Could anyone critique my low stakes live full ring strategy?
I was wondering if anyone could critique the current strategy I use in my local $1-3 home game. The main exploitable flaws my opponents make are 1) Play too many hands; 2) Call down too frequently with marginal holdings; 3) Don’t bluff frequently enough.
1) Since most Villains aren’t observant enough to exploit me, I have both a RFI and limping range pre-flop. I tend to limp more with my speculative hands (low to mid pocket pairs, suited connectors, and suited one-gappers) and raise more with my premium hands (high pocket pairs and broadways).
2) I limp more frequently in middle/ late position, and when I’m less likely to get raised by players to my left.
3) The vast majority of hands go multi-way, and probably have an average of 4 players on the flop. In these situations, I reduce my bluffing frequency to essentially zero. It’s inevitable someone has hit something, and I have very little fold equity in these situations.
4) I essentially just C-bet hands for value (Top pair/ strong kicker+), and I check-call my flush and straight draws, assuming I have good implied odds.
5) I have a very high fold frequency when I'm faced with aggression, unless I have a strong read that Villain is capable of bluffing. I tend to fold my single pair hands if I'm raised.
6) My C-bet frequency is essentially 100% if I’m heads up against a passive opponent… But this happens very rarely. Most flops see too many players, so I almost never bluff.
I was wondering if you guys can comment on this basic strategy? My long-term goal is to eventually move up in stakes to $2-5, $5-10, etc. I’m assuming I’ll need to be less explotable if I move up… But against loose-passive/ unobservant players, does this generally work?
My table image is definitely on the nittier side… People are afraid to get into pots with me, because they always assume I have strong hands. Perhaps it’s worth bluffing more when I have very strong draws, like nut flush draw or open-enders, particularly if I’m just up against one or two Villains?
Also, in terms of exploiting fish, does anyone have any tips for the turn/ river?
Like I said, my long-term goal is definitely to move up in stakes. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can optimize my study time with Piosolver to get there? I'm having a hard time figuring out to what extent Piosolver is relevant vs weak opponents... and if it is, how I should be using it?
