How do you handle a SB always trying to steal your BB? - Page 2 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

It's a very slippery slope to start making big strategic adjustments based on a few hands. Villain may have raised your blind three times in a row because he had a premium hand every time. If you are going to make massive deviations from basic strategy you need to be very sure of your reads, and in typical online games that won't be the case.

Basically this hand could only be justified if you had a very specific read on the opponent's tendencies. And it's very unlikely that you had such a read in your game. Whether you won the hand or not, your thought process in how you played it is not optimal.

That's a huge assumption. I have over 15,000 hands with most of the regulars on this site. This particular player over 25,000.

If that's true, fine. Then why do you even need to post the hand?

Anyway, even with 25,000 hands, not sure how reliable your read could be for such a specific spot (blind vs. blind facing turn lead after check/ check on flop). But ok, if you have a read that villain folds too often to post-flop aggression you can make plays like this. At least until people catch on and start adjusting to you.

The degree to which you deviate from a normal strategy should be proportional to the confidence in your read, and the confidence in your read should be proportional to the amount of information you have on your opponent. I think this is common sense.

I think it's very unlikely that you have enough information about villain's game to be able to say that your line in this hand was the optimal one. I mean if you think he folds too much to aggression why not just bet the flop? You have a specific read that he bet-folds the turn so often that it's more profitable to check back flop to induce? Sorry man, that's pretty silly. Poker just doesn't work that way.

You are either a troll or a total poker fish.
