Learn To Mix Up Your PlayPoker Tip 4 Learn to mix up your play Are you a loose Or tight player or a aggressive player, Do you play the same way all the time or do you mix up your play. It pays in the long run to change your play and alter your tactics throughout the game because you want to make it especially hard for the other players to get a read on you. In live poker it is lot easier to read players, especially if the player is week, inexperienced player. Weaker players tend to make the same bet for the same cards each time, especially if this bet works the first couple of times that they do it. For example,the player is under the gun and raises 4 times the big blind. Everybody folds and he shows he had pocket Aces, later he does the same and it once again turns out he had pocket Aces, if the player now bets two times the big blind what do you know? Well, you now know that he doesn’t have AAs as he didn't bet 4 times the big blind So you can see how representing a good hand when you may have a weak hand would be very profitable! But don’t forget other players can get good hands too so you have to be prepared to fold every once in a while. The rule of thumb is not to be predicable. Mix your play a bit to keep your opponents guessing. It never hurts to play tight one minute and loose the next so put some mix into your play! |
