I think I played this well. Again, waiting for the turn (this one's not real safe, though) to make a move.

I fold this preflop.

But about your new strategy that you've read about. It would work well if everyone checked the flop. Then your big bet just screws over everyones pot odds.

Also, small bets hardly scare anyone away...it just looks weak when you check.

I like enticing a bet from the weak ace here. Now on the turn I seem to be repping the queen and can be fairly sure to get calls on both of the last two rounds.

1/2 players could care less what you might have. Relentlessly value betting your good hands usually wins more than getting tricky does.

If your opponents suck to begin with, they won't understand pot odds and call away

I noticed you posting more 2/4 hands. Did you move down? Any reasons?

I don't know ... I just spent a month or so relentlessly value betting good hands and the results were Terrible. It occurred to me that something was missing, so I'm experimenting with trickier plays.

Just started playing again since 3/6 6 max came around. No poker edge, my DB is a little dated, I suspect the 3/6 full game got worse and I was playing after midnight on a Tuesday...

I used to drop down quite a bit when I was playing daily. If the games at your usual level suck, just drop down for a few hours.

Sometimes bet, sometimes check/fold. Depends on how much I think I can push the other 2 guys around, particularly the Button.

The 3/6 full tables did get a lot worse. During the day, there are at least 5 people that are like 13/10 players at every table now(all of which I see playing all day every day). At night it isn't as bad, but I hardly ever play at night, so the 6-max change at 3/6 definately sucks for me. Game is still beatable for sure, but definately not by quite as much.

Post stats, etc. "Not tricky enough" probably isn't the root cause of it IMHO.
