I didnt want to tack this onto the other threads.. it is more specific so I thought i would get yours or others thoughts..
let me first tell u what i play
live poker..
full ring.. 9 players.. 2/5 max buyin is $100 min $60
there are 3 types of players.. wait for a big hand, i play every hand, i think i am good at poker play decent hands..
there are also the wild crazies that will go all in at any time..
here is how i play now.. sit back.. wait for decent hands.. big pairs.. suited ace jack etc.. when i do i raise to 15 or 20.. problem is ..
at a 15 raise.. u may get 5 callers..
i can make money at this.. but i feel i am not 'attackin the table'.. not that i need to necessarily but what i feel.. is i am a bad player that is better than other bad players..
when watching poker on TV.. which is not a shapshot.. but.. you rarely see more than 2 or 3 peeps in a hand.. i typically see 5 or more..
in your opinion should i be attacking with more marginal hands to thin the field.. ie.. A3 suited.. raise to 35.. to thin the herd..
ill quit rambling.. should i be raising more with my hands to thin the players.. or just sit like i am and win the hands i can against bad players.. 'be patient'
thanx..
