No Limit Texas
Holdem
No-Limit
Texas Holdem is a game of general strategy, basic
tactical skills useful in all forms of poker, and a
game of intense psychology. In other words,
Jenny's ADT needs to go straight out the window!
It's a game where you must pay careful attention and
you must know the type of players, similar to a boy
meets girl scenario....know the cads, know whose got
the dough, know what's behind them there wranglers
hehehe!
As I prepare to hit
the poker circuit, this diva has been secretly
honing her No Limit Texas Holdem skills. But
before I get into basic strategy, first we need to
distinguish between the types of players you will
encounter when playing No Limit Texas Holdem,
keeping in mind that this girl has very few limits
so I might be at a slight advantage here. Some
- like the tight passives - prefer more of a, well,
missionary approach....as I will attempt to explain
below. So
just who are my opponents? Hopefully a
few gorgeous hunks, some sexy ****** and a porn star
poker pro like David Williams. More than
likely, I'll be playing along side Wilbur and Jane
The Librarian.
Generally, people
speak of four types of players: tight-passive,
tight-aggressive, loose-passive, loose-aggressive.
Sounds like a group sex therapy class I once
partaked in at the W Hotel lol.
The first modifier
(tight or loose) - and yeah, Jenny likes them either
way - characterizes the number of hands the person
plays while the second (passive or aggressive)
describes the player's betting style. WHAT'S
MY ****** ****ing name, *****! Ooops sorry!
Wrong game!
I think for No-Limit
Hold'em, loose-aggressive should be divided into two
parts: action-seekers and solid players. What kinda
girl do you take me fo?
Let's go through each
of these types of players as Jenny gets all hot and
bothered.
:
These people do fine in a Limit game, trust me
they do. But they won't make much in a
No-Limit game. Think girl on a pole at a strip
club who stays tight against said pole but never
goes down to offer lap dances!
The only time these
people will win is when they pick off bluffs;
otherwise they won't get the value out of their
hands that they should. When matched against these
players:
-
Bluff at the flop
a lot.
Put in a raise preflop and bet at the flop no
matter what calls. Now that's a lot of
flopping.
Fold when they
represent a hand.
If they
bet a little, they're probably on a draw. So
stick with your hand if you have something. If
they bet a lot, they have something good.
Oh and be careful where you stick that hand.
Take advantage of
your control.
As a founding member of the LOOGWA's (Ladies Of
Online Gambling With Attitude) let me advise not
to go wild with your bluffs. Make them
sweat. Fold preflop when you have nothing.
But raise when you have a good hand and go for
the kill at the flop. If you miss the kill, give
up, be submissive! But when you have something,
milk him for everything it is worth. Get
every last drop, take a deep breath and swallow!

Essentially, you can quickly
tame these players into being
calling stations or folding
stations. And if he is making
money against you while being a
calling or folding station, you
are doing something seriously
wrong. These players are common,
and you will certainly play
against quite a few.
:
They have to hope that people continually bluff into
them because these people will call frequently with
the second best hand. Calling with the second best
hand is a recipe for disaster at No-Limit. You don't
see too many of these loose-passive players at
No-Limit games because they lose so quickly and run
to Limit games. Tell me about it!
Been there, done that!
:
Oh Boys, these are Jenny's personal favorites by
far. These guys will buy a fair share of pot -
errrr pots I mean - but then will get
themselves trapped by another aggressive player and
will lose their stacks in one or two hands.
Where I come from, that's called **** blocking
hehehe.
What separates these
from good loose-aggressive is that they lack
discipline. GET ME SOME WATER!!!!! They love
the action of No-Limit so much that they get
themselves trapped too easily. YES!!! YES!!!
These players are even rarer than loose-passives in
my experience. DAMN IT!!!!!!!!
:
These guys seem like they are horrible maniacs, but
in reality, they are a very dangerous form of
player. These guys will certainly lose a lot of
money in pots, but they also will buy a lot of pots
and will win huge ones. The way these types of
players win is mainly by getting a good read on the
opponent and then making a well-timed bet.
My main tactic against
these players is to trap them in their own game. I
generally try to avoid having the pot go up too much
preflop unless I have a monster like Aces or Kings,
and I generally try to not let them buy every pot.
In other words, when I put in the raise preflop,
I'll still often make a stab at the pot at the flop.
Then I take them for all their money.....and
shop!
:
This is my style and the style and the strategy that
I'll teach. The tight-aggressive's main problems are
that he may get chased out of a lot of flops early
and that he may be too easily read. If I were to
play against a clone of myself, I would hope to
trickle him down bit by bit and hope to throw him
off balance by doing so.
Boys, Ladies,
that's enough for right now. I can hardly take
