Specific Hand Strategy

Nov 12, 2008 6:41 pm Report Abuse

Has anybody created their own hand strategy for themselves? What I mean is, something like a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet detailing hands and what to do in certain situations, mostly concerning preflop.

For example:

AA

Occurs: 1/220

Action on loose tables

UTG: Raise, reraise
Mid position: Raise, reraise
Late position: Raise, reraise
SB: Raise, reraise
BB: Raise, reraise

Action on tight tables

UTG: Call, reraise
Mid: Call or raise, reraise
Late: Raise, reraise
SB: Raise, call
BB: Raise, call

etc.

If somebody has created something like this, do they find that setting particular actions in stone, knowing what they've theorized is the correct play is written down somewhere, helps their game? Can anybody see any disadvantages to taking such an approach (Aside from the obvious gotta-mix-up-your-play line)?

There are so many strategy books out that it seems poitless to do your own. And, I must confess that I have not done one either. However, I do believe this to be a usefull execize because it gives you an avenue to understand the concept instead of memorizing a theory. I have found Harrington's and slansky's concepts on this issue to be very usefull though. And, at the end the range of thinking they offer on this subject is very sound.

My father has given me Harrington on Hold 'Em volumes one and two to read, and I find the first one very in-depth.

I like the way you've called it simply an exercise; I'd not thought of it that way before. Thank you.

Hmmm interesting, no I haven't. I've read a lot of articles but no books (am thinking of 'read 'em and reap' tho) and I think this could be a very useful thing to do if you include a table of results. HMMMMmmmm got me thinking .

A table of results is a good idea, too! Also, the entire thing can be edited. So if something's not working for you, you can sit down and think about what can be changed for the better.

I'm glad you like the blog, AngryDragon.
