think today anyone would clasisify my play as being too "rockish" !! (LOL). You have to know "why" you will be making the moves that you make, and "why" playing the player is so important, but that can take some time (a little experience first, feel comfortable in the game, and then little by little add the other important stuff too). The two deinitely go hand in hand, as both factors are very important to profiting in poker........but I do think the foundation that he was talking about is a damn good way to start out, I really do. His starting requirements are solid, he'll just need to get a feel for it all. And in all honesty....if you're playing on-line and in really low limits.....(shit even the higher limits) most of those players don't even realize that you haven't played a hand in a half hour and they'll *still* pay you off regardless! 4P- | ||

| You would think that people would catch on, and if you are playing in a B&M they might. But if you are playing online I find that most people will not figure that out. Maybe it's because the turnover is greater in on-line tables. Maybe people are just too busy surfing the web or playing other tables. | ||

| but in low limits up to 8/16 limit HE. People play so bad that only 3 or so players will realize you are a rock and that is good. The rest won't know you're a rock and will give you action anyways. I'd stay away from small pairs as those increase your swings too much. Some astute guys may try to put plays on you, bluff when a scare card comes and or checkraise you on the turn. Just know who they are and you'll be fine. When I started out this way and to this day I will still play like that. You won't have any huge days but I've had 20+ straight days of winning $150-300 playing this way. Don't go for the big score as this style is not conducive to that. Just be ready to release your hand if you get any obvious action as saving money is the name of the game. On the internet it's also a good strategy except I play more small pairs on the net as I do flop way more sets online. GL | ||

| Wondering how many hands you threw away? But if it is working for you money wise then congratulations. Playing rockish may not entirely be so bad in a full ring limit tho. There's alot to be said for it in that situation, because your not experiencing the deviation of a more aggressive approach. As for me if I sit at a table that no one is really to play me, I get up, and find another table. Playing that style for me is that I just could never find enuff good cards to win money from the rake and blind structure, and the occasional hands I went in on and lost because the flop didn't look appealing. | ||

| If your ability to play well after the flop is not good, then playing tight will be not put you in positions where you hold a marginal hand and may get outplayed. The better you play after the flop the more you can loosen up your starting requirements. If you are unsure about your ability....Start out tight and work your way looser from there....If you play y very tight an occasional hard gear change for short periods until your opponents catch on can be very effective if the texture of the game is such that your opponents will fold.
