Im trying to develop card reading and putting people on ranges.
Im watching what villains do UTG ,OOP etc.
Ive spotted one villian inparticular limped with KK , JJ (he won these pots).
Then got married to 88 and got stacked, all in one orbit
I have seen him lose AI with K3o
All these shenanegans were never against me.
Are these types hard to play against?
Its like his range is 100% , what should I label him?
Loose passive donk with matramonial tendancies?
Easy money, look for him every time you log in to your poker account.Quote:

ok you said he limped in with his big pocket pair's (KK, JJ, etc.) explain what he did when he played 88 and the K3o hand.
Did he limp? Raise? How big was his stack for each of these hands? These are the questions you should be asking yourself to give yourself a better idea of what he might have.
You can't just label a guy "maniac" and expect to know EXACTLY what that means when you see him at a different table 2 weeks down the road. Hope this helps.

You need to note the position he did it in, some aggro players limp big pairs in EP intending to C-R

hey, talk of the devil, hes just turned up at my very table, small world.
are you suggesting he's positionally unaware because he played these three hands in one orbit? if so im nto sure i understand what you mean.Quote:

Ah, yes , I did suggest that , A gross error.
I didnt record his positions . I should have left it at that.
I convinced myself he wasnt positionally aware without evidence.

theoretically, if his range was 100% of the hands that he could possibly continue with, he'd be an easy opp to figure out and destroy.
ok. This is my last FTR post until I have read these two books.

Lot's of people who post here either haven't read them or forgot what they read. Keep posting and learning here AND read some books, imo.Quote:

4. Bluffs too often (at micros most decent "bluffs" are actually semi-bluffs, "bluffs" with outs) and with total air.
I think what folks are trying to say above is that each of these conditions is exploitable in different ways, so you'd like to gather more information on how to tell when he's being a station vs. when he's trying some "fancy play" with a big hand, when he's vulnerable because of his bluffing tendencies, etc. You've identified his major leaks, now just try to notice what tipoffs he'll give you about which leak he's falling prey to in which hands.
