Message: [QUOTE="ZackK19, post: 1084802, member: 50570"] A couple days ago I was talking about the ultra LAG style I was using.Today I decieded to take the TAG approach except with a twist I would'nt be like most TAG poker players and raise with only pairs and face cards.For example if everybody limped or raise, I would raise or reraise with ugly cards and play them hard after the flop by using postion and to mix up my game .Example of using position with an ugly j3 in mirco.

I can reach that.So far I'm off to a good start. What the whole motto through this post is that newbie that can't get ahead need to fix the holes in their game.Everybody need to play a mix game to keep ahead of the compeition.Beyond contray you will bump in to some of the players you play again online.If you play a mix game you will never be figured out.
