Couple of ideas

[Toadstool]

Hi, been experimenting with a few things lately and thought i'd share them.

Say you play 4 or more tables - what do you think the merits of playing two different styles over the tables? you could colour code it by changing the deck to one colour for a LAG game and another colour for an extremely nitty game - assuming this is only going to be of any real benefit against regulars but nowadays most games are mainly regulars so...

Quick way to randomise your play - use the hand # to vary what you do - nobody would ever catch on.

On reraising - If you reraise i'm starting to think its better to bet ~50% of the pot. the pot size on the turn will generally still be about the same size as your or your opponants stack assuming 100BB's and you'll probably find your opponant has stuck around with a few hands he would otherwise have folded. If your bluffing and he has stuck around with less than TP - then thats fine because he's the one getting himself into a bad situation. Also your more likely to get played back at which isnt a good thing as long as your bankrolled for the game.

On 4-betting - I personally never 4 bet apart from exceptional circumstances such as 3 otheres in the pot and I have KK/AA etc. I'm pretty tight in calling 3 bets too even if I am being 3 bet light. Generall I'll call with pp <9's if the odds allow it and almost always with 10-AA and AK maybe AQs unless opponant is a total nit. I just dont like putting to much money in preflop without AA or KK, and I feel im losing value with a hand like JJ if i 4-bet - He's not calling with 1010. So i balance this with calling 3 bets with AA/KK. Bear in mind opponant almost always fires out <3/4 pot regardless of the board.

I think the first two are kinda donkish and I think you overestimate how much regulars 'cotton on' to your play.

I say just keep making +EV decisions where ever possible and play as many hands as we can.

#1 isn´t good. your style of play should depend on table conditions, lagg it up against the nits, lean back and wait for the right spot when ppl go crazy.

#2 might be okay. i personally use harrington´s randomizer.

i don´t understand #3. if you´re talking about flop play, it´s depending on villians betsize and boardstructure, if you want to keep villian in the hand or take it down right there etc...u can´t generalize it like that, make your bet big enough, so you´re maximizing value. if opp calls 1/2 pot 50% but psb´s only 10% it´s okay, if he´l calling psb´s still 30% you´d better bet big.

#4 4 bet, whenever you think you´re ahead and villian will call. if you´re that tight calling 3bets you´re giving up value and will get 3 bet even lighter.

Here's what I do randomize my play. I generally play 3-4 table, I usually focus on one table, getting reads, making moves, lagging up... The rest of the tables I just play standard. When I feel they are catching up, I pick the next table to lagg up and start playing standard on the first, enz... It comes naturally really.
