    Oeps mist that still
    Thanx Davidem

    Now back to the exercises before I finaly get to play some hours
    In exercise #3 I`m NOT really vulnerable but that is because I`ve chosen not to bluf much because i have bad experience with that and because it`s not what been advised in this thread ..
    I have read through exercises 4 and 5 and it`s verry sophiticated at the end of 5. Wanted to ask if it`s really +ev to change your play depending on some stats in the micro`s because a 10/5 could be raising only with the 5% worst hands (theoreticly) as they r soo bad sometimes. And because most people here advise simple no brainer honest abc wtf ever poker for the micro`s.

    At the end of exercise #5 I suddenly figure`d this REALLY makes deciscions as it`s all about adjusting to you`re apponent. Knowing this, and by chosing how to play your entire range to exploit his play is all information that makes it somehow easier to accept the cards that dealtyou`re not longer waiting for good cards. more for good situations and that is card/ opponent/ pot/ size/ position etc depending.

    knowing that can make it easier to see when to play what cards.

    A Question to spoontinow
    Is a 500 hands sample sufficient to make these kind of decisions ?? And does this kind of dicision making really make your game a lot more profitable at he lowest limits. As 20 % vpip isn`t always the same 20% of cards.

    in the mean time exercise #4

    1. If someone folds to flop continuation bets a whole lot, you can adjust by _cbet more, maybe open up preflop, slowplay more with stong hands.
    2. If someone calls the flop continuation bets a whole lot and folds to a turn continuation bet a whole lot, you can adjust by _bet more on the flop with monsters, float more, or just cbet more for two streets ??.
    3. If someone folds their blinds pre-flop a whole lot, you can adjust by _open up preflop, slowplay big hands more.
    4. If someone raises flop continuation bets a lot, you can adjust by __raise good hands, check fold weak hands, check more and raise less air.
    5. If someone calls down multiple streets with any piece, you can adjust by _value bet more_ more and _bluf less__ less.
    6. If someone open-raises a very wide range pre-flop and doesn't 4-bet a wide range, you can adjust by _three bet more, open up a little(less than him).
    7. If someone open-raises a very tight range pre-flop, you can adjust by _open up more.
    8. If someone continuation bets the flop a lot of the time, you can adjust by _three bet more, check more.

    Now and tomorrow morning I`m gonna do some tight shit. Spoon, I`m really curios to your answer.
    When becomes it profitable to play differently then clean abc poker in the micro`s, as playing thight abc acutally allready is adjusting to your apponents.

    Manny thnx in advance
