This is the second part of a thematic article where we explain how important it is that your play to the characteristics of the lot from which you take to adapt.
In the first part of (tight games), we discussed how to behave best in a tight game and how developed in this context, the new player type LAG.
In the second part we will deal with how you should behave in the face of loose mixed lot or batch.
The adjustment to a loose game
Loose-passive play can be found mainly in poor players. They play too many hands and to keep even after the flop too long on it. These players are usually the losers and move their money at the wrong moment in the middle.
Such opponents are like ATM machines. It's pretty obvious how to beat this: Wait to get a good hand, and if you do, set for Value. , Do share. In order to beat a calling station, you simply cross out the bluff embed in your arsenal and you consistently for Value.
For (poor) LAGs the same. Wait for a good hand and beat you. If the enemy is more, let him.
A bad LAG is often with mediocre hands, so it's easy to lay a trap. If you simply wait for a premium hand, you will eventually find a situation where you can ask him.
If you have position on the LAG, improves your situation. Try to fill a seat left by the LAG, so you run the risk that it will constantly re-raises.
LAGs play per se a lot of marginal hands, and many are far too aggressive. You can be the player in this match, passive because the money will come. Just make sure that you have in the final hand the better cards.
We have the first part of (tight games) already discussed, not that bad players are all LAGs. Nowadays, even good LAGs are on the road. It is extremely difficult to play against them.
Before you can classify someone as bad lag, you have to see if he makes major mistakes over time. Good LAGs often increase before the flop and beds very often on the flop.
That does not automatically lead to bad players, for whom growing pot in one hand, you can assume that each player has a good hand.
The problem of the LAG is his inability to change the pace and stepping on the brake. "A good LAG has self-control, a bad play without discipline and often collects in a short time many chips that he just loses quickly.
You must be able to distinguish these two types of players.
Areas with loose and tight players
In such a game play it is particularly important variable to be able to. You can apply a certain way of playing against a player and a very different to the next.
Their ability to change the pace of another for the moment, you will make an excellent opponent. If you identify the bad players at your table and know why these are bad - that is, whether they are playing too tight or too loose - use this to your advantage by playing against that as many hands as possible.
If either player limps, try to isolate these by a raise. The more often you are in the heads-up with position against a bad player, the easier you will make money at this table.
The better you control the pace of change, the more successful you will play. Many live players are not able to adapt to the online atmosphere and lose money.
In contrast to the conclusion that these players like to draw, namely that the software was somehow manipulated, they have simply not learned to adapt to the particular dynamics of online poker.
Of course it's all poker, but online is a different style than playing live. If you have learned to adapt to any game, you will win in the long run, both live and online.
