Re: Re-inventing the wheel: a blind play strategy
I guess I'm cheating since I only play 5/10, but I thought this was a pretty interesting topic so I wanted to respond. While you certainly want to go to showdown with hands like A5o, there is the negative that he will eventually realize what is going on. If you only C/R big hands, even lags will eventually realize to fold. Also, If he sees that you're taking ace high to showdown very passively, he'll probably also learn to stop betting the turn, thuse giving him free cards to draw out on a pair to you.
When I first started playing abso I took this strategy because there were a ton of LAGtags there that I did not want to fold ace high against. However soon they realized my patterns and I was soon paying off ace high hands to mid pair and they were giving up their bluffs on the turn.
Against LAGS that can't learn and adjust, yeah, it seems good. But against thinking LAGS and players that recognize you and will adjust, doing just this probably won't work.
