Theory of the 10% commitment

Postby TableTiger1 » Thu Sep 27, 2007 11:02 pm

I don't know if any of you have read the new ed miller book something something hold em. (forgot the name) But he advocates a strategy of commitment. Basically the book is saying once 10% of your stack is put in you need to decide if you are commited at that point to getting the rest of your money in. If you aren't you check and or fold, otherwise you figure out hand ranges for your opponents and determine the best way to get all the money in. This seems like an interesting idea and was just wondering what the big boys at BTP think of it? Is this how you all subconsciously play and he has just labeled it or is this just totally wack. Comments from GLR and Xaston (since they seem to play a more laggish style) would be greatly appreciated. :D

I think the theory applies to higher stakes where usually/a lot of times the money is in by the flop. In lower stakes i think it's better to get more information in the remaining streets. They are not as unpredictable as to have to make a decision with so little information as when ONLY 10% of your stack is in.
