An example: I just met an opponent and I saw he's a TAG by his Pre-Flop stats, so should I(or can I :)) Triple Barrell him today? (Because we played just 200 hand together, and I don't know how his WTSD and how he plays on Post-Flop.

Therefore, many complete beginners are reading it. So this is why I suggest a very simple style of play that involves folding a lot to aggression and pot control. This is meant to keep beginners out of trouble.

More and more regs demonstrate this ability as you move up. Obviously it is even more prevalent if you play 6max. It also depends on how you play and/or any history that you may have versus your opponent. As always, people who give action get action.

But I just can't bring myself to shove anything other than AA. From my experience it just isn't profitable even with KK. It just seems that if two players are all in pre, one of them has the aces, so if it's not you, it's the other guy.

There is quite a big difference between this and what you interpreted me as saying. <br /><br />As to why they win I disagree with your assertion that these stakes are full of calling stations. Five years ago they were. In 2013 they are full of weak tight nits and pseudo TAGs.BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-11268682651124786832013-11-16T06:23:53.052+07:002013-11-16T06:23:53.052+07:00I have a hard time understanding how the sLAG play...I have a hard time understanding how the sLAG player can be the biggest winner at the micros when he opens wide and triple barrel with a huge frequency.
