Default Re: Hit and Run vs. Taking Command vs. Trapping

The idea of switching gears is very important....you always want to be a few steps ahead of your opponents...Play loose then play tight....make a few crazy calls when you can afford to gamble, then check-raise the nuts on the turn....etc...etc...

Also the point about post-flop play should not be forgotten....just raising preflop and potting the flop does not make you good post-flop....Put people on hands, try to always make the correct play, incorporate blocking bets and semi-bluffs into your game...

Most importantly, tame your aggression....know when you are beat....

Ideally, when you are a big stack at the table, you should be able to make more and more money, not lose it fast....you have a huge advantage and if you pick the right situations to use your stack, you will be dominating these games
