What's your style?

Postby Cactus Jack » Sat Nov 05, 2005 6:23 am

What style of poker do you think you play? How do you define it?

How did you come to play this style? Is it your natural style, or against your nature but more effective?

Do you play the same style in every game-type--ring or tournament?

Do you change up? If so, how effective are your curve balls?

What styles do you like to play against and which do you hate to play against?

I'm a lag in cash games and MTT's, in SNG's though, I'm far more conservative.

I play tight-aggressive but I always am adapting to the situations. Even when I'm making seemingly loony pushes, I'm doing it because the push was +EV. I don't play tight in the sense that I'm always waiting for good hands, I play tight in the sense that I stick to the odds.

That reminds me... the whole "sometimes you just don't get the cards" complaint in SNGs means little to nothing. You do not need to have the cards to win those SNGs.

This is definitely my natural style. I always like to play with the odds in my favor and I do not enjoy gambling for the sake of gambling.

Escape Plan, you do need cards if you wanna win the ones at party :lol:

I remember this one time, I couldn't get a hand to save my life, Got to about 6 people and I hadn't played a hand, anyone paying attention would know I was playing tight. Anyway the blinds are getting up there, I see 89s in the CO, push all in when it folds to me, got two callers, no pairs, and only one over card between the two :lol:

Can't bluff all in against that sorta thing :lol:

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

"This one time". Enough said.

Also how much each stack had and their calling ranges definitely changes things, but you still should be able to find your spots.
