I 4bet bluffed twice and it worked, and then I 4bet with A9 after a LRR I knew was FOS - not sure if that's a bluff or a value raise and lost to A8 on a flopped dead man's. After playing this style a bit, I believe this kind of thing is not necessary at these levels to win a healthy profit. I actually went from ~9PTBB/100 to about 2BB/100. I'm sure I picked lots of wrong spots, but I've learned that I at least should not be trying to play like GP. |
some of those guys. some of cole souths.
the thing is I'm sure I could make more 8-table TAGing at those levels, but that bores me to no end. However I think I can successfully play this style well enough at two tables to make NL an interesting break from my limit pursuits.
my goal is to move up and be playing 3/6 NL as a regular break from limit within a month or so. And I think I have a better shot at doing that as a well practiced focused LAG, then I do trying to be a multi-tabling rock. For one I get waaaay to bored playing TAG NL to ever make it too profitable because I make stupid plays and curiosity calls that don't fit with my image.
but playing this way is very similar to playing limit for me, and it fits the way I want to play poker well.
but thanks for the advice, and I definitely am practicing up at 1/2 before trying this at 2/4+.
