Playing low pairs 5: Adapting to the Opponent

[christovam]

Reading the Opponent: It's essential to adjust your aggression based on your opponent's style of play. Against tight players, an aggressive play can be more effective. Against loose players or calling stations, it can be less effective, as they tend to call with a wider variety of hands.

 

[Mr.$t0k]

the main question is how to correctly determine the opponent's playing style - this is the main task for a good game in a one-on-one game

Mix up the style of play - this makes the challenge of your opponent getting a read so difficult... and remember you don't have to be a LAG or a calling station to call with a wide range, you just have to pick your spots sensibly but equally sometimes it might just feel right to float a low pair for example especially if there is pot equity.
I advocate for there being huge value in playing low pairs with discipline.

Low pair it's not easy to play sometimes you can open them to hit a set on the flop depends on what position you are, and sometimes you could just press the fold button as well depends of position you are, and equality preflop 55%, this will be a profitable game on the distance.

Reading the opponent it's not easy you should play with him a lot of hands to understand his style, and always notes about them.

Good luck to tables.
