I've had as little as 22, had a 1/2 pot bet raised on the flop, and reraised all in to destack a shorter stacked AK.
I hate to complicate things for a beginner, but I can't advocate weak tightness. I suggest using your method against predictable tight players only.
Hi Rondavu. Your comment intrigues me. I tend to play weak/tight, I'll admit. It has done very well for me. When I try to get aggressive I lose BIG-time and quickly. I tried this most recently at my ill-fated move up to $25 NL. My normal PT raise % is around 2.7% but I had pushed it up to over 3.6% at the $25 tables and lost 100 bucks in three sessions.
Your above example, of the 22, speaks to me of sheer luck. You pushed all in and you hit a set, right? It's just luck. AK is a shitty hand. I would never have called an all-in with that. I never do.
Maybe you are referring to tournament play? That strategy makes sense there.
Certainly with unpredictable tables of morons and sharks, counter-play tactics work quite well. My recent trip up to $25 land has shown me that you will consistently lose to suck-outs. People play anything there. It's worse than the lower limits, in all honesty. At least at Paradise it is.
I'm eager to learn new tactics, but my experience with being more aggressive has consistently failed. Why is this? Aside from my moronicity, that is.
