Im playing in my first texas holdem NL tournament soon and have a couple of question about stratedgy..
What is the best way to go into this? Should I start off playing very select hands and let the other players knock each other out or should I play agrressive?
This will not be in a casino, it is like a private club putting it on..Around 36 people, 6 tables, six people at each table.. I have played holdem for around a year now, and play online frequently..
I have just started playing Omaha... And well I know in holdem a good % to i aim for is around 25% flops seen.. I have played around 6 Omaha ts and made final table of 2 of them...my 2 most recent ...BUt i see the flop like 190 out of 200 times lol.....THat surely must be too high..
What is a guideline to work with.
I was playing 3-6 the other day and I couldn't put anyone on a thought much less a hand.
I held AK and the flop came K53 rainbow. I had top pair with the best kicker and I wasn't too worried about the straight. I played it out and ended up losing cuz someone was holding 53. sigh.
Right after that, I held AJ and the flop came AAJ. Okay, this is too good. Who the hell is going to pay me off with this flop? A couple of people actually. The second best hand was J5o. I checked the flop but bet out, raised, and reraised on the turn and then he still smooth called on the river.
The very next hand, I sat out but saw someone else at the table win a hand holding J3.
Is this a new trend? If you hold a J, play it out regardless of the other card? I'm being facetious of course. This was by far the weakest 3-6 table I've ever seen.
Some people utilize the "play any two cards" strategy, maybe that guy was using that strategy and happened to get Jx twice in a row.
It was 2 different guys. But I know what you mean. I know any low limit table is bound to have at least one guy playing junk but this one had at least 3. Makes you wonder how many ridiculous hands you never get to see, huh?
Typical "no foldem" holdem sounds like.
Was the guy that beat you w/ 5-3 playing his big blind into an unraised pot?
