Re: Last hand before the break (ugh) Deepstack 30-3
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Playing passively against a TAG is generally bad. [/ QUOTE ] I feel like I understand what you're saying here intuitively, but I wonder if you can elaborate on this idea a bit. My intution is that you can't let a tight aggressive player dictate the size of a pot or how the bets get into a pot. You either don't give him action when you feel he's strong, or you raise and reraise to allow his tightness to come into play and give him a chance to fold when you feel you can push the TAG off his hand. In any case, you don't just call bets, (and here's where I get lost) because you're likely to be behind? or because you get no information about the TAG's hand? Bleah. I am curious if there's a general principle I'm missing here. -D [/ QUOTE ] Sorry for not clarifying; I think you understood it on your own, though. I was talking about the extreme version of TAG that you find often (and probably shoud be yourself) in a tournament--i.e. someone who raises and folds a lot, but calls infrequently. Against these players, you have lots of fold equity, and can easily get away when you're wrecked, so you don't want to be calling down too much. |

Re: Last hand before the break (ugh) Deepstack 30-3
Noticing the stacks here, I believe that and playerstyle is often more important than the cards.
Personally I don't call a raise in that spot with ATo even in position vs the only one at the table who can hurt me. It depends how good/bad said player is though. |
