I've seen a few river bluff raises, but nowhere near enough to bet to induce a bluff raise in position. Once you figure out who's showdown bound and who isn't you can value bet and bluff more efficiently.ģ bets preflop are serious business in most cases, but not all.ģ bets on the turn are definitely serious business in 97% of cases. Online, that's either a value bet or a bad bluff in most cases. If they bet AT unimproved on the river on a dry board, they think they're bluffing, which they would in fact be against a lot of live players.

They're not used to the showdown bound game that is online 6 max poker.

I find the biggest difference is that you can't value bet as thin against most of the tags. I cut my teeth online, but now I'm a live player. At what stakes do you start to encounter more former online winners/pros? What did you guys do to transition from more aggressive online games to passive full ring live? I thought about watching coaching videos but I feel like that might lead to a lot spew at the lower limits. At 3-6 I can tell that hardly anyone understands pf hands, cold-calling, pot odds.Īny tips on how to keeping track of hand to post. I'm hoping to take shots at higher stakes so that rake becomes less of an issue but I also need to sharpen my game and make adjustments from 6 max online to full ring live. My biggest leak is that I'm giving credit to my opponents for better hand ranges that what I was used to on Stars so I'm missing a lot of value bets or not punishing draws better, and playing too passively in EP and MP. I'll be the first to admit my games is rusty. Started at 2-4 was down a little bit, went to 3-6 because 2-4 seemed too nitish, and have had good results( not large sample size). 5-1 6 max on stars over decent sample size. Just started playing LHE again after long hiatus.
