Well without that in mind when you sit down at your computer, and decide to fire up one of those sessions just keep in mind the cheer outlined in the title. B--------E---------AAAAAAAAAAAAGRESSIVE!

I know you guys hear this (everywhere from untold people, (but I haven't done a pooh bah and I my as well reiterate it), but then you think "but fonkey what spots should I be aggressive in?" Well listen up little homies, NO ONE AT UNL ADJUSTS!!!!!!!!! Okay maybe there is the .0000232% that do occasionally 3 bet QJs when you're running 50/40 but generally they do not.

Okay, so what they don't adjust? Okay then how do you exploit weak/tight players? Aight, so you want more answers. Think of me as a whiter vanilla ice spitting hot poker knowledge.

The key is 3betting, opening a wide range preflop, and double the **** barreling. I was experimenting a bit playing hands as a 28/25/5, a 19/16/3, and a 14/11/2 and let me tell you MAYBE A TOTAL OF ONE OUT OF 400-500 PEOPLE ADJUSTED! That's right you heard me. I had like a 45% attempt to steal and no one played back.

Once you get past being an aggressive player preflop, you have to continue that post flop. Just listen to me, double barrel THEY DO NOT ADJUST! Seriously you might feel uncomfortable at first double barreling A7 on a J 8 4 3 board but don't worry they almost always fold. And if a player c/c's OOP bet that **** in position too.

Okay, but what if they adjust? They don't. You sure? yeah. Positive? Yes.

Okay, now you want some more tricks up your sleeves. 3 bet those *****s. But what if they adjust? They don't. Positve? yes. Sure? Yes. 3bet and cbet.

In my awesome hypothetical thread http://forums.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=80358 speedlimits says "betting these seems pretty silly." Which I somewhat agree with. Intuitively he brings up the point people are so weak/tight you shouldn't be bet/calling overpairs. So if bet/calling strong overpairs is wrong, how does that help me?

Well for bet/calling overpairs to be wrong that means they only stack off with AA/KK/sets/2pair postflop in this situations. Okay so how does that help me? 3bet and cbet homies.

I think I covered a lot of things that many uNL players probably overlook. Just remember guys instead of thinking about railing the hot cheerleader remember the chant. B-E- AGGRESSIVE!!!!

p.s. you might not believe me, and it will take some getting used to but these tips are essentially to crushing uNL and moving up

First time I've heard about the 3-6 rule. Would have helped me a lot in this hand http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...d.php?t=104668

this is a good post but I feel the level for which it is used isnt well placed.

Cold calling in position can prove to be much much more lucrative at these stakes. Maybe its because of my image but it just doesn't seem like these guys are cpaable of folding top pair.

So by 3 betting you may be getting some immediate profits, but with all the different situations that come up I feel most players will be more +EV applying pressure post flop where weak tights really freeze up unless they have tp or overpair.

Again it all depends on which type of weak tight we are up against
