Message: [QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 5627908, member: 427881"] Took me a while but made a good dent in the book now - thanks again John it’s great. I’d say it’s the “softer” side away from pure theory and maths that has really helped At the start of the week I spent some time on the player types chapter and then only played 1 or 2 tables max for the rest of the week, tagging everyone at my tables and making decent notes on their characteristics. I can now very quickly spot the fish at my tables and exploit them heavily which has led to a couple of 3-5 buyin winning sessions in a row. Fundamental change to my winrate - albeit small sample I’m playing much smarter and more exploitatively thanks to this framework for quickly assessing players. Clearly the focus of the chapter is on identifying weak traits to exploit, of which there are several and quite specific. At a higher level is there a simpler set of categories you think of (I’m thinking 5/6 colour codes I can tag players with) that give a very quick sense of how to approach. To me the typical LAG/TAG/Fish isn’t descriptive enough for how to exploit. Would it look something like: - Nit / Rock (will overfold but watch out when they fight back - Fish (Wide/weak range - overfolds) ie your Ax players - Fish (Wide/weak range - over aggressive) ie your raise non premiums and other generally aggressive with weak holding players such as bets unimproved - Sticky (your flush chasers and call raises weak) - Whale or Maniac (any two cards and get lots of money in weak) Be interested to get your thoughts on a smaller set of groupings that can be exploited in similar ways [/QUOTE]
