Title: Hand ranges and optimal playing style for the first 4 levels in a 2 day comp? Post by: UgotNuts on March 16, 2015, 09:44:20 PM I'm trying to draw up a range of hands/position's to play within the first 4 levels of say a 25/25 comp or the DTD deepstack. I tend to be a little too swingy and am trying to tighten up a bit.
I normally play a wide range aggressively and often end up on a second bullet or a huge stack early doors, and tighten up during the latter stages of day 1. I proberally need to play something like top 10% of hands early on and use the image later on. Any thoughts? Title: Re: Hand ranges and optimal playing style for the first 4 levels in a 2 day comp?

will not put you in a position to get the huge stack you speak of unless the stars align. Personally feel going into any game of poker with a set plan of how to play is not the best strategy. Play each hand and the opponents on merit. Title: Re: Hand ranges and optimal playing style for the first 4 levels in a 2 day comp?

It contradicts the first paragraph pretty heavily though! Title: Re: Hand ranges and optimal playing style for the first 4 levels in a 2 day comp?

I think I probably just need to stop opening up OFP with marginal hands until I get a better feel for the table. Blog has been a bit slow recently, haven't had the time unfortunately to update. I will try and update it today. Title: Re: Hand ranges and optimal playing style for the first 4 levels in a 2 day comp?

It contradicts the first paragraph pretty heavily though! starting hands. Was just addressing the merits of such a style in the first paragraph. Glad you concur with the second as that is what I try to base my play on. Think it's foolish to set out with a rigid approach to playing NLHE as there are endless variables.
