Default How do you make money in SSNL?

Clearly, an accurate answer is my opponents making mistakes. What is a more specific answer?

My opponents general inability to lay down one pair hands?
My opponents loose preflop play?
My superior postflop play?
My opponents weak hand reading?
My ability to bluff?
ETC.

More than one may apply! Thank you.

Pushing small edges for maximum profit. Controlling the pot and seeing a cheap showdown when you are unsure of the strengh of your had. Inflating the pot when you have a great hand.

I really don't think pushing small edges for maximum profit is what makes the money at SSNL. Sure, it may increase your overall profit, but it drastically increases your variance. The way to make money is to control pot size based on your opponent and force them to make incorrect plays, according to the fundamental theorem of poker.

Also, bluffing *can* be done at SSNL. It just has to be the right game and players, otherwise you'll get called down (in which case, refer to other posts about value bets).

your opinion and his depend on:

how accurately you can assess those small edges, bankroll size, risk tolerance.

Imagine that isn't an option down here and I think you'd be better off. Value bets are the way to go.

I definitely agree with you, if you can determine who you can bluff and who you can't then by all means bluff.
