LAG experiment

[Neil Stevens]

If you wish to learn the value of position, try an experiment where you raise with any two in an unraised pot preflop.

Yeah I just spent $50 this way at $25 NL, and it was interesting. A few people quickly adjusted, and responded by trying to push me around postflop (since they knew I usually had nothing). Having position on the right people would make all the difference.

I won a few big pots, grabbed some small ones postflop when nobody hit, but generally just bled out those raises. I don't see how anyone can make money this way in the long term against thinking opponents.

I can see the value with raising any two on the button, though. And I can imagine doing this live could work better, since you can get real reads on who you can push out with continuation bets.
