Trigg, you should grow your hair again, looks hilarious.

But yeh, open pre, c/f flop, c/f turn, b/f river

as a side point to the pre-flop discussion.

You're image is tight ye? The best way to exploit your image here isn't to start opening weaker hands from EP (with the thought process no doubt that people will give you more respect pre-flop, this tends not to be the case in deepstacked live cash games) but is to 3bet MORE IP, hands like this would be great as most of the time people will peel, and will attack you on boards where you flop strong, small pairs are also another decent option for this, imo.

It's important though, if maintaining a tight image is part of your game not to dilute this image by opening bad hands too often (not saying specifically here) but the reason it's hard to play vs strong, tight players for the most part is that your range preflop is stronger than most, so I have A9 on AT5 you're WAY more likely to have AJ or AQ then A7 or A6, and if you're capable of value betting well and hand reading you're very difficult to play OOP vs.

If you start throwing too much junk in pre-flop your ranges aren't as strong and post-flop I can now value-bet or bluff against you a little more easily than I could before.  You basically become a LITTLE loose pre-flop and a little passive post, which is actually the easiest style to play against down the streets.

If you are a tighter player, which is 100% the best way to play in 9max live games, then you need to exploit spots where you KNOW your range is stronger than theirs, and more importantly, you know that THEY know this too. 

Such a complete boss

Seems a lot of DTD players are getting private accommodation out there. Any chance of speaking to the guys in charge and asking for a couple of seat-only qualifiers?

this

Assume he has been opening to 525 every open?

99 and 44 play same and just call turn, planning to call most rivers. Not on pc so can't opr him but assuming he's not a complete punter he can have QT/QJ/T8 as well imo and be setting it up to turn them into bluffs, not to mention worse hands that he is playing for value.

AA check turn

HH hands likely to barrel turn as well as I assume most your hh combos are Q/J/Txhh.

[too weak to raise,call]

AT is a bad example since its strong enough to raise call vs most.

I meant hands like 44 and A7 that are too strong to fold, and too weak to raise,call.

Don't necessarily agree, just embrace the race!

[defo fold pre]

Think in hand 1 bet bigger on flop, just so bet sizes will flow a bit more naturally through streets. As played absolutely hating life, especially as he has just raised and not gone all in, but I think when you take into account the (small amount) of times he has KJ/Kxdd or whatever other random hands he has decided to overcall with pre you have to just go with it.

Hand 2 i defo fold pre, but as played, play the same and sigh call river. Obviously his river bet is never a bluff but i think in a $15fo he can be potentially just be going ballist with A9/AJ etc.

Nice bluff kid. Too late to fix that image

  tight is right!
