Against a Bettor
Hello,
I’m just 14 years old, actually almost 15 now and I’ve been playing Poker for some time now. Well, I know the game itself is very addictive so I decided to only play $1, $2, or $5 games. Normally, I play with 3-5 players. At times for a dollar I go one on one. I remember one time I only have 200 chips therefore all of us at the table agreed to divide stuff evenly depending on how many players were there, we typically play with 20 chips a piece, and to keep it simple, each chip worth a quarter. To have pot every time, we then just played with antes.
If I were to base it in a certain basic holdem strategy article I’ve read, two of my opponents then were loose aggressive, were actually raising pre-flop and checking every time.
In your opinion, should I re-raise them with a good pre-flop hand next time around? Most of the time when I feel they have something good I’d fold and they’d have my antes. At times when I have an okay preflop hand, I’d call them however on the flop I’d face the odds, fold and then lose majority of my chips. However sometimes they don’t have anything good to show. Any thoughts? I badly need your expertise now, please help me.
I’ll be glad to hear from you soon.
Thanks and more power!
Warm regards,
Brax
Brax,
Yes, reraise them and push your strong hands. Also, when you have speculative hands, take a look at the flop and when you do connect, push your advantages. Overall, I would probably play a little tighter in this game. Now if this is a limit game, open up your hand ranges a bit depending on position and see a few more flops.
