Poker strategy varies for every kind of poker game. The poker strategy does not vary for just the poker variant; the approach should vary even for different betting structure. The strategy that worked best in Texas holdem no limit game may not work out for better in Texas holdem limit game. Also the most successful strategies in holdem may not work any better in Omaha. So, poker strategy is variable for every kind of game and ever variant of betting structure.
The attitudes that you can modify when you play poker to modify your poker strategy are:- • Loose playing where you will be playing without too much of financial discipline for certain hands that may or may not develop to a hand. You may not be able to decide what unless you see some more cards. Continuing to play by making lot of bets and raise in a table of multiple players can confuse them about if you have a truly good hand or a bad hand. But eventfully when you get a good chance you go all in or make some better plays or just fold if you see no scope. • Tight playing is where the proceedings of the game are almost with lot of discipline. Not a single move is made without being sure of the motive and reason behind the call or raise.
Letting others know the exact label of the kind of player you are can create a big minus for you. You should be unpredictable. If you are labeled a tight player and if you truly play so, it may so happen that by the way you play they will make out what you are holding and players can become defensive and can fold when they come to learn that you have a better hand than they.
You need to be a mix of loose and tight mixed with aggressive and passive kind of player combinations. The best of the poker strategy would be where you are sure of what is happening in the table, but others keep guessing and feel doubtful about what is happening in the table.
Poker strategy should be varied. For example, if you are getting an A-K in holdem you should not follow the same flow and same kind of betting structure all the time. You should vary your approach making several styles of playing based on the position you hold in the table and also based on the players in the table and based on the number of heads up.
