The Bear Breaks em Down

[Dae87]

It popped into my head after listening to the "Ace on the River Audiobook" that the Bear(or have a random pro break down a few hands every week) should start having a weekly "snippet"...like a 5/10min breakdown of just random hands..here's the catch tho..first he would say how a Donkey would play it then a loose player then a tight player then himself...I personally think this could be very interesting...

Would give some insight to lower level players on how to break other players play style down and tips on how to counter it!!!!


Sorry if this has been mentioned before i did not use the search button

First of all, welcome to the forums.

Secondly, this is something that might be an interesting feature for a show like Cash Plays (now that Spartan's podcast Small Stakes Grinder has morphed into The Rabbit Hunt). It could be a "how not to play it" type of segment. After all, there is often more to be learned from a hand played poorly than a hand played well.

In the meantime, stick around the low-stakes strategy forums, both here and other sites. (We're nicer, though. ) Contributors are very good at adjusting their advice for the stakes: e.g. advising a bet or a call in a .05/.10 game that you could almost never make in a similar situation at a tough $10/20 table, or adjusting your play to the super-aggro or ultra-passive players you encounter at the smaller stakes.

In fact, your suggestion would be a good exercise when reading the posted hands. In any given hand, figure out what a total newb would do in the Hero's spot. Then figure out what a weak-tight player would do. Then a loose-passive, a loose-aggressive, etc.
