What do you think is the biggest wrong perception among low stakes players about high stakes?

How much are you bluffing pure air if ever and what scenarios?

boxers or briefs?

what are perceptions of low stakes players? i forget what it was like

i bluff pure air alot when in smallish pots. like utg raises, i call BB with 68s, HU flop is 45T with a backdoor draw, check call flop, check check blank turn, bet half pot riv -fold

also i 3 barrel when i think they will fold with pure air enough

I find that I'm bleeding chips out of the BB in 3/6+ where alot of the btn/co stealers aren't total idiots. Can you say something smart about blind defense?

reraise alot. if you ever flat call c/r scary flops, lead at random times too, but also lead with good hands some to balance

of course, but really only if im having trouble with someone. looking at how they played in big pots is the easiest way. other things include knowing their AF numbers and how much they open raise from different spots is helpful for knowing when to reraise

Gabe, what type of flops are you c/r'ing and with what type of hands?

Here's a common spot. The BTN opens and you call with 89s. The flop come 942. Is this a flop you c/r or a flop you like to lead?

I rarely if ever c/r. What are the benefits of c/r'ing? Would you agree that getting to see more turns b/c of the threat is one of them?

normally id fold 89s to just a button raise

i wouldnt c/r a pair there though. also, that board isnt scary so i dont think i would c/r bluff it either. if board was like 567 two tone, thats a great board to c/r with any hand you call with (even KQ type hands). if board was 9 high with 89s i probably lead and check call 50 50

when you started out moving up the stakes, how many tables were you able to effectively play at one time?

you said earlier
Quote:

"ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS LOG HOURS AND THINK ANALYTICALLY ABOUT EVERY HAND YOU PLAY AND IMPLEMENT YOUR FINDINGS.


how can you do this and still multi table? i know thinking analytically every time is just an ideal to try and achieve...but i was wondering if it would help my game more to play only 2 tables and reduce my hourly rate...

thanks for this sweet thread.

the analytical thinking comes AFTER you play a session. like when u are sitting around bored or right before u fall asleep is when you think about that shit.

i played 4/5 tables when i played $100nl and just moved up slowly from there. i dont remember specifics

What would be the number one thing you would tell $100NL players to work on for making that first big jump to $200NL?

Did you use pokerstove or any other programs to help when analyzing PT at anytime, ala: Townsends video on CR, to learn about equity's?

Did you ever spend a little bit of your BR while grinding to enjoy the fruits or was it strictly targeting the next level?

I'm just tryign out the move from sng/mtts to short handed ring, so excuse the noobishness of questions.

How do I prevent a hand like JJ from turning into air?

If I'm holding AA, should I be re-re-raising, or should I just call? What about QQ?

Limping/calling/raising with PPs - any advice?
