in fact, im so curious about this is there any way you could sum up in a sentence or two why we may want to polarize our ranges in some spots?

WAWB spot where minimal overcards can come
induce bluffs
induce comfortability
pot control

okay, yea you are going to have to do a cotw on this sir

Is there anything planned on the peculiarities of Rush Poker? Or is that topic too specialized?

Since I am pretty annoyed about this nit/TAG/LAG and what not else talk every second thread I have a quick idea about a COTW I would make. It would contain some overlook about styles in general and why a default (preflop) strategy often doesnt work on every table. It seems a lot of players just stick to a default strategy and then wondering why it doesnt work all the time (like playing LAG on a super loose friday/saturday night table).

This would be no step-by-step guideline for a TAG/LAG play but more some overview why you should even at the micors adept to the current table dynamics.

Does anyone thinks that this could be useful?

no offense...but how does this differ from my "Becoming a LAG" COTW? I mentioned the dynamic adjustment more than a handful of times...

I would not get into LAG play too deep since 1. you already did a great job in that COTW 2. it is not my default play style (so I can not say too much about it anyway). So what I thought making was more when playing Nit/TAG/LAG and why and something like according to different players types.

I just see a lot of these "how can my TPTK on the turn vs a raise from a 64/5 not be good" or voting for a general play style in general because "it is simpy better".

The point that is often missed imo is that all what matters is nt the style but that we maximize EV and that there is nothing like a "cool style".

Like I said it was just a quick idea from me so every feedback is welcome. When nobody see the need of it then I am althogh fine with that.

ahhh, that makes more sense then

I am sorry when that it was not clear from me first post. So when I think about it the conten could be look like this:

- player types / common misconcepts about them
- "switching gears"
- image
- tables dynamics
- playing vs different player types

That would be just a quick overview about the possible content.

sounds like it could work well imo =)

He is un-banned now incase you didn't know

Man this schedule is getting complicated!

Its been updated again.

Zachvac got pushed back because he hasn't finalized his topic yet. If no one steps up for mid-pairs soon I'm going to remove it from the schedule for lack of interest.

We've got a ton of returning authors coming up, including venice10, SammyG-SD, mpethybridge, Vanguard, *Split*, and myself.

If I've left anything off, please let me know. PM or post ITT.

Thanks!

FYP



But playing mid-pairs well is really hard and a major leak of unl'ers. Someone has to step up to do it. There must be a lot of reader demand.

Would there be interest in an introduction to Game Theory?

yes im sure there would

what about a gambit tutorial?


where are my fellow nerds at?

It is possible that I can get a later appointment? I have my final exams in may/june so not that much time until then....

As in 1. e4 e5 2. f4?

How's the end of June? I shuffled May and June.

Suggestion for 1 maybe two topics: Exploiting opponents and avoiding being exploitable. This is something that kinda gets pushed under the table at the micros but as I move up in stakes I'm begining to wonder more and more about. I don't think I'm the one to write this, but do one of the more experienced players think there is enough to write about here?

That would kind of fall under Game Theory I guess.

<--- extremely interested

That def work better for me. Thank you.

Some time back a poster said he was compiling the COTW's into a single document with proper layout, formatting, etc. I think he said he was using desktop publishing software. Does anyone know if this work was completed? I'd love to have a properly formatted one so I can print, highlight, make notes, etc.

(Note: searched manually and with search function and can't find the posts or poster name, sorry.)

IIRC it was Bostik.
