Alright, the way I play and has seemed to work for me (considering me and my friend have won the last 17 pots, he uses the same strat)

Alright, I play tight passive at first I wait for a good hand, like three of a kind or full house. Wen I get it it I slow play it to milk the others, then I check raise at the end, which seems to work very well.

I'll then win a large pot, and most likely be chip leader. After that hand I change my game to tight agressive, trying to buy the pot alot, because it adds up after a while and I, I go kind of easy on the short stacks because they are more likely to call an all-in and I don't wanna give a pot up, and I don't want to lose and let them double up. However with pocket aces or kings I will play agressive against them before the flop, hoping they call an all-in.

I don't put much faith on the turn or river, say I have a 23 offsuit and the flop comes up 56 offsuit, I'm not put my faith on the next two. Unless I just get a feeling, which isn't often.

In heads up when it's only me and 1 other person left playing for the pot, I'll switch from passive to tight, to throw him off a little, but overall I'd play more tight waiting for the luck to come on the flop, and then slow play him out of a big pot.

Like I said though, I'm good with the people I play with but haven't really been graded by someone else, I almost always win, and am confident with the people I play with, but I don;t know if it'd work against really good people.

Post some hand histories, I'd like to see your 'strat' at work.

that type of play is well suited going up against ripptyde. If you catch a hand to trap him.

I've been playing passively preflop lately, and kicking up the aggression depending on the action postflop, works well against weak/tights.

Do you get hands like trips or FH often? Which other hands do you try this with? Which starting hands do you play and how do you play them PF? I know you said TP but a hand history would be cool. It seems like you'll be doing a whole lot of waiting around for a PP to cath trips or a boat. If the search I tried can be relied on, the odds of beind dealt a PP are 16:1 or 5.9%. It would also seem to be fairly easy for your opponents to get a read on your playstyle and adjust accordingly.

Do you play online, B&M or home games with friends?

Tonight I played and my first hand was a 74 offsuit so i folded. the next was A7 suited clubs, i was bb so i checked then the flop came up 2 spades 7 hearts 3 hearts so i checked and so did everyone else then, the turn came A hearts and the pot was raised 3 times the bb so i called, and then the river came up 9 hearts so i checked then someone raised 10 times the bb and 1 other called, so i considered calling but thought at least one had hearts and folded, and i was right one had a heart and spade and the other had pocket 9's

A few hands later i was dealt AK offsuit and the flop came up A710 rainbow so i raised 2xbb and was called by two others, then the turn came up A again so i checked and then was raised 4xbb so i called then the river came up 2 so i checked then was raised all in and i called thinking if he had an A i most likely had a better kicker and i would win, so he flipped his cards it was A9 offsuit and i won. i didnt really have to milk this one pot because he had a really good hand also and was pretty much gonna call anything.
