Message: [QUOTE="mrsnake3695, post: 449533, member: 11828"] There was an interesting thread a couple days ago about a loose player who stated he would call a big raise with say 6-8 suited because he knew that player had a premium and an if he hit or low cards came on the board he could make lots of money. There was a big back and forth over that playing style and I will not go over all those arguments here. Obviously different "styles" are needed at different times and at different types of games. A style that works for limit, won't necessarily work for no-limit and a style that works in ring games might not work in tourneys or sit N go's, etc. There is no one right way to play. I think the key is being able to adjust your "style" to the type of game and the players at your table. Sometimes a TAG style will work best, sometimes being a "maniac" will. For instance, I had noticed that although my MTT results were decent as well as my Limit ring games, my no-limit ring game results were pretty bad. After reading the other thread I started to loosen up my starting requirements, even agains raises, and found myself winning big pots with hands like 7 5 os and such. I also noticed that my big loses were with "premium" hands. I lost big with KK, AA and AK. The AA was raised preflop and called by 3 players. Flop came QJ9 rainbow and after some back and forth raises I lost a huge pot when villan turned over 10-8 os for a flopped straight. He was playing the style I was trying and won big with it, while I played that hand "standard" and lost a lot. I am constantly trying to learn in this game and my last few days playing no-limit ring games has been a real eye opener for me. It's early yet but it appears that playing a smart but "looser" game in no-limit cash games is the most profitable way to play. And no, I am not saying that's the way to play MTTs, SnGs, or limit games. I'm just saying that playing TAG in every type of game and every type of table is probably not the way to play to profit consistantly. [/QUOTE]
