common lines flowchart
 

I'm interested in putting up a 'flowchart' of the most common lines we run into as small stakes poker players.

A lot of very common situations come up here, and I think we could consolidate many posts.

Anyone interested in helping me build this?

Off the top of my head, here are my hardest decisions:

Top pair raised on flop
Set hits w/ monotone board
overpair against drawing low board,resistance
overpair against big broadway board (AA hits KJT)
top pair on paired board
trips on paired board w/ high pair (AJ hits JJ6)
trips on paired board w/ low pairs (A6 hit Q66)

What other common situations do you struggle with?

wouldn't this get a bit out of hand when you toss in reads, table image, stats, etc?

- Overpair or top pair on the river out of position.
- Top/2nd pair on turn against passive player - is he drawing or does he have me crushed? i.e. pot control vs hand protectin.
- When to fire 2nd barrel on the turn HU.

i think we'd have to assume against unknowns, but we could always add in comments for other specifics.

I would add what I was asking about here ... How to play an overpair vs a PF raiser.

I have to say that, in my opinion, createing a flowchart with strategy advice is a bad idea. The game is too complex to reduce to a flowchart with less than 3 trillion bubbles.

However, here's another idea. How about a flowchart (or something) with a list of common situations and links to threads discussing those situations? Something like this could be forum gold if its done well & is fairly complete. You'd be famous. Cheering in the streets...

Re: common lines flowchart
 

That sounds pretty good grunch....

I also considered doing it in a database format with columns such as:

- starting hand
- flop type
- opponent type
- specific action

hmmmmm.... grunch...if you have AOL AIM, let me know, and we can work on this a little

(aim name is same as my nick here)

It is quite a project, but if a bunch of people worked on it, I think it could be done. And it would be spectacular.

Re: common lines flowchart
 

Add some draws maybe, nutflushdraw on flop, flushdraw against raiser. Same for straightdraws. Maybe under thoose headings different scenarios styles could be grouped ex:
LAG where lag lines could be collected.
TAG where tag lines could be collected.
HU for HU lines
etc.
ALL for all posts under heading

Outstanding idea! That would be great to be able to browse tons of postings on a scenario. It would improve this forum by adding moore structure. It would perhaps demand much administrative work but, excellent idea!
