I fold maybe more then it must be.
Very many bluffs, and when I bet, it's mostly a raise with ery good cards.
Indeed, the "tide agressive player" strategy.
In my 2nd cardschat tournament I have reached the final table, and won some $13, at PokerStars.
The 2 at FullTiltPoker, I was out soon, with the same strategy, but ery unlucky against all inners.
I finished 2 times with a high pair against 3/5 unsuited and 5/9 unsuited.
Maybe I played to agressive then, especially in the beginning of that tournaments.
But what is the right strategy? I don't now it.
What I have learn in the couple of month I play, is that I feel me better and better with my own strategy.
And the prizes? I think they come automatically, when you play the pokergame as you want to play.

Poker Master: You've come for poker wisdom, eager poker player?
(insert your name here): Yes, poker master.
Poker Master: Then, listen and learn for strategy is the key to winning. You must know a bad strategy before you know a good one. One bad poker strategy is to play too many hands. You will win more by folding more often. This sort of discipline is difficult for the novice poker player. The true expert poker players always recommend patience and discipline, and you'll be surprised after watching them in tournament play (not on TV)just how many hands they throw away.
(insert your name here): Thank you Poker Master. You are ery wise.
Poker Master: Go eager poker player, and pratice and use the poker wisdom you've learned and you will receive great rewards.

I think you can buy VP Strategy Master at zamzone.com for around $30 that will generate a playing strategy for different pay-out tables.
Maybe you could ask about it in the Poker forum.

Ya know this whole tight thing is making me sick.
Optimal strategy is exactly that optimal. That is the strategy behind tight aggressive. Ironically, when you hear someone complain about a guy, he is never a tight aggressive, he is always a loose aggressive.
Optimal strategy will win, but never pay the bills. You will always remain a few bets ahead.
Holdem is a game of EXPLOITIVE strategy. Which tends to embody a loose aggressive style. Loosen up just a little bit everyone. Give action and you will receive action. You open your opponents to make mistakes which you can exploit. You must also be aware that you are now playing sub optimally. In other words you are ulnerable to attack as well.

I play a consistant game of poker in MTTs. I have a consistant strategy, which changes as the tournament progresses and situations change.
I can go for an extended period of time where my strategy works 90% of the time. Then, like a light switching off, my strategy stops working, and I enter a losing period.
When I first started playing I would doubt myself. Now, when the bad times come, I just analyze the situations and see if I can learn something to improve my strategy.
Stuff happens. You have to look at how you play at a site over a longer period, and determine whether you are in a dark period, or there is something faulty in your play.

Im going to go against the flow of most of the posts here and suggest the article does have some merit. Sure, there are things here that I wouldn't do - for example I wouldnt typically limp with AK or QQ. But the central thrust of the article is to wait for big hands prior to putting big money in the pot, and especially not to overcommit of a single pair, which seems pretty sensible to me. The strategy is ery similar to another one espoused here...
No-Limit Texas Hold'em Strategy - Poker-Strategy.org
The strategy seems to be aimed at the low limits, where the play is ery loose and it is often it is hard to put people on a hand. and the authors themselves admit that it is not suitable for all games and especially higher stakes. I thought the way they described leaks and losing streaks was also interesting. So, I gained something from the article, even if I didnt agree with all of it.

Hi all,
Yes this strategy guide is much like many other strategy guides, it can come in useful just like any other guide. If the strategy was flawless you'd win much more than 50% of the time. There just isn't a poker strategy that's flawless.
In an ideal poker world you might be able to use the same strategy every time if you was playing the same 10 or 6 players every time. Trouble is sit-n-go's can ary so much you have to change your strategy nearly every time you play.
If you had 4 or 5 of the players playing exactly the same strategy it wouldn't work, you have to change according to the table and players on that table.
I play sit-n-go's irtually every day for about 6hrs and i've never stuck to just one strategy over the course of say 4 games or more.
You have to be prepared to change your play from game to game depending on the different players you meet. It also throws people for a loop if you can change your play drastically during the game.

It depends on the game. It's hard to play zero roulette with a losing (or winning) strategy. But there are certainly a lot of blackjack and ideo poker players who don't use perfect strategy. This is especially true in regards to zero blackjack, with strategy changes for the unique 5-card 21 bonus.

I do enjoy employing this technique on occasion. One reason is because it does make everybody at the table mad and can cause them to do something they shouldn't or wouldn't normally do. This strategy was actually recommended to me by a friend's dad who for a time was a professional poker and did well. He has used this strategy since he started playing online.

What should be posted here:
Topics with general poker content that aren't covered by any of the other boards. This may include, but is not restricted to...
- Poker news stories.
- Poker queries not related to strategy issues (such as issues with rules, questions regarding poker literature, and so on).
- Topics regarding poker on TV.
- General poker narratives.
- Any other topic relating to poker in general that does not fall under the specifics of any of the other poker boards.
Basic strategy posts or queries are also fine here, as the Poker Strategy forum is intended for more 'advanced' discussion. If you're not sure though, post it to the Strategy board.

Hyper-Agg/Tight strategy in the Beginning rounds

AK AQ all in
JJ I would bet Half My Stack (if no overcards on flop...All in)
10 10 Limp Raise Agg.
this strategy did well for me when I was a freeroller.
If you hit you will have plenty of chips to play effectively after the first break.....If anybody wants to add to this strategy you are more than welcome.

Because of the bonus, situations to watch out for are where there is a marginally better hand involving holding four cards, and a less good one holiding two cards - you might be encouraged to discard more cards.
Checking four to a flush/3 to a royal, the strategy with TQK, the lowest hand ranked above a 4 to a royal with two high cards is to hold the TQK. Checking with winpoker, this is indeed correct.

HH
you did not understand
what i was talking about.
If, say, you are plus $1000
and playing one last $100 bet,
then you should use the basic strategy
because you cannot go below zero.
However, if you are at zero (also
known as status quo),
then you wins are full,
but your losses are discounted.
Hence, the optimal strategy is modified.
Have you ever calculated the basic strategy yourself, huh?
Try that and you'll see the point.
