Super-Loose / Super-Aggressive!

OrionPro · #1 (**permalink**) 05-11-2006, 10:36 AM

I didn't do well in the last 10 tourneys or so (SnG, low-stakes)

So I'm trying out a superloose superaggy style and it works much better than expected. Is there any books/wisdom about this kind of playing style?

Maybe it only works cuz I'm at these low stakes....?

Check out Doyle Brunson's Super System 1 or Super System 2. He recommends an aggressive style of play.

I would recommend Super System 2 because it has sections on Omaha and a small section on tournament play. The no limit section written by Doyle is nearly identical between the 2 books.

Yeah, loose-aggressive is the Doyle Brunson style. Super System 2 No Limit Hold em section explain it particulary well.

But you got to understand perfectly his style otherwise you will simply lose your whole stack missing your bluffs.

I would descibe Brunson's method as tight-aggressive rather than loose-aggressive.

Yeah, that's the aggressive part. He reccomends playing solid starting cards; that's the tight part.

Obviously i wouldn't be able to overcome that statistic if I didn't always pad my stack by picking up all those small pot throughout the game

Could it be more loose ??

brunson is TAG.
i don think there are any bookks on LAG b/c it is much more difficult. basically you raise any un opened pot from decent position. and when out of position in a raised pot, you double barell alot as apposed to bet flop check turn.

I dont understand though

How can Brunson be into the pot in most of the small pot if he s playing tight ?

Gus Hansen and Daniel Negraneau both have books coming out....if they're not already out now. And doesn't Lindgren have a book out and isn't he LAG?
