Don't you mean: "what did I tell you before? if you had read the articles on position you'd know that it's the most important thing in poker and you should never forget about it" |
In this case yes and no. Because of the importance of position you should only be raising your very best hands in early position. The question is whether this player is trying to play well or is he an "idiot". This is where poker tracking software can help you without it you just have to observe the other players. If you know he's playing very few hands then the chances are hes got a high pocket pair or AK raising under the gun. if hes playing lots of hands i.e he limps in or raises a lot then the chances are he has a wide range of cards and he could be raising any Ace or any two broadway cards.

Someone told me you hunt down noobs for the opportunity to say that

bet larger Pre , you have a monster but you min raised. Don't just hit the raise button increase the bet size then hit raise.As it is you are making it cheap for Ax hands to call and see the flopand ideally you want to get all your money in against one guy.You're out of position so I'd probably make it 20-24 to go.

Ah I see. What about if you're playing on tight tables? Still same raise anyways? I'm always afraid of them folding or seeing I have KK/AA, but is it better to not worry about that?

If they haven't got a hand they aren't going to get there money in anyway. Don't give them the chance to draw to a monster that crushes your hand with crap cards pre and on the flop.You make money when they keep making mistakes. They make money when you make the mistake and lettingthem draw out cheap is a mistake.

If you had a HUD and could see his stats and hes a nit , I fold if hes a 80/60

How do I see his stats?

do you have any poker tracking software?. Also mac or PC ? On PC you can start off with Poker tracker 3 and take advantage of their 2 month free trial. Then try out Holdem manager with there two week free trial. By the time thats up you should have made enough to be able to buy Holdem manager. If you have a mac its poker copilot , but I don't know if theres any free trials.
Make sure you have the poker client set to save all your hands for at least 3 months. Once you get a tracker it will move the hand historys anyway. Once you have the poker tracker it will come with a HUD and then you just set that up and as you play it will keep a track of all your opponents stats.
