Try it out, and it has to be that much to be effective. 5-6 times on all pocket pairs 7's- A's, but what you want to track is how often the 7's - 10's win. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised - but you have to play smart the rest of the time too.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226640652091292377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-57311529559263763942010-03-05T17:22:59.343-05:002010-03-05T17:22:59.343-05:00hehehehehe.

F...hehehehehe. I guess I must make a comment now. <br /><br />First off, I like your reasoning a lot. I think the percent of the time that you take down a pot uncontested is pretty high so that adds a mark in your column. You seem like a pretty cognizant player so I'm sure if you were getting called by a shit ton of players preflop that you would stop doing what your doing and readjust given your trial ideas. <br /><br />I like to consider myself pretty tight, aggressive too, but I feel I am STILL not sold on 5-6x. Somewhat sold though. I may justify my opinion on case studies (being myself), but I feel that 5-6x the bb is overdoing it. The percent of time that a JQKA hits is really high on the flop, which obviously hits most peoples range when they call your BIG MOMMA 5 to 6x bb raise. Again, you're gonna get another chunk of people who fold to your bet on the flop, which is great, but the times where I get cold called with 2+ overs is where you can lose big. I'm all about outplaying my opponents post flop, which I am sure you are too, but I just can't get myself to bet that much on a speculative hand.<br /><br />Love yo posts. =)<br /><br />-College BoyOEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585402213246473844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-11171308773765466372010-03-05T13:22:03.393-05:002010-03-05T13:22:03.393-05:00Memphis,

Factor in data such as stack size and position and I could justify playing middle pairs softly, say, 20% of the time. Not only does it keep your options open but it prevents you from being pigeonholed by your opponents.<br /><br />Love the blog, but will still be gunning for your ass.<br /><br />-Jew Boycraftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-15933330524916027492010-03-05T10:56:36.309-05:002010-03-05T10:56:36.309-05:00You've got to keep a mental track on limping w...You've got to keep a mental track on limping with small pairs - let me know how often that wins the pot, if at all. :)Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226640652091292377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-32702876410946760802010-03-05T10:55:58.235-05:002010-03-05T10:55:58.235-05:00Yes, keeping the bet consistently the same doesn&#...Yes, keeping the bet consistently the same doesn't give your opponent any information. And I did fail to mention coming up against a larger pair - it's poker and it happens, but not very often. For me, middle pairs are 7's-10's - pretty much right where you are. And I don't have any pearls of wisdom for playing small pairs - overbetting is dumb - maybe limping is the best thing - but your putting money on a two outer....I usually fold them but I dunno if that's the best play.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226640652091292377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-54940633755496120472010-03-05T10:35:51.170-05:002010-03-05T10:35:51.170-05:00I like your strategy of betting the same on pairs ...I like your strategy of betting the same on pairs no matter what they are. I assume by middle pairs you are talking 6's to 10's?? Good way to play them. Of course if you come up against a larger pair then that's poker and you might always flop a set. I usually limp with small pairs 2-5 or even 6 depending and just hope for the set. I actually liked Gus Hansen's book better than both Super Systems although they are good too. I just finished reading his book a couple weeks back.dbcooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842881222396028050noreply@blogger.com
