Need to learn to mix play up?

[Webster]

V$P 25-28 sounds WAY WAY loose but I'm at a higher level - still - that's pretty fishy at any level.

ROCKS lose - every guy in PT that I have (100,000 hands) that is a ROCK is also losing money.

Mixing it up - I don't think this is a good idea and if you think people are paying THAT mutch attention to you . . . .well, they aren't.

Where do you play? UKPoker? hmmmmm Perhaps it MIGHT be too small.

What I would do is make sure if you are 1st to act - raise in instead of limping in. Instead of limping in with A5s in the middle - raise in. Or raise in qith Q9s in the middle instead of limping in if 1st to act.

OR - go to another site.

I doubt that. The vast majority of your opponents are mesmerized by their own cards. Table image isn't usually a significant factor at 20 times the stakes.

Even if someone is calling you a rock, that doesn't mean he is changing his play appropriately. Someone criticized my play at a NL table, saying I was a coward who only played AA, KK, and AK. (My VP$IP at that table was about 25%, lower than the table average by a factor of 3.) Then I raised UTG, and the complainer reraised all-in for 10 times the pot with AJ.

ANyhow, Do you guys find your "predictable"? Do you care?

I don't think I am predictable. I play tightly, but when I bet on a flop of J94, I could have AK, KK, or JJ. When I bet an ace-high flop, I could have AK, QQ, or 76. When people start adjusting correctly, I might start to worry, but there really isn't much anyone can do to foil tight, aggressive play.

Trouble is blind stealing works occasionaly, But I have some calling stations whom foil my attempts.

Don't try to bluff calling stations, but don't think of betting on the flop with AQ unimproved as bluffing.

Hi guys,

Currently experiencing "varience"(bad cards/Good cards missing flops Etc) , Having had a nice run of $20.54 Over 3428 Hands Varience is hitting me, I'm down by $6 in past 2days(60BB).

The guys i play with i see daily, When i join a table i see atleast 3 players i know/Played before lots/Have notes on.

I'm pretty sure most know how i play, So moving site will be a wise move soon.

Playing 25- 28% of hands is loose?! I'm following the SSH tight chart, Can i get any tighter?

I adjust to the games, If they are loose i may play a few more hands in late position etc but i didn't think id be called loose?

Pokertracker will tell me i suppose, But have to move a supported site and purchase/Play 10 000 hands before i know.

I guyess ill stick to my current game then and wont adjust to much, This varience im getting lately is horrible but ill "ride it out".

Thanks all.

It depends in you are talking VPIP or if you are including big blind hands. If you include big blind hands, %25-%28 ok for a passive 10 person game since 10% of your hands are from the big blind.

His reported numbers are not VPIP, they're Flop Seen % I'm pretty sure so his VPIP is probably right in line. PokerTracker will clear that the rest of the way up.

I'd say play at a bigger site, though I'm having trouble believing that there are any sites where many opponents at the level you play actually pay attention.
