Back in the day, this was called playing ABC poker. It works well on smaller table players because they will mostly hang themselves but not so much on bigger tables. I remember when I moved up in stakes, I had to up my game and start to study it properly. I used to run simulations on Excel and read a dozen poker books, mostly advanced odds and game theory. One thing I learned with poker was, that education never stops.
If you getting knocked back on the bigger tables, maybe try to be more selective of the table you are joining, a large average pot size will let you know lots of action and you'll be able to play tight with your hand selection but aggressively when you pick up a good hand. The same in reverse, if the table has a small average pot size, then you should play aggressively, widen your hand range and see more flops.
I've not played properly in years but if you SGS guys ever host a poker tournament or cash game, im down like Charlie Brown.
Nice. I had not heard of ABC Poker before but after looking it up, it does look like an earlier version of GTO. I play in tournaments so have very little control over my seating. Sometimes I can pick my starting seat, but the tournament director will move you around as the field gets smaller.
Not sure how SGS would get a game going, but I'd be open to it for sure. I know @silverd510 would be up for it too.
I was playing poker proper like 20 years ago so im sure the game has evolved levels since then.
There is a HIVE poker site, its not popular but leave it with me and i'll see if it is still in operation. If so, i'll contact the admin and see if i can get them to create a custom tournament for us. I'd prefer cash games but tournaments would be better for less experienced people to get their head around.
I'll keep you posted in our group DM mate
Ok, sounds good.
Which site is it? I saw one a while back, but I wouldn't use that tbh. Not sure it's active either.
I've been working on getting both cash games and tournaments onchain (not developing it myself though) and I'm optimistic
I’m in
