We all know what it means to steal the blinds. I have been playing alot lately out here in Cali. I have realy concentrated on playing position and the proper bet sizing.

I have also notice that having a weak player to my left is a huge advantage. When I get a feeling that the guy on my left is very weak I will raise 8 out of 10 times when he's on the button. He folds than I have good position. It like getting the button 2 times per round. I love doing that.


Also I have noticed the best way to tell if a player knows what he's doing is the sizing of thier bets. I love it when they price you in on after the flop and turn than bitch when you come over the top of them on the river. They complain about getting rivered. I never ever tell them that they priced me in the whole way. I also give the impression of how lucky I got on the river.

I also hate it hate it hate it when someone else will tell them what they did wrong. What an ass he'd rather look like a poker expert than just take thier money. What an idiot.

button potato

i love guys like you, cuz if you're to my right, and you're in a pot, then that means I'm in too, and I will outplay you time and time again after the flop. It makes poker so easy that way.

I have finally been starting to understand this and how to use this to your advantage when you bluff.

Way to totally miss the point. I said a WEAK player. When the guy only plays big strong cards no matter what position he is in he is a WEAK player. Now when a guy will play the button knowing that he has position and will better be able to figure out the hand after the flop even if he doesn't have the stongest starting hand he is NOT a WEAK player.

Geeeeeez please try to read

BTW I am a winning player that does pretty good.

No I want the better position. That is much more value than having another player in the hand. I have learned my lesson on what I can do with the button with bad players.
