The truth is the tight predictable style of Dan Druff

[/ QUOTE ]

Last night I played with Mr. Witteles. In one hand I opened in the CO and a very LAG player 3-bet me from the button, and he called from the BB with his Th8h... Definitely not within the hand range of a "tight predictable nit." Later, while observing a game I didn't feel like playing in, he raised 65s UTG, 5 handed game, with a CO poster+dead SB.

I dunno maybe he's opening up his game more, or maybe he simply enjoys a lot of the regular cast thinking he's a tight ABC nit but he really isn't.

Yes, he is capable of mixing it up a little pre-flop. But the reason I characterize him as being a bit unimaginative is that he doesn't mix it up enough post-flop. The best players are capable of chkraising on any street with anything and they make sure you know it.

When I'm in a game, I really don't care how people play pre-flop, it's how they play post-flop that is most important. It is there that you find out which players can be bluffed, induced to bluff, whom you can fold safely to, etc.
That's where the real money is made in holdem. Playing a little looser or tighter pre-flop really doesn't matter all that much given how much the flop often defines our hands.

(I for one, though would typically not make those plays mentioned above.)
