Message: [QUOTE="Bill_Hollorian, post: 367606, member: 5756"] Tazz, That is sort of my point. See optimal strategy as embodied by Tight/Agg gets you just enough to stay in front of the game. When a big down swing hits you really are never prepared for it. See the stuff in books keeps you from marginal situations, you are only in situations that are safe. Marginal situations are where the profit is, and profit that allows you to ride the bad times out. When I say loosen up, all I mean is play a few more starting hands than normal, and against some opponents play almost all of them. Limp just a few times and come in for raises. This is a poor example but Stuey U.: Ill play this 8,3 off against him for a big raise...he is tight, and he aggressive, but I am more agrressive. If the flop has no card higher than a Jack, he will bet anyway, and I will force him off his hand. He will lay down... Thats what you have to do to beat this game. He is exploiting the tendency of his opponent. The first player plays optimal strategy, Stuey plays exploitive strategy. Yet, in no book does it say when you should play 8,3,off for a big prelop raise...why not? Folks are so trained that they dont even want to SHOW "bad" cards for fear of embarrassment. They are worried people at the table will think they are stupid. They all read the same books. The point is Your cards need to stop mattering, go out there and toss some bad beats on folks. I am going to write a book on loose aggressive strategy, exploitive strategy, it is time folks know the truth. ps You may agree Dont you love Tight aggressives? They are only in the pot a few times, so you just fold out of their way... unless you have a monster, than just sit back and let them bet their hand, toss a raise in on the end for good measure. They spend their days building a bankroll one bet at a time. Bill [/QUOTE]
