Instead of thinking about what my exact hand is, i focus on who my opponent is. If they are a weak player I think about their range, and extract value via small bets or checking to induce, vs a good reg i focus on what my total range needs to do.
Zone is good way to get in volume.cplumley13 said:
Id play zone normally in terms of our opening ranges, and bluffs/etc.
But id play much tighter vs other's opens and vs their 3bets. (As people play wayyyy too tight.)
Cash games you focus on blind level, not buy-in, but if you were doing $1 buy-ins at .01-.02 (2nl) you could certainly start doing 2$ buyins at 2nl at 90$ and consider taking some $2.5 shot takes at 5nl, and move fully to 5nl at $150cristhiansantillan said:
How did you get so good? Do you attribute your success to hard work,study dedication and experience? Or do you feel that you have a natural talent for the game.
How important is learning GTO strategy? And how far has GTO strategy progressed since you we're first introduced to it?

What, in your opinion, are the necessary adjustments you make between tourneys and ring games.
I'm a tourney player at heart, but tourneys are taking too much time. A ring session for me usually lasts an hour or so. It used to be (3+ years ago) that a SnG would be over in an hour. These days that is closer to 2+ hours.
So I'm looking for a few points to focus on when changing to ring more permanently.
I play the US sites, except at ignition. Never did like that anonymous thing. So WPN, BOL/SB, and occasionally ITOP/JS.

Cash requires a lot more post flop play. Thus you need to player somewhat tighter overall preflop.dj11 said:
Most people play overly tight in cash, especially on turns and rivers.
Lots of great resources out there to learn, Upswingpoker is great place to start.
Hey Ryan, I'm noticing a trend playing 2NL ZOOM on Stars where players are frequently overbetting the pot either pre-flop or on the river by plowing in. I think I counted at least 4 instances tonight in 160 hands where I was three bet all in for at least 80BB, if not well over 150BB preflop.
I found myself frustrated and cut my session short as a result Whats' the theory behind this, if there is one and how do you think is the best way to combat it?
