Too reckless?

[Iq75]

I have been playing on Eurobet for a month now, and noticed that 0.5/1 there is extremely tight (vpip 15 – 30 %). I think that this is because I play in European times (I normally stop playing at the same time that NYSE closes).

Anyway once and a while (not too often) I realise that I’m sitting in a table were players only seldom cold call. And when they do, they are extremely weak – tight and passive on the later streets.

Here’s on example. The tables vpip was 17 %, and only two players had vpip more than 30 % after 30 hands (38 % and 47%).


Eurobet 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises, 5 folds, button calls, sb folds, bb calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
bb checks, Hero bets, button folds, bb calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, bb folds.


Most of the time tables are more aggressive (but as tight) than this and then I of course try to play ABC – poker.

But in tables like these I just bluff like hell. I raise preflop anything that I would call whit if there is only 1 caller before me or no callers at all (even from UTG). I bet basically every street against 1 – 2 opponents (unless there is need to slowplay or c/r) and if someone bets or raises I usually fold (depending of course; sometimes I actually hit the flop).

I have played in games like these only about 100 hands so it’s hard to say if I’m winning or not. Do you think that, giving the right circumstances, this is + EV style to play?
