Re: Doyle Brunson\'s Style of Playing No Limit
You may want to reread his NL section. Many players make the assumption that Doyle is advising you to continually go all in, raise left and right never let someong play back at you and so on.
If you read the entire section carefully, you will see that Doyle advises that if you raise preflop and it is checked to you, bet. But, he puts in a caveats about the type of players you are playing against and the texture of the board. Furthermore, he repeatedly suggests that you need to have the ability to "get away" from hands.
Doyle's genereal strategy is to be the most aggressive player at the table--I don't think anyone on this forum would tell you there in any money in passivity. However, it is each players personal responsiblilty to selectively direct that agression.
ps I wouldn't try the 'ol raise any two cards after I win a pot trick too often. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
