I just signed up at a poker site that was mentioned by AOK a few months ago. Well, boy did I pick a doozy. I am currently playing at the 10NL tables. The flops are well over 50%!!! I have seen about seven to nine consecutive hands where EVERYONE (6 to 8) limps in preflop.
Before playing I scouted out the various tables, read all of AOK'S strat on 19 hands. I played my best poker ever. I let hand after hand go by. KJ in the early position..tossed it...KJ and than a raise...mucked it!!! JT...KT...you name it, mucked it. I did get KK and broke the bank with it My question is, how do I run over this table? My reservations are that some knucklehead is gonna limp in with some crappy 5 3, Q2 type hand and draw out on me.
After reading the AOK strat, if the flop hits me, I bet out. These guys call anyway. Only when i flop a full house do i check and see what happens. On one hand, I flop a set and bet out $2 dollars and drove everyone out of the hand. I was so excited about getting a playable hand after 45 minutes of playing only one flop. Only one.
Last point. I have noticed that over the last two weeks as i have begun to discipline myself in cash games where I am not playing as loose. My opponents are noticing how tight I am and are raise 10-20x the blinds when I am in the big blind or when I limp/raise. Are they playing back at me and what should I do? At times my emotions and ego are saying "pop this idiot for a reraise".
Help me out. I am serious about building my br and I need some bullets to add to my holster.
