Hello all,
I've played a couple games of NL Texas Hold 'Em with some of my friends
(6 total) and after a bad beat last night I'm frustrated and wondering
if I should change my strategy. I would characterize the table as
pretty beginner level: people call too many bets, it is rare that there
is a pre-flop raise. I would say it's generally hard to bluff because
people call a lot even with bottom pair, and people tend to underbet a
lot too (20% or less of the pot with top pair top kicker with no flush
or straight) which can make it hard to put them on a hand. People call
bets rather than reraise all the time, but will call reraises if you do
it to them. I decided I should try and get in to see the flop cheap with
almost anything, from most positions because I am unlikely to be raised,
wait for a good hand and let them call me all the way down, maybe
slowplay it if I flop an absolute monster and try and let them catch a
little something to bet with. Well, I got one good hand all night while
someone else was always getting two pair or trips. I got whittled down
all night trying to catch something and finally went all-in fairly
shortstacked from BB with only limpers with A10o 4-handed, got one
caller with 910s and lost when he caught a 9 on the river. Anyway, what
are some ways to do better at this table? Thanks for any advice...

Why? They will call pretty well any raise you make, so get some money in the
pot!

If you are a beginner, better use a Calculator. I currently like
Pokerpro2006 Calculator - it gives recommendations, does tracking and
general analysis. Neat product. Take a look at it Poker Pro Labs
