| In conjunction with my post "proftting from tilt," I was wondering if anyone could offer some ideas, as a starter, on "typical" tilt profiles--basically behavior patterns to look for to aid in reading what the tilt player is typically doing. Here's my starting list: 1) Tilters going all-in pre-flop. This one is not that hard to figure out even if no one has yet called down the all-in. Frequency of the all-in should provide a reasonable guideline. Suggested strategy: Call the all-in when your hand is significantly better than the tilto's average starter (in calculating the odds here, it's going to be one-on-one, so one needs to bear in mind that 22 will beat AK most of the time--although I'd really like to have at least 88 to play on this one, possibly better if the pre-flop all-ins are happening less than 10% of the time) 2) Tilters who play after cards are shown (perhaps one can call them for short "drawing tilters"). This is the category that needs some clarification--for me, anyway. If there seems to be method in the madness, my preliminary observations suggest that they might typically be automatically going all-in whenever they hit 2 pair or better and that they like to see almost every flop. 2) | ||

| As addendum to the above, the question also arises as to the typical responses of the non-tilt players, whose games are definitely going to change against an overbearing tilto. Two strategies are fairly readily identifiable: 1) tightening up to the extreme. This is easy to see and has obvious consequences: Fold almost anything when the super-tight player does decide to stick around. On the bright side, this player isn't going to be around very often. 2) playing too loose. Here, I'm thinking one should stick with pretty tight play as long as the tilt player is in the hand. My observation from last night is that the best way to provoke the tilt player into an all-in was actually to bet the minimum. So that might be a good idea when one is sitting on a hand when one can beat his all-in. If the tilt player is out of the hand, the loose players are going to be disappointed: Their whole strategy was to draw a hand in order to take the tilto's bankroll. Hence, depending on position, holdings, flop, betting, etc., it might present more frequent opportunities to buy pots fairly easily. But caution will definitely be required, since the loose non-tilt players really could have just about anything. But, since they've missed their real goal, I don't think one should have to worry nearly as much about having someone play back at you unless the opponent really does already have a made strong hand. They're really more interested in the next hand than they are in this one now that the tilt player is gone. I would think one could basically expect them to play pretty much "normally" there in light of their (rather unpredictable) holdings--nothing fancy and probably a bit on the passive side. Then again, they might also be aggravated at not having gotten the tilt player in and prone to take out their frustrations on someone else. Maybe it's better to just stick with fairly tight play with the awareness that your holdings are probably higher than theirs. | ||
