How To Adjust Preflop Against Your Opponents - Getting Preflop Right

[@renoxdxd]

Thanks for the video! Could you say more about playing against a lot of limpers preflop, that don't often fold to raise? How to play hands like J9s, Ax2, K2s, 78s? Overlimping, limping behind is a good thing? Opponents play limp/ call even with AJ, KJ etc. You don't have big fold rquity on the flop and often play against 3 players.

It fully depends on opponents postflop. Like if u will get to see flop for free u should limp more connective and suited hands for mway. If ur opp fold much to cbet u can raise him a lot and so on

@@phennomennonn As I mentioned previously, there is no much fold equity on the flop and you often play against 2 or 3 players. I play mentioned hands often by limping behind or even sometimes limping by myself when there were no limps yet. Of course I get sometimes raised by one of the villains (around 20 -25% of the time), but even then, there are other calls too, and we play multiway pot in 3 or sometimes more people. Then I'm often out of position to at least 1 player, in single raised pot, with hands like A4s, 9Js against 2 or more players. Then this game is not easy, and even if hit A, i have to be super caerfull nad pass often to furthert bets on laters streets. From the other hand rasising these hands also leads to a multiway where there is no fold equity on the flop... When I rasie 6bb pre, i often get called. The best way would be to raise Premium hands by 6bb and hands like A4s for 3bb , but this is super visible and they see that and adjust. Raising A4 for 6bb is not good for sure. This is why i overlimp or limp by mylsef, even oop, even when someitmes get raised - for multiway

You are talking about live poker. The benefit of live poker is you can play very deep (recommended if you are good) and you dont necessarily raise for isolation (too many callers) but for building pot with stronger range. Hands like AXs, QJs and pocket pairs do incredibly well as you can start building massive pot in flush vs flush, set vs set, set vs 2p situations and get easily people to commit hundreds of blinds with 2nd best. As there are many people in the pot its harder to win big pots with only TPTK type hand, which often would be possible if pot is headsup. So just try to get to showdown with medium strength hands, dont bluff 0 equity hands MW and wait for right cooler which will easily recover your losses of folding 3bbs when folding 87s on AKQ board.
