"When weak act strong"?

A great rule for low limits is this: try desperately to give your hand away. They play so loose, don't really know what you are representing, and don't do anything about it anyway that its definately detrimental to try to disguise your hand. Yup, they know they're beat but call anyway. And this is great against the "tricksy" folks who presume that everyone who knows what they are doing play "tricksy".

Even in tough games, the correct way to play is, well, the correct way to play. The main reason to disguise your hand ..err.. play 'incorrectly', is not to disguise this one but to disquise the ones you DO play correctly.

When weak play weak. When strong play strong. I have no idea where you heard the reverse advise, but it wasn't here.

Now "Triksy" is for folks who will bet Ks with a Q but lay it down for a raise against you, since they know you won't raise with KJ. Now you probably DO want to just call with AK and raise with the pair of 7s.

Some of the posters seem to be using the terms weak play vs strong play as synonyms for slow play vs fast play or tricky play (Caro's "Fancy Play Syndrome" [FPS]) vs straight forward play.

The OP wrote that he hadn't read Caro's book on tells. Which is where the "weak means strong, strong means weak" phrase comes from. Which refers to how to interprete a tell when you think the other player is acting.
