Message: [QUOTE="t1riel, post: 381598, member: 3913"] I recently read an article by Daniel Negreanu dealing with Limit Hold em and how you should play as far as stragedy. Basically, the article is stating that slow playing Limit Hold em is sometimes a big mistake. It's designed for fast-paced game with lost of action. However, this is a time when you should slow play. Whne you have the nut hand and you don't want to scare other players away from betting. Otherwise, be aggressive. Limit Hold em requires you to play with more creativity and finesse as well as using trapping tactics. However, you do might want to slow play every now and then to be unpredictable. If you decide to slowplay, the atricle offers these tips: • Find the right opponent — The best type of opponent to slow play against is the one who is aggressive and bluffs often. The player who will see your check as a sign of weakness and will look to take the pot away from you is a great target. Don't slow play against a timid player. • Have a monster hand — You must hold a very strong hand. One pair, even if it's aces or kings, is still a marginal hand after the flop is dealt. Slow play a hand like that and you'll often find that you're only trapping yourself into losing a monster pot. • Have a plan — Always think about how to maximize your profit in the hand. So, depending on the table action, don't count out fast playing a pair of aces on the flop. In the right situation, fast play might garner even more action. • Avoid predictability — If you always slow play with monster hands, opponents will quickly notice. Be aware of the fact that you must mix it up. The article gives you a key thing to remember. "Never underestimate how perceptive your opponents are. They're always trying to figure you out, so don't make it easy on them." What do you think? [/QUOTE]
