When should not I balance my game? Raul Mestre
One concern common (and reasonable) of many players is to balance our game. In cash, this need is vital and we must take care much against regular players that we face daily and who are also solid players and observers who try to find exploitable patterns in our game. Against these players, we should not make moves “strangers” with our hands too weak or too strong in the exclusive, and any bid must include a strong handshake, medium and weak to avoid giving too much information on our range of hands (this is especially important in the early betting rounds of hand and if not tneemos position, as this information that “gift” is more valuable the more money is potentially going into the hands).
However, there are several situations where holding the location of EV greater than this is totally unbalanced better. And some are important and deserve a sensitivity analysis. The first is where we play tournaments. No player will have many hands on us unless we are scheduled MTTs online a few players (in which case they revert to the position of having to mix our game, but only some players against individuals). In this case, our rivals will not be able to have a show of hands as to determine that a pattern of gambling only includes strong hands (or lanterns), and if we believe a certain way of playing AA or trying a bluff is more EV although it never would do with your other hand is worth trying. Even in a tournament you have to be careful with this, however. If you have a table and a rival observer sees us make a move of this kind (slowplay is an “obvious” with AA, or a bluff “obvious” air) is not likely to know that we are mixing our game properly and take advantage of it.
The other important situation where no game balance our worth is not against players examiners. A fish, and not last long at the tables, is not someone who is there to capture subtleties. If you just do a cold call to 3bet Preflop with AA and KK, the fish will not know. Doing this on a regular basis, however, would be suicidal because the play would know after our cold postflop call (check fold to 95% of the time) and know the weaknesses of our range of cold 4bet “(which does not include AA or KK). Against these players, we only care about the maximum profitability of the current hand, no more.
It may sound a little shocking to say we seek the most cost effective anyway. A priori, we may think we always do that. It’s actually true, but we do believe in ranges not in your hands and the hands. When we try to analyze a situation, we must look for movement or set of movements that EV to have our full range, not for each individual hand. This involves some of the most important differences that appear because occasionally we have to make profitable bets just to protect our very profitable lanterns (do not value these bets would dramatically reduce the value of the Bluffs) or vice versa. A good example would be when it falls back a scary card against a player observer. If we do leave it is because a percentage of times greater than normal and therefore is a very profitable bluff. However, gambling and many of the hands “mean” that we have linked to that scary card (for example, we have and the board is AT 843-A) is much worse than control the size of the pot. We have to choose which is more profitable and we adjust our range to keep our opponent can not mix destroyed by our hands. This example also hand in a tournament is a hand with which we could check behind on the turn, which should not hcaer against a solid player for cash.
At the end I have written an article for a more simple than it seems. Poker is only a set of ranges. Except when our opponents do not have quality or time to unmask our ranks, playing in a balanced way is esnecial even when that involves losing EV . He wins this EV extra when the situation requires that encrypts our ranks is a way to increase our win rate against mediocre players, and something the players are almost systematically tournament (this explains why so many of the players who are tournament TV is dedicated to being so terribly “trickys” mixean their ranks and not at all: The jugaodres tournament persmitirselo but can not cash).
