Hi Jeff ,
Thanks for replying my previous question!Personally I find it more exciting to make a last second's time bank decision and be right but I have to admin that a successful
bluff is the ultimate feeling but I play in small stakes so my opponents can't find very often the fold button or maybe I am not good at
bluffing haha .
I have a more serious question now.
Sometimes I play some bigger buy in tournaments for my bankroll [max $33] and sometimes I register in the early stages where the blinds are super small compared to the initial stacks.People are more aggressive, they 3bet more , they flat they re-raise etc. Some players 3bet a lot , I guess they are well balanced to do that?!?!
Some days ago I was playing one of those , I couldn't play my game because there was always an aggressive player who has acted before me or a weaker one who has open limped. I was playing something ridiculous like 11/6(vpip/pfr) over 100
hands!!!! I was able to make some flats with some disguised hands but whenever I had the opportunity to open raise I was card dead. I am not a tight player I know what hands to open raise based on my position and my stack.
Is this lack of experience? Should I apply pressure with more marginal hands in position?Should I fight back?I really try not to play scared , whenever I register in one of those tournament I want to play my A game no matter the result.But in the past whenever I fought back they always have monsters and I got eliminated.
Are they so good and they know how to ''build'' early on their table image by 3betting light in the beginning and the 2nd and 3rd time they always have it?
It's a very general question and I guess a more advanced one but I struggle because I don't feel confident about my decisions.
ps. sorry for the long text
