Strategy: No-Limit Big Stack Strategy

Unorthodox bets and lines

by MiiWiin

previous page 1 next page

Introduction

In this article 
  • The advantages and disadvantages of an unorthodox line
  • What your opponent wants to achieve with this
  • When you can deviate from your standard game

Often, while you are concentrating on your standard game, you will notice your opponent making strange bets and lines. What exactly are they trying to convince you of when they do this? What kind of hands might they be holding when they do this? And wouldn't it perhaps be useful, if you were able to use lines like these yourself?

You are going to witness a number of strange situations at the poker tables today. The main focus will be on Villain. Villain will make a move on you and you will need to consider what hands he might be holding for him to be able to make that particular move.

After this it is up to you to decide whether it is worth adopting these alternative lines.
