Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7177544, member: 397965"] Are you playing live or online, and what exactly do you mean by "low stakes cash games"? Online this term is typically used for 25NL and 50NL, and these stakes are not really all that soft. So the best strategy for these games will be very different from the best strategy for a live $1/$2 or $1/$3 cash game in a casino. And the strategy for an online 2NL cash game, which is called micro stakes rather than low stakes, will again be different, because the money is so insignificant. But regardless of the game, pentazepam is completely right, that you want to adjust to individual opponents or at least player types rather than trying to determine "player pool tendencies" and use the same strategy against everyone. And rather than focus on your overall "bluffing frequency", you want to focus on situations and board textures, and use different strategies for each street. For instance if you know from your HUD or manual observations in the casino, that someone hardly ever fold on the flop, sure then you probably want to check back the flop more often especially with hands, where you would go for a "one-and-done" strategy against other players. But this also mean, they must arrive on the turn with a weak range, so if you do C-bet the flop, another good adjustment will be to dubbel barrel more and not less, when you get to the turn. If they also call a lot of the turn, then this mean, they arrive to the river with a very weak range. And while fish will often chase after bad draws including gutshots and the "two pair draw", this does not mean, they are always going to call a river bet with a busted draw or bottom pair. So bluffing them on the river can still be very profitable, at least if you use a moderate sizing, since they might also be inelastic in their calling range. But since their range is so weak, you also want to think about the hands, you are bluffing with, and often check back A high, which can have much more showdown value, that it would against a player, who fold more on the early streets. But if you have a busted draw yourself, that can not win at showdown, like 65s, it would be very weak to just check back and let them win the pot with their J high or whatever. [/QUOTE]
