Took the advice given in the last thread. Recognized that while 54s in the CO is a perfectly fine hand to play, and has potential for iso'ing against competent online regs, raising this in a live game is just pure spew. So I started overlimping a lot, from MP to LP. I think the worst hand I raised the button with was JTo vs 2 limpers. My preflop raise size was dependent upon who was in the pot and what I thought they would call. I actually got a lady to call $150 pre after she put in $20 with KTo. Even more interesting was I got the same guy at my table from the other night who abuses position constantly. I decided he was borderline maniac status and that trapping would be better than brute force. I snapped off 3 multi-street bluffs and he became visibly frustrated.
Day1: -$40
Day2: $970
Day3: $190
Day4: -$1700
Day5: -$1420
Day6: $635
_____
Total: -$1365

Consider that snapcalling might tip him off |

+1,
Against decent regs you have to worry about your tells in every situation. In situations where it's obvious to call or fold, don't snap or make the decision seem like it was easy to make because you'll make villains realize their own exploitative tendencies. Take the same amount of time, look like you're actually thinking, and then do the action.
GJ on the improvements so far though. |

I mis-used the word "snapped off", mentally I snapped it off fully prepared for the bluff, but I made sure to do the silent hollywood treatment and just stare at the board for a good 10 seconds, maybe glance at him once to see what he's looking at, shuffling my chips, and then just calling. I kept it consistent. |

I think it does give away something actually. The lie/story you told on previous streets is immediately scrutinised under a different light.. chat, all your mannerisms and movements and the strength of your hand matter. Obv call fast if you would be slowrolling him.. but in this case "I snapped off 3 multi-street bluffs and he became visibly frustrated.". |

People that play way too aggressive in low limit live games usually have an ego problem, it's not so much about giving away your range, it's more about not crushing their soul so that cease to play aggressive. The longer it takes opponents to adjust the better. |
