77 utg

A huge mistake many many players make at 2nl is that they call to much preflop and fold too much post. Ie, they are exploited very easily by just raising pre and continuation betting.

If i wanted to exploit this mistake without weakening my utg range too much, id probably add a bunch of pocket pairs and suited broadway hands. Pocket pairs mainly because they are extremly easy to play post flop oop: cbet--> did they fold? no? --> do i have set? no? --> fold

Also its not like we're gonna be called by 3-4 players every time...i know that certainly wasnt the case when i was there just 3 weeks ago. Also we arent gonna be floated too often so we'll know exactly where were at if they call a cbet.

I think the biggest winner at 2NL cbets ike 90%.. blackrain or somebody.

Kinda laughing at myself for calling anyone that plays 1 million 2nl hands a "winner"

I've played this guy. He's now a reg at 5NL. I'm not on my own computer right now so I don't have my HEM database. But he's good. He's got a tight range and he doesn't spew.

It's counter-intuitive, but the counter for loose/passive play is to bet/fold a lot. Build a lot of pots and build a strong feel for when the critical bet goes into the pot from the perspective of your opponent.

You can't bluff a calling station, but you sure as hell can bluff someone who plays loose on the small streets, a lot tighter on the big streets and won't play back at you light unless he has a hand or is running out of chips.
