Guiding Principles of STT Strategy

[tminus]

List the top three principles that you employ in order of importance...

so far, mine are the following:

1. Starting requirements are dictated by level, position, and stack size relative to blinds and average table stack size.
2. Postlfop decisions should include your own table image, image of opponents, and THEN odds calculations.
3. Odds calculations are dependent on variables listed in principle 1.

[valenzuela]

1)tight early
2)selective agression in the middle
3)maniac late( ITM)

[junkmail3]

1. Make the money.
2. Finish first.
3. Try to bust the most annoying/worst player at the table first!

Off the top of my head...

1) Survive with FE for bubble time

2) Play aggresively on the bubble

3) Pay attention to relative chip positions

I'm sure I'm forgetting something because I'm multi-tabling right now. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Cunning Linguist]

1. Plug in Luckbox
2. Activate Pattern Mapper
3. Gamboooool

[pergesu]

1. Fold unless compelled to raise
2. Push unless compelled to fold
3. Luckbox my way out of any situation I come across

Stealing is better than limping.
Stealing is better than being blinded out.
Stealing is inescapable.
There is nothing wrong with being stolen from.
Limping when everyone is stealing is donating.
Your cards are sometimes the least important reason to bet or call.

This is the best answer.

[octaveshift]

1. Tight is right. (L1-L4)
2. Get to bubble with FE.
3. Steal like a drunken pirate. POOOOOSH!

[The once and future king]

1. Allways complete but never raise in the SB.
2. Calling > Raising.
3. If on the bubble fold ITM then wait for someone to bust, hope you have enough chips left to survive the blinds HU till you get AT+ or 88+ to go all in with.

[Slim Pickens]

1) Level 1-3: Raise if you're not afraid to be called, otherwise fold.

2) Level 4 through the bubble: Seeing a showdown is almost always bad for everyone involved in it, therefore fold if your opponents will call and raise if they will fold.

3) ITM: Install fresh batteries in wireless luckbox and POOOOOOOOOOSH.

Ah crap. Looks like I've got it all backwards. Thanks for the help there neighbor.

Hey! That was the post i was planning to make

[unfrgvn]

1. Tight early.
2. Loose late.
3. Don't forget to give other people a chance to gambool, increasing their chance of busting out and allowing me to money.
4. River quads.

[SlackerMcFly]

Maybe this will illustrate the basic concept of STT play:

A young bull and an old bull were standing on a hill overlooking a field full of nubile young cows.

Young bull is all excited and says to Old Bull "Hey, lets RUN down there and boink one of those cows".

Old Bull says: "Go ahead on, Son. I'm gonna WALK down and boink them all".

Figure out when to be the Young Bull and when to "Boink em all".

1. Don't get in any big confrontations early on w/o the nuts
2. Fold KQ like the plague
3. Make sure your bot types "Hi Everyone! gl all!" in the chat window at the start of each tourney so as to go undetected.

[lastchance]

1. Fold early.
2. Push late.
3. Play situations.

You need a new bot
mine says
"lucky fish" if I get sucked out on by a river card
"nh" 2 pair or better
"Thats poker" when I suck out majorily
"Holy Bleep" when quads and up are shown
and
GG after I money

My bot has a better vocabulary than 95% of the players on party......

[AA suited]

I explained it here for each level (30+3 to 200+15) (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=singletable&Number=2598924 &Forum=All_Forums&Words=&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Mai n=2598924&Search=true&where=bodysub&Name=10091&dat erange=1&newerval=1&newertype=w&olderval=&oldertyp e=&bodyprev=#Post2598924)

What do you think? (pls reply in that thread so you dont hijack this thread.)

[tminus]

focal point of your thread is tactics which brings me to an interesting thought:

how much of a strategy should be driven by absolutes as opposed to game-dependent decisions (behavior according to buy-in amount)
