Playing Style

I play slow but i try to switch it up!!I think its the most effective but you can throw away alot of chips by trying to check it to a raise!!!which do yous think is the most effective??

Checking in the hopes of raising does backfire sometimes. Recently I have been leaving a lot of chips on the table by attempting to check-raise only to have the other player check it as well. Sometimes a small bet that is hard to fold against is better to get a little more value from a hand than trying to check raise and ending up with no more value at all on the river.

I play very aggresivly when i have a good starting hand. In my experience slow playing a good hand tends to backfire. If I think im winning, I will bet accordinly. I dont want anyone seeing any cheap or even free cards.. If you give somecone the chance to cath up you could lose alot of chips.. I would rather win a small pot than lose a big one.. good luck at the tables..

I am selevtively agressive. AKA "tight"
I don't believe in making idiotic plays unless my stack is dead.

There are 4 kinds of poker players:

Passive-Loose.
Aggresive-Loose.
Passive-Tight.
Aggresive-Tight.

You have to be carefull with the last group

Enjoy your hands!

there is no certain way you should play the way to play is to ADJUST you have to be able to adjust your playing style to the players who have sat down to take a beating if you can learn to adjust your game to play against the players at the table you will notice your bankroll will grow but of course you will run into a bad beat every now and then just shake it off act like it didnt even happen concentrate on the next hand....good luck

ill slow play once in a while but ive found that the best way to play is aggressively... if you notice, most players on tv play aggressively and they are the ones making it to wpt

agressive style is the only style...if you are not agressive people can read you much more easily. especialy in tournaments, if you wont play agressive you wont win the big prizes or money at all.
