Probably a whole other discussion, but also wonder how this effects you, if you knew someone was capable of floating to the River and placing a large bet.

Hey RockRoll458,

I actually won a couple of nice pots today off those type of players. In both cases, the players were caught doing it by other players but I made a note and later in my session I was able to cash in by calling their donk river overbets with marginal made hands.

The key is to be observant and make a note of these players because once you identify them, you can exploit them relentlessly.

Lazza61, thank you for the tip. I believe you are correct. It doesn't always make much sense to me what they are betting now.

Be careful though. If the player has been playing tight generally, and does it, he will have the nuts, particularly at the micros.

It's the LAGs and maniacs that you should target as they are the bluffers. Tight players at the micros rarely bluff and if they do, they will rarely bet more than 3/4 pot.

Sounds like a good strategy. Sure I could use some more insight into that area. Wish I had a HUD for the current games. Some of the people I see are not always folding too often, but it would be nice to know a little better who is who. Some people may raise your blind and fold to a reraise Other people seem to be more or less married to the pot. A loose player who is hitting the board can be a dangerous thing though.

Before I first started playing low limit hold em , I put some effort into learning how to get started, also a little towards Omaha and tournament poker. Did ok for the low limits after a couple months of trying, but I never put much effort into trying to learn NL. The question of reverse implied odds seems to be even more important if you are likely to be facing a large bet later in the hand?
