im very new to these games, and when i play i find it very hard to deal with people that play back all the time, never fold pre, and 3 bet a lot and never fold on flops, basically betting and calling it till i give up, any articles or vids or advice out there? best regards
There are pretty much videos for everything around here. But in order to help you, we should know what and where you play. Pokerstars? Regular Speed? Turbo? Hypers? 7$? 15$? 60$? 4 man HU SNG?Howsoever; as a general piece of advice: you need to figure out, if your opponent just is very aggressive or if adjusting to your game makes him play so aggressively.If he is 3betting all the time and donking the flop or check/raise it frequently: lower your opening-range to hands that run good against his 3bet-range and those who flop nicely. Stop opening with cards like 73s.If he allways attacks your limps, start limping strong hands (TT+, AQs, AK, etc.).......you get the idea.If he calls lightly against 4 Bets you can reshove strong hands (hands who dominate his range). If you play the hypers on PokerStars you should reshove it anyways with hands who dominates his range. But again: eventually it will come down to the question: is this his style and he is not adjusting or is it his style because he adjustes to me?Especially if you are new to HU SNGs you might be willing to play mostly fit-or-fold on the flop....if a regular notices that and does adjust he will and can play hyper aggressive against you.
Hi.
playing 7 euro turbo on stars, but i dont really think these opponnents are adapting to me, i think they are just generally crazy, i dont think im just playing fit or fold, i do try to play back but it just seems to never work.(post flop that is) pre flop id say im ok, i think flop play is where i lack in ability the most. "lower your opening-range to hands that run good against his 3bet-range" could you elaborate a bit on this please weirdly enough, i tend to do best against the solid players!many thanks for the response also!!
You should check out video planning guide. There are whole bunch of them under the topic "Dealing with aggressive villains"
"lower your opening-range to hands that run good against his 3bet-range" open less hands---->>> stronger handshands u can call a 3bet with or 4bet withor 4b shove limp some hands Look at how he reacts will he attack the limps limp stronger hands if he reacts passively to the limping limp weak (min)bet any flop checked to youHow does he respond to ur stronger raising range if he still goes crazy on a raise he will eventually spew his stack awaybut if he takes down the aggression and attacks ur limps you can raise middle strenght/weakish hands and limp strongerAlso try to induce his blufs when u make a hand And plan your hands before you put any $in the pot look at your hand and decide what size pot am I willing to play with this hand This kind of thinking will also 'fix' ur timing tells
My aggressive leakfinder series has a few games against these types of opponents. I give a lot of tips on how to identify and adjust against aggressive and maniac type players.
