Stages Of A TAG

took this from notedpokerauthority.com

gd poker blog. u guys should take a look. the below article 25points is just a summary. PM me if u want access to the blog articles.

Stages of a TAG

1. Hrmm, this K5s looks kinda good
2. I will never play anything but these 18 hands under any circumstances
3. I need to fold postflop if I don’t hit a hand. And I need to fold to pressure if I don’t have a great hand.
4. Maybe I can loosen up a little bit in position. I can play more hands because I know how to fold them postflop.
5. I need to bet my good hands hard so I can get value for them.
This is basically the evolved stage of a “nit”. Tight preflop, slightly looser in position, and mainly putting in serious money postflop only with strong hands. Nits can make money, but they need to really multitable hard to get any kind of real traction.
6. I can semibluff decent draws postflop with essentially no added risk.
7. C-betting is much more powerful if you follow it up sometimes with turn barrelling.
8. I should 3-bet more hands preflop for value.
9. I can now play a few more hands from all position because bluffing makes bad hands profitable sometimes.
10. I need to adjust my preflop game to my opponents. That means not folding as much to frequent 3-bettors, calling more on the button against light openers.
11. I should look for small pots that nobody in particular seems to want and attack them.
This is where a lot of the TAG regulars in microstakes fit in. This is also about where most of what I write and produce picks up.
12. I need to adjust my postflop play somewhat to my opponents. That means getting it in with stuff like top pair against bad or loose players.
13. I can make money by stealing more preflop. I can steal more loosely from the button, and I can 3-bet light from the button and blinds.
14. I can also get carried away and start opening too many hands from all positions.
15. I can combat light 3-bettors with light 4-bets and light 4-bettors with light 5-bet shoves.
16. Double barrelling can be quite effective, and sometimes I should resort to firing three barrels.
17. I can take aggrodonks who bet every flop off their hands with well-timed raises and floats.
18. I should seek out bad players and try to isolate them to play as many pots as possible with them.
19. Preflop hand values usually depend far more on the situation than on the intrinsic value of the cards.
20. The size of the pot determines how aggressive I need to play and how committed I am to the pot.
21. I should look for large pots that people seem to have given up on and shove my money in.
22. I can value bet on the river much lighter against bad players and expect to get called by worse hands.
This is about where you need to be if you want to play online poker for a living at the $1-$2 level or so. At this stage players usually vary from loose TAGs to LAGs. Virtually everything I write and produce is designed to get people from stage 11 to stage 22.
23. I need to focus on line balancing. Reading hands lets me find unbalanced lines in my own play and in my opponents’ play.
24. Through obvservation I can determine roughly what level my opponent plays at and out-level them by one level
25. I can make seemingly drastic adjustments to my game to exploit opponents playing an unbalanced strategy.
And more…

i feel this is 1 of the situations that no matter what i do i'm always losing my 50bb. probably should have just bet normally OTT but that would mean i would check/shove or shove OTR. line check on the turn?

NL25 FR QQ BvB on T4TTK


http://www.pokerhand.org/?5856945

villian is fishy. OTT when the T came it decreases the likelihood of him having quads and KK AA were unlikely due to PF action. OTR i didn't think K was in his range cos he called 2 streets. the range i put him on was 4x/55-JJ OTR. should i have b/f OTR instead?

How to label my posts?

http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=44498

How do I label my posts?

The Basics

When you're writing a post, you'll have a space at the bottom of the form marked "Labels for this post." Enter whatever labels you like, separating them with commas. You can also click the "show all" link to display a list of labels you've used previously. Then just click on the labels to add them.



When you publish your post, the labels will be listed with it. Clicking any of the labels will take you to a page containing only posts with that label.



Advanced Use

You can easily change the formatting used here by editing your blog's layout. You can also add a list of all your labels in the sidebar of your blog, sorted alphabetically or by frequency of use.




Labels are handy if you blog about a lot of different subjects, since readers can then choose to view all of your posts on, say, dancing at once. Or politics, or knitting, or whatever you happen to be writing about. If you have a team blog, you could also give each member their own label, so you could easily read all the posts by any one of them. Feel free to come up with other creative new uses as well!

