No, I don't have a plan for a determined game, I mean I have many plans inside my harder mind and I follow my mood and table/hand timing to play whatever plan it suggest to me to do. Many times I lost and win playing tight, the same manner as playing loose, maniac sometimes, and all those stiles push me towards the way I carry now, and I'd like to share this.
What about you, do you have a plan!

I would never enter a game without a plan. A plan for how I will begin playing, and for how I will adjust to the play I encounter.

I would call this not a plan but a tactic of the game. And when I sit down at the table, I change my game depending on the table and the number of players at the table. There is a different tactic for each case of the game. It would be wrong to play at cash tables as if you were sitting in a tournament.

playing poker I don't think you can have a plan, maybe just a certain game still and some right decisions made at key moments in the game :)

I have certain things/ plays that I guess you could say I have planed, however 90% of my gameplay remains to be having fun and going with the flow.

You must adapt to the different tables but you must have a plan or a defined style and in the course of adapting to the poker table, and it all comes down to making the right decisions, obviously you will not play a freeroll like a money tournament etc. . This is where maybe the way of the game is changed a lot:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:

I don't think it is possible to follow a single plan in poker or our strategy, but the distribution, the level of the players, their movement and our position at the table determine that.

Good morning, in my case I would not play a game if I did not have a plan, I think one should take some factor and carry it out. Have a solid game strategy and with that perfect it.

a plan, my plan is to try to gain the stack at the beginning and then risk more with less strong hands, trying to steal blinds and bluff

I think it is good to have plans, the problem is how to implement them properly, that is the most difficult part.

Hello.
I always have a plan.
My plan is to be patient, focused and disciplined. My plan always works and it brings me good results.

What about you, do you have a plan!
the only tip I have is that you play within the limit of hands playing with patience, but when you get a good hand open 2x 3x go all out with good hands, another tip always play in a cut off position, in small, just completing blinds in big blind always play with high hands, suited or with connections between them, making a straight

Hello everybody.
The plan implies the order of actions that need to be done, how can a tournament be played according to a pattern? The players change, the pace of the game changes, the strategy changes. No, I don't have a definite plan.

Generally I have a strategy, but every game is different and generally the circumstances are different!

I have a plan. A few years ago, I planned not to play with junk, and I don't play. The plan works, the bankroll grows. :)

It depends largely...

Just like you there are days that depends on my mood.

But generally speaking, I have a "pattern" to follow, I start tight and closer to the bubble, looser...
Varies with stack as well.

We can say that in a way, I have a plan. lol

It's a very good approach.
