It's CO or button I think.

I disagree with deme a bit here. I think the pfr needs to be a good bit higher, up to 13 probably. I see what you're saying about nl10 but you will leave a ton of money on the table limping with pairs and SC's at 25nl. They will call with a huge range but that just means you profit when they throw it away to a flop cbet. I will almost never limp at nl25 for any reason.

Att to steal should be at least 25 imo, especially given how bad the opposition will be.

You need to be more positionally aware as well I think. Take you're UTG vpip and then multiply it by 2 or 3, that's what your button vpip should be. I'm bad for this, but you need to have a significantly looser range in late position, 13 --> 17 is too tight on the button. Stick in SC's, suited gappers and all that.

I think you could also do with ramping up the aggression a bit more, especially on the turn. Maybe you give up too much to people floating cbets. As you move through nl25 into nl50 you will get picked off at will by the grinders if you do this.

Right, at NL25. At NL10 I HONESTLY think that having that much aggression preflop only gets you into too many sticky situations since it is still essentially no foldem holdem.

The few times I have played NL25 I have seen this to be true. I noticed they seem to float a lot more however.

Okay, I will work on improving this.

Again, I think this is something I will improve at NL25 but at NL10 is not entirely smart. The no foldem holdem mentality that is prevalent at NL10 means I get in sticky situations too often to raise some marginal hands.

As I am sure you are aware aggression is a huge problem for me. I DO shut down when my flop Cbets are called often times. I really really need to work on this a lot. I have only recently started adding 3betting to my preflop strategies and I believe that will help a bit. My question is how the hell do you know when you are being floated? I see money disappear so fast when people call my Cbet on flop and turn and then I check river and they either check behind with second pair or bet and I fold.

I think on the button you culd use to raise a little more, You are raising the same amount from Button to UTG..you should be raising 10% + hands...try raisings more SCs small PPs dont be such a nit get in there and and not be able to be read. Ill comment some more in a little.


of course I am a donkey and dont read the super posts david makes so I repeat X_X..gg.

at 10NL you tend to get too many early callers so you pfr drops. There is little point in trying to steal with two early limper's and two left to play. By all means raise for implied odds to get ppl pot committed. Steals do exist but you're almost better off just letting the odds take the blinds and wait for the turn.

At this level ppl are bluffing heavily (very badly) and value gets paid off. Occasionally you get to take the blinds and cb's work - but essentially at this level NO-ONE believes you have a hand...

4BB at this level means to your opponents that you have AK so they will call with anything and if they will hold on. They can't put down. It's very lucrative but it is just cards and a little position.

What K stats show is value play....ABC poker... it ain't rocket science you just hit and run.

Aggression is drummed into all players now.. CB's are the norm ..ppl are still touchey around the turn.

IMO anyway...
