Basically, if you think a certain player will call a 5x overbet with a shit hand, DON'T bet the same amount that you always do because you are concerned that the better players are watching and soaking up information about you. Make the play that is appropriate for the situation!<br /><br />Also, if you believe that someone will only pay off a 2BB bet on the river just to see you what you have, but will fold to a 2/3 bet (yet feel compelled to bet that amount since that is what you always do on the river), make that 2BB bet!<br /><br />The biggest thing to remember is that poker is not a game ruled by the rational senses. Poker is played with greed, excitement, fear, humiliation, and pride, and THEN, lastly, intellect. People don't usually make bad calls because of a lack of intelligence or some brilliant bobbing and weaving on your part. They make them because those other emotions overwhelm their senses. This is why things like short stacking and limp re-raising work, though on paper, are utterly ridiculous and predictable.<br /><br />Please, PLEASE do not concern yourself with appearing unexploitable. Make the play appropriate for the situation and only mix in deception where necessary.Lorin Yellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217221028351659344noreply@blogger.com
