Even though I do not plan to play poker for my only source of income, I do desire to be as knowledgeable as Doyle, T.J., the Professor and the rest of the gang concerning the theories and stratergies that govern No Limit ring games.
None of the books that I have found conerning No Limit holdem provide the information that I am really looking for. They give information concerning strategic play but not the theory that helps you understand how to decide which stratergy to use.
For example: Book "A" says with KK in early psoition make a standard raise. Book "B" says to limp with the intention of reraising. Book "C" says to limp x percentage of the time and to raise y percentage of the times. Book "D" says it depends and then fails to explain how to evaulate the situation so you can decide what to do. I am not looking for someone to tell me what to do, I am trying to learn how to evaulate the situation so that I come to the most correct decision.
Based on every thing I have learned so far,when it comes to No Limit Ring Games it seems the most important factors are who are your opponents and what is your position! In the example above you would limp with aggressive players behind you and raise with passive players behind you (I think).
I would like to start a thread discusing one stratergy at a time and the therories that determines the most correct way to use that stratergy from early, middle, late and blind positions against the different types of players (loose, tight, passive, aggressive and so forth).
For example: I know how to check rasie, but would like to discuss check raising from the before mentioned positions against the before mentioned types of players.
Is this the right place to post my questions and start this thread?
[note from tetsuo: yes it is!
