Message: [QUOTE="PoKeRFoRNiA, post: 1350212, member: 51710"] Playing cards is not a profitable way to play. Playing your opponent is a profitable way to play. During bubble, when a small blind constantly shoves all-in on your blind, majority of the time, your queen high, king high is a better hand. Folding is not a profitable way to play. Playing ABC/nit strategy will make you go broke when you are card dead and not get premium hands. I've been calling lot of button/sb's all-in bets based on their previous plays and amazingly I found myself ahead most of the time. Hands like Q5, K2, and sometimes J5 are good hands too. Before watching Lex Veldhuis, I was a donkey playing ABC/nit poker just like almost every online players. When I'm shoved all-in and I'm holding Queen 5, I would fold just because of the fact that Q5 is a bad hand. But now, I stepped out of that rat race and play my opponents. And I thank Lex Veldhuis everytime I make these calls. When I make these calls, I happen to be ahead most of the time and win, everyone at the table are afraid of me and will think twice before playing back at me. They'll be afraid to shove against me. I love reading chatboxes filled with barks about my call when they've shoved with much inferior hands. Of course there are times when I'm ahead but lose, or when I'm behind but happen to suck out, but loosening up is profitable because you give a very strong image to everyone in the table, implying "dun f--k with me". Once I make these calls and win without sucking out, so many people fold to my blind because they're afraid. If you keep folding, they're just gonna keep shoving against you and you become the reall donkey who can get bullied around easily. If you stand up with any face card rag and it holds up, whole table becomes afraid to play back at you second time. [/QUOTE]
