I am a US player and quit playing poker about a year ago when the legislation was passed. I'm about to buy back in again and thought I'd try to get some tips on how to improve my game. These are all hands from $.50/$1 played on various sites about a year ago.
I know I need to play better from the blinds. What are some general strategies when someone's on a steal? Should I call with most hands and stay until the river if I hit a pair/have an A? How agressive should I be when I hit let's say middle pair (ie raise it up and possibly scare him away since he most likely has nothing or check/call to let him bluff at it?
I noticed that the number of limit games (on Full Tilt at least) have drastically gone down from a year ago. How has the game changed? Is around the same ratio of fish as compared to a year ago just less players or are there a lot more TAGs now than before? Let me know if you want to see anything else to help with the analysis.