Note: The following characters cannot be used in labels: &<>@!,

Is it worth it to call PF ?

i remember the rule of 5-10 from here

http://archives2.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=3410992&an=&page=&vc=1

Ok, so that's how you play open preflop poker at this level. It's going to be a lot of folding, but you need to play tight at these tables, because no one ever folds. The situation is a little different if someone has acted in front of you. This does take a little bit of judgement on your part. You need to decide whether or not this player is tight. If they are, you need to respect their raises. Be careful if someone raises from first position, as this is usually a good hand. You also need to be aware of stack sizes at this point and follow the 5-10 rule. What is the 5-10 rule? Glad you asked. The 5-10 rule means that you should call a raise with a speculative hand (suited aces and small pairs) if you're investing less than 5% of your stack (or his, whoever's is the smallest), and should fold if you're investing more than 10%. If it's somewhere inbetween you need to use your best judgement. Here's your standards.

if say i do hit the set , probably only one of the stacks would be mine , so should i setmine under this sort of conditions?

Flop call was expected , BB coming in wasn't expected.

Flopped top 2 on a pretty wet board , cbet and got raised.
Flat so that draws might continue to barrel if he raised on a semi bluff , his AF is more then 1 , so draws are easily in this range , i am ahead of straight draw , flush draws , and lower 2 pairs.

On the turn i decided to pot control and checked , a 6 could hit both flush draws and straight draws he has , what should my plan be ?

Goal setting

Idea here is to post a graph + whether you meet previous month's goals or not / Set goals on a monthly basis
would be good way to motivate yourself.

e.g.


My December Goals:
i am going to play 1K hands / day. Look at my range , review 3 - 5 hands before i start each 1K hands session
Limit to play : 25NL until the profit buffer from 10NL fizzles ( thats like another 4 - 5 BI)
Education : going to reread all the micro limit archives.



PS : Also invite yourselves by going to settings :
Log in as Admin account
go under settings : permission , invite your GMAIL account.
go your gmail , click the link , login the invite and you are ready to post as your own identity

How to post Hand Histories

The purpose is like next time you have a hand , you can look through everything to see if such a hand has been encountered before

Suggestion is to post it this way:
[Originator][Limit][Table][Effective stacks][Hand][IP/OP]
[your image][his image][Board texture][Plan with stats and reason][ Line taken]
[Hand History with any site][The question you want to ask]
e.g.
[Chenghao][NL10][FR/SH][$10][AKs][IP]
[Tag][Fish][K74r][Plan was to check the Flop as if i bet now , i will just win the minimum , but if i bet turn and river , hands like 88 - QQ might call , while i can get value from hands like KQ , KJ or even KT , i want to let other worse hands in as well , given how safe and dry the board is , i can risk giving a card without too much trouble. Its a dry board so given any aggression from the fish , it would probably mean 2pr][ b/3b , x , b/c , x/c ( if raised ) or bet (if not raised)]
[Sample Hand History] [The question you want to ask]

1 - Image includes
Fish at least 2 varients , 1 calls all the way.
2nd fits and folds at a certain street
Tag  1) those who raise or fold only
2) those who do call sometime with various hands.
weak tight rocks , tight pre , tight post
Lag Traditional ones loose pre , tight post
Peelers ( will float often too)
Maniacs ( aggressive at all streets)

Line taken includes
C - call , X - Check , R - raise , F - fold , B - bet , D- donk / lead , Cbet
Flop texture
A94r ( rainbow)
27Kd ( 2 diamonds)
Q7Acc ( 3 clubs)

Before posting a hand , search for similar hands and compare it to your hand.
Don't give away the results or by suggesting ( e.g. How did i play this wrongly)
Balance winning / losing hands
Go through the hands yourself first before posting
1 Hand , 1 Post

breakeven pot odds

We are again playing $100NL, however, our opponent only has $20 left in their stack. We raise to $7 and our opponent 3-bets all-in to $20. We now have to call $13 to win a $28.5 pot ($20 + $7 + the SB and BB), giving us pot odds of 2.2 to 1.

isn't breakeven pot odds supposed to be call amt / call amt + pot size? in this case should be $13 / $28.5 + $13 right?
