yes i no im only 18 years old but ive played better than most play money players thru my years playin on full tilt n won some money in recent months
the 1 thing to look up on is the strength on the other persons hand
alot of players that first come in dont know how to read an opponent for nuthin they will worry only on there hand so this will be in ur advantage if u come across these type of players
the play money pretty much and most freerollers are tight and there betting patterns r very obvious when they have hit there hand. when u incounter these type (which u will see often if a very low limit game like .25-.50 game 5/10 play money or ne thing in between there) they will raise the amount they usually will raise pre flop half the time the other half they will raise 80% of there stack if hand is made its up to u to look up the timing of the bet and how much they put in every time they go in for raise when the flop comes out and your sitin on for example the game is a 250 sit n go
A
10
flop comes 2
A
10
ur opponent is on A
K
ur on the button so hes first to act if he puts in a large amount like his preflop raise 85-90% of the time he will only have top pair an amatuer player will not raise pocket 2s as hard most of the time pre flop and 10s i think they would of pushed all in pre flop or the average 4 times the bb bet
so if he puts in 450 pre flop u call him dont re raise see the flop when the flop hits let him do the betting he will most likely put in 480-950 mayb more if hes stupid he feels confident that his K kicker is gonna be good and take down a monster not relizin u have 2 pair so now its ur time to push all in cuz thats when u no hes committed to his hand when he puts in that large amount
thats the obvious 1 but heres wut most people love to do say ur on the button with A
J
and theres two other ppl in the hand and call u (sb,bb) flop comes A
10
Q
u got top pair with ur staight draw but watch out though ur dealin with a flush draw on the board and a staight draw its in ur best interest to see how they play this out if the sb (small blind) checks and the bb (big blind) raises 450 you can call the sb though raises 1,250 because he loves pissen u off he has just hit broadway the bb is a calling fiend loves to call ne bets this would be a good idea to fold
if u have just top pair with two raisers in front of u that r betting high amounts chances r ur dealin with sumthin more than a pair good time to fold
how to play aganist tight passive amatuer players
