Table Image: Crazy Poker Strategy
A player who masters unpredictable play is a very tough opponent. It is impossible to guess what he is raising, when he is bluffing or when he has the nuts. The biggest catch of this style is that most people get carried away with it.
You can use this table image if you consider yourself good enough in poker. Unpredictability is always profitable when it is opportune. Here you must play the players rather than the cards. It is worth to play unpredictable against really good opponents so that they can’t peg you on a hand. With the time you will understand when to switch it up and when to play the nuts.
The most important thing to do if you want to play crazy is to always switch gears. As soon as your opponents think you are going to play tight, play loose. Before start playing, determine the status of the table. On loose table, you should begin by playing tight. When you are perceived by the players as a tight opponent, mix your play up and play slightly looser.
Playing loose, do not forget to bet the flop in a heads-up situation. As your opponents will commonly miss the flop, you are likely to take the pot. If a player calls and a scare card hits on the turn, you will want “to return him a favour” as well.
If you want to become a good player you must know some issues which concern self-discipline. First of all, it is important to know when you are beat, and fold. There are two following indicators that will help you to understand you are beat:
1. Usually players will not re-raise on the turn without having a hand. So you are beat.
2. It is almost for sure if a player raises or re-raises you on the river and you ask yourself whether you have the best hand, you are beat.
If you find yourself in any of these situations, then fold. Folding when you have a good hand is tough, but it separates the good players from the bad players.
So once again, be sure to switch gears against the really good opponents. Keep an eye on their every move and read them correctly. If you want to be unpredictable, first, you must ensure your opponents and their actions on the flop, turn, and river to be clear for you. Learn to recognize tricky situations and fold.
