Inside the Poker Mind (Low Content)
Another low content post but what the hell - I have had a ridiculous week.
One thing Feeney does not really deal with in his excellent book is the mind of really stupid LAG-type players. Let us be really clear about this; online we are making a LOT of money playing against players like those involved below. It is not just about loose-passives. Hands like these crop up really quite regularly - or at least they do if you pick the kind of tables I do. Such examples serve to remind us just WHY and WHO we are making the money from. Learn to love them as they run-over you with their abysmal play. BEFORE LAG-realisation $5/$10 Hold'em (5 handed) converter Preflop: Button has J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB caps</font>, MP calls, Button calls.

And finally, there are a number of LAGs who will NEVER FOLD once they get into a fight (like the 23s hand above). Note the chat after the play here... $5/$10 Hold'em (5 handed) converter Preflop: CO has A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO caps</font>, Button calls.
