Playing Against Extremely Tight Players

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

There would be times that you’ll find yourself against players who would wait for a good hand before reacting. This would lead to no action whatsoever on the table. Believe it or not, this is a good thing. You might not win a big pot in an instant but you can build a good stack over time. Try to take charge of the table if you can. Extremely tight players can be easily bluffed. As time goes by, these players might become much looser so you have to adjust.

Aces Drop to Threes

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Carl is playing in a tournament when he drew pocket aces. He decided to slow play it and raise 100 chips pre-flop. Three players called. On the flop was 3-8-10 rainbow. Thinking his hand is strong, he went all in. Everyone folded except for one guy who had 3-8 off suit. The turn was a Jack and the river was a 3. Pocket rockets lost it for Carl.
