This is true. And if u cant pick out which category the person fits into that is doing the raising, get poker tracker then download playerview...datamine your table for 30 minutes to find a loose one and jump into it. If u have someone with a low VP$IP raising be careful, someone iwth a high rating, dont respect the raises as much (this is very general, u also have to take into account their pre-flop aggression as well, and after the flop, their post flop agression which, with enough data will tell u if they hit something or not. Pretty simple really, at least at the low stakes.)

With SSH and poker tracker, u should really be dominating the tables. Hell if I know the other two in the pot with me missed their draws or their hands seem weak, I'll just keep pushing them around (be careful of their went to showdown rating, if its low, then push and push and push -- they push back then they either have something or think they do, but youd be freakin surprised at what these people go all the way with.)

Most of the people at these tables are literally playing the role of Rocky, they dont care about winning, they just want to go all the way, to go the distance. Everytime they make it to the river, the better they think they are.

this is a ramble, but really u need to take into account the other players at the table and get out of the box that is just your hand, and not follow the chart strictly...you eventually want to be at a point where it all just flows, where u know exactly how to play certain hands and how they perform at a table. Tight preflop and an excellent post flop strat is where its at.

Lata.
