Ive learned to drop all starting hand requirements and just let her rip. I will play any cards remotely connected. Remember 72os isnt really that big of a dog to any other two random cards. I once heard Phil Gorden say its raise or fold headsup. I altered that to sometimes limping and even reraising with nothing... It also depends what my opponent is doing. Ideally Im not playing the cards at all. Im playing the player and trying to get them out of their comfort zone by changing gears. Ive become more aggressive yet more patient at the same time.
You have to remember more often then not, no one has connected on the flop. The person who bets at the pot is often gonna take it down. Thats why position is always important headsup. |
