Preface
- Mix up ur starting range depending on the table, if a lot of loose/passive guys, make it tighter. If a lot of tight people, open up more hands.
- Bluffing less often (including semi bluffs), and value bet thinly with 1 pair hands, in loose games.
- In tighter games, exploit oponents tendency to fold more, semi bluff more as we find more fold quity.
* Loose players will search for an excuse to call, whereas a tight player will look for an excuse
to fold.
Table Selection
- Look for players that play to many hands, anything over 40% is great, 30% is fine too.
- Stacksizes: Full stacks to your right, short stacks and nits to your left.
- Losing/Break even Regulars: Feel free to join tables with them, develop strong reads. Don't play more than 4-5 tables. Avoid winning players.
- As a general guideline, better to play with a bunch of passive/weak/tight players than one super fish with 80% vip and 4 other regulars.
“Poker is simple, as your opponents make mistakes, you profit.”
- Against Loose/Bad players, generally you wnt to play straight forward solid poker
- Against Tight/Good players you want to mix up and play a more deceptive style. Do not make the mistake that every 20/17 multi tabling tag is tight AND good.
* Against these types of players you want to lean toward looser pre flop, and solid/tight postflop
* Let them make mistake, forcing them is not necessary.
Preflop
UtgUnder The gun (Utg)
- Your Utg range should be the tightest of the four non-blind positions.
- General starting range on a table of some fish and some regulars:
* 22+ (all pairs)
* ATs+ (meaning ATs, AJs, AQs, AKs) (s meaning suited)
* AJo+ (meaning AJo, AQo, AKo) (o meaning offsuit)
* 98s+ (meaning 98s, T9s, JTs, QJs, etc)
* KQo
* KQs
* KJs+ (KJs and Aqs [which was already covered]) (meaning suited 1 gappers)
- This will account for 13% of hands and is a conservative but very solid and profitable preflop
raising range.
Adjusting
Loose games
- Add hands like KJo or ATo, because you can make 1 pair type hands and extract value from
players calling with weaker top pair hands or second pair hands.
Tight games
- Include hands such as 65s+ or A5s. These hands widen your range against likely better players and make you a more difficult and tricky opponent.
Stack Sizes
- Against short stacks, avoid 22-55 89s type hands, replace with Kjo, Qjo, A9s etc. Because these players simply looking for top pair and pushing all in
Middle Position (MP)
- Very similar to UTG, but you can incorporate a few more hands
* 22+ (all pairs)
* A9s+
* ATo+
* 98s+
* KQo/KJo/KQs/ KJs/KTs
This accounts for about 15% of total hands. Just like UTG this range can be manipulated
based on the game quality.
Adjusting
Loose games:
- You generally want to avoid things like A9o, as its potential is very small. Just like UTG you
can still profitably raise 98s and T9s, just do it less frequently.
Tight Games:
- These games you can open up more from this position, include;
* 65s+
* A8s, A5s
* QTs
Isolating
- Have to be careful to isolate from this position. Even the fish are at their tighest range when limping utg
- Look at the table, if 2 aggro people behind you, err on the side of folding, to avoid marginal spot.
- If there are fishes in the blinds, and you don't get 3bet, played back at a lot behind you, go for it
3 betting:
- In general you should be 3betting far more in position that OOP.
- The only person you can 3bet in MP is UTG. You need to be very cautious when 3betting an
UTG opener, because this is where their raising range is likely the tightest.
3 Bet range:
* AKo/s
* Aqo/s (situational)
* Ajs (situational)
* KQs (situational)
* AA
* KK
* QQ
* JJ (situational)
* TT (situational)
The situational are very marginal, and player dependant, and you should be more inclined to do it in position.
Light 3 bets
* 56s-QJs
* Axs (x should = 5 most often, as you will be able to flop gutshot+FD+over type
hands,but 4-T are all fine as well)
* 22-77
* KQo
* Ajo
- It will generally be more profitable to call with small pocket pairs, but once in a while they make good light 3 bet candidates
- You generally want to 3bet an UTG opener with 56-T9s or Axs because with the SC's
you will generally avoid second best hands and have tremendous flop potential.
* The Axs
hands will block combinations of AA and AK (which will help avoid him 4betting you)
* Avoid all other hands as they will form second best hands
often and get you in marginal spots.
- We want to 3bet with a 80/20 ratio, 80% for value, and 20% for bluffs.
Stack Sizes
- Just like UTG adjust your raising ranges depending on stack sizes, avoid hands like 22-66 and 98s, and instead substitute in
hands like KJo, QJo, A9s, ATo

Was available for free on his site. But it seems to not exist anymore.
"Mix up ur starting range depending on the table, if a lot of loose/passive guys, make it tighter. If a lot of tight people, open up more hands."
Also dont totally agree with this. You should play more hands the softer the table is and lesser, the tougher the table is, doesnt that much depend on tight or loose. |

Soft isn't the same as loose though.
When people are really tight/nits, they will fold to 2 barrel 100% when they don't have anything, and give up on flops when they don't get a piece almost always, and play really few hands so you get all the blinds as well.
In loose games, u have these calling station fishes, so if you're playing speculative hands, tricky hands, doesn't matter when u get 2-3 callers, and can't maneuver with the hand, and often the loose guys aren't full stack, also a reason to stick to high cards and medium or higher pairs. I think!! |
