Message: [QUOTE="blueskies, post: 6979779, member: 50699"] You can't be predictable and you have to vary your play by position and by opponent and by board texture. But it is totally ok to SEEM like you are predictable. I love it when villains think when I do X it means Y, then that's when you can exploit. Poker is a cat and mouse game and you need to learn when to vary your play. So like if everyone's folding whenever you raise, then open wider. But it sounds like the second time you were getting a lot of action from loose callers. In that case tighten up your opening range. Don't continue to open wider just because you are "supposed" to raise a certain percentage of your hands. Do it if the situation makes sense. Like if you are getting 3 or 4 callers every time you open, then you will just have to tighten up and open without a premium hand most of the time from CO or BTN. [/QUOTE]
