Many of them saying three bet light, double-triple barrel, and just basically be super aggressive against all the weak tights. I love playing this way but seem to get my ass handed to me whenever I try being to agressive at this level and take people off of one pair+ hands. I have also just finshed reading the 2nd volume of Harringtons no limit hold em cash game book which has a section on beating low level online NL games and suggests same type of play. Basically do not worry about being deceptive and just play super straight foward and crush the TPTK guys who are willing to stack off when you hit something. Is there a happy medium at this level (25nl)? What forms of aggression do people find works at 25nl?
You can bluff nits. If you're trying to bluff nits and it's not working, you're either getting really unlucky, picking the wrong spots to bluff, or misreading your opponents.

u want to make money in uNL?



Just play as many pots with fish as possible. Identify the fish, isolate, and let them make all the mistakes, and just don't stop until they've tilted off everything. I guarantee u everything else will come along.

i'm confused at the showdown value part.

If I have 74, and my opponent has ace high, why would I not want to bet the turn and give my opponent a free card? What's this about showdown value?

The only reason I can see not to bet, is if I think my opponent is ahead.

Thanks for this. It took me a long time to figure this stuff out. They keep talking about valuebetting in the DC videos, but never define it. They do the same thing with ranges, but never explain it.

ah, didn't even know there was an existing .pdf, I haven't read the whole thread, but u can create your own pdf that way, and edit it to to suit your needs.

I have started to copy paste threads and create pdf's out of them myself, works well to create an accessible reference when u don't always have the net available.

Yeah, OP is definitely wrong, betting 74 on K224 is fine because WE DO NOT HAVE SHOWDOWN VALUE vs anything that would call our turn bet. In reality 74 on k224 is a semi-bluff vs pocket pairs TT-55 and a lot of those pocket pairs will interpret the 2nd barrel as a value bet from the K and fold. This is like that bad "check back the turn with a draw advice" where you pretty much never put your opponent to a difficult decision and always put yourself to a difficult decision for no reason. If you think of your hand as a draw more than a pair here you're much better off, if the example was like QT on K22T he'd actually have a point - but the worth of SD value is generally relative to the size of your pair and how far villain's range is beneath yours. SD value is really only applicable to way ahead, way behind situations and OP's example definitely is not it.

Haven't tried any of this out but I am currently a losing player(though I can and have comfortably played 25nl and won buyins in each sessions just to donk it away) and this has been the most well rounded piece of advice on poker I have seen to date. It may not be a lot but I just cant describe how great of a post I thought it was.
