 My NLHE problem, James Brooke, 19. Sep 2003 06:33 | ||
| View ( Message | Thread ) | Return to Thread List | |
| I have a problem with NLHE - i seem to be able to play fine when the table is 10-handed, and just not as well when it is 3-7 handed. As a result, my performance in big tournies is good and i can usually make the money, but i am getting really frustrated playing sit'n gos. I play tight until we are down to 5 players - fine. Then i have about 1500 chips (what i started with) and the blinds are 100/200. I play aggressively here (one thing i think about is that the people i play with regularly notice a big shift in my gears here... can i make it more gradual) raising if i have to big cards, pair 7 or higher, and any ace (though i seem to lose a lot with A2, A3, A4 etc). If the raise of 3xBB is more going to be more than half my stack, i'll just go all in. The problem is, i really seem to have to wait ages for these hands and when i get them someone always seems to call and beat me. Is this normal??? Also, if someone has already limped in (say 5-handed), should i adjust my hand requirements - bearing in mind, that with the blinds so high 1 mistake and i'm out. Also, should i ever limp myself? And finally, at what point should i stop waiting and go all-in with K- or Q- high? When my stack is 2x the total blinds... 3x? Thanks in advance | ||

| I play mostly Limit 1/2 2/4 games but sometimes I do play NL sitNgo's. I found that playing tight in the beginning is a good strategy and loosen up later in session. POSITION IS KEY IN NL, more so when the table has less players. You can limp in with marginal hands from late position. You dont always have to raise preflop. I do rather well sticking to this strategy. Real tight/aggressive in the beginning. Loosen up a little and try to see flops at a cheap price. | ||
