Do you put some strategies or theories into practice without it affecting you?

[A kiravio]

I have been on this forum for over a year now, where I always follow and admire the game of many of you.
Usually the field where I put new things into practice are in cash games and freerolls, other than cc games, and Usually the field where I put new things into practice are in cash games and freerolls, other than cc games, on small stakes 1-2-5c. In some strategies perceived by some as suicide, stupid bet,or madness, I go from 2$ to 10$+ very quickly, but in the ecstasy 😉 of forcing something created to the table to the maximum, I end up exhausting both the strategy and the money.
Any new thing I test, I do it all the way through to see the weak points.

My last experiment was at stakes 1-2c and cost me $20. I tried to get the most out of good players (and predictable for flawless play) often making them give up over 70%from the stack in my favor many times I only had garbage with possibilities😀.

How do you put into practice some new
theories, or new tactics for analysis?
Thank you.

i practice a lot of new strategies, but I only do it for my benefit and not to share, because what I do might not make sense to others. Just because it makes sense to me, doesn’t mean its good.

is there a part of me that wants to share? of course, but I know I shouldn’t because my casual, fun approach to the game is not the same as others who take it seriously and want to reach high achievements like moving up in stakes or winning big prizes. Funny thing is I know how to do those things, I just dont care to fully apply it. when I answer strategy or mtt questions, I have to make sure I’m not basing my answer on what I would do as a fun player. for the most part now, I just stay away from most of those questions and let better players answer.

example of a strategy I use: let’s say I’m on the final table as the shortest stack with 8 bbs. basic strategy is to find a spot to get your stack in and try to double up.

my strategy is to just fold every single hand, except qq+, until i bust out. lets say, on an 8 handed table, I can see 50 hands before I bust out, whether I bust out in the 1st or 50th hand, I get paid the same amount in last place. but, if a player busts out before me, I move up the money ladder. so, there is no negative to this. I either leave in the same place I started or I leave with more.

funny thing is, not everyone in $1 mtts pays attention, and I use that to my advantage. I’ve gone from 8th to top 3, even winning a number of mtts as well, even though that’s no longer my goal when I play. i even took 2nd with less than half a bb behind after the top stacks got it in pre for ~20 bbs effective.

now, will I ever tell anyone to just nit fold constantly at the final table as a short stack? no, because I know it’s not how people want to play and it’s not an acceptable way to play for most players. and I fully understand that.

Cool
No, I don't use new tactics or strategies. I'm a pretty conservative player
I play for fun and try to be patient and disciplined. Your method is interesting and such experiments can open up new ways for you to develop and gain valuable knowledge, but don't forget that your patience and discipline will always be key no matter what strategy you choose.

Another failed test 😟 in the end I think it's good to retire after the greatness.

This last experience really makes me think 🤔. I could put those dollars into a few tournaments to have other sessions. In the end I hope something will happen.

I have never played cash games. My focus is only on tournaments, mainly freerolls, but I believe that there is a strategy for becoming profitable for each type of poker.

I see many players, especially beginners, playing in many types of poker and in my opinion this is a mistake, because the chances of you going broke are very high. You have to focus all your learning on just one type.

When you become profitable in this type of poker, you can even move on to a second type, as long as it does not interfere with your studies and your profitability.

Of course, everything I mentioned above is for those players who take poker more seriously and want to become professionals, but if it is just for fun, I would focus on just one type so as not to lose money.

Thanks Cesar.🙂

Estou neste fórum há mais de um ano, onde sempre acompanho e admiro o jogo de muitos de vocês.
Geralmente o campo onde coloco coisas novas em prática são em cash games e freerolls, que não sejam jogos cc, e Geralmente o campo onde coloco coisas novas em prática são em cash games e freerolls, que não sejam jogos cc, em pequenas apostas 1-2-5c. Em algumas estratégias percebidas por alguns como suicídio, aposta estúpida ou loucura, vou de 2$ a 10$+ muito rápido, mas no êxtase 😉 de forçar algo criado para a mesa ao máximo, acabo esgotando tanto a estratégia quanto o dinheiro.
Qualquer coisa nova que eu testo, eu faço isso do começo ao fim para ver os pontos fracos.

Meu último experimento foi em stakes 1-2c e me custou $20. Tentei tirar o máximo proveito de bons jogadores (e previsíveis para jogo impecável), muitas vezes fazendo-os desistir de mais de 70% da pilha a meu favor, muitas vezes eu só tinha lixo com possibilidades😀.

Como você coloca em prática alguma coisa nova
teorias ou novas táticas de análise?
Obrigado.

I have failed at this, but I am trying to put into practice some of the lessons I learned, such as positional play.

Thank you very much for your opinion, but that's where I want to eventually reach the big cash tables, and if I practice for a few more years

Is there a collection of strategies that you use with positive experience?
