Tips: If you're a tight-aggressive player, you'll probably take a liking to Poker Stars immediately. The reason is that you're going to run into a lot less bad beats playing there. Of course, you won't eliminate them altogether, but the play is generally tighter and players will be less willing to draw. While you'll be very content to drag the pot with your top pair, how do you extract a big pot out of these players when you've got a real monster? I will tend to slowplay my big hands a lot more often. I don't recommend doing this with an obvious draw out there and more than a couple of opponents, but if the board seems harmless you might want to take the chance. |
