Polarised range at micro stakes – Page 2

_Anonymous_ · 2014-02-20T17:17:39Z

I've recently seen Boomer's videos and he talks a lot about the problems of a polarised range. Although I see the point and the problems that a polarised range could cause you if you're up against good players, I really don't see the point in de-polarising your range vs the average 5/10c, 10/20c or 25/50c players. I really think that at micro stakes the vast majority of the players will think of what their hand is and not put a lot of thought on the moves their adversaries are making. So, what do you think? Am I wrong or horrible wrong? :)

It's baka if you mean only me, plural would be bakas, not baka's. Don't they teach the kids anything in school these days?

Also at least have the decency to put it in it's original language instead of bastardising it into Anglo-Roman.

Somehow you have transformed "good TAGs" into "unbluffable calling stations" that will never fold A high or better and "calling stations" into "river folding stations".

In other words, you say that you have bigger folding equity versus a calling station than a tight good player/good LAG? Since successful (semi-)bluffing ultimately depends on folding equity, I'm still to be entirely convinced about your conclusions.

@Boomer, is the following what you have in mind:

A station has a super-wide range on the flop for a start
A station will chase hopeless draws (even draws to second pair) both on the flop and the turn
A station is a station, but not suicidal. He must fold a shitload to a river bet
As an added bonus, while making a TAG fold on, say, the turn, a successful bluff versus this kind of station will yield a bigger pot

In case this is it, I'm finally with you.

Right. Unlike us swedes, you have absolutely no language skills. Just listen here:

Flawless!
