Loose Blind Steals - the LAG Approach

by PokerStrategy.com



2. Preliminary remarks

One of the reasons that tight poker is successful, is that one avoids difficult decisions. If you play loose, you'll often face complicated situations which require a high degree of concentration and discipline, and thus it is not suitable for extreme multi-tabling. On the other hand, this method is capable of generating ROI values on six tables which exceed those of a tight player on 12 tables by far.

The moves in this article only make sense with a certain stack size and as long as neither you nor the opponents are in Push-or-Fold mode yet. You should always plan your hands ahead, i.e. in a way that you are always able to give up a bluff and still continue playing comfortably. It is necessary to have well-trained post-flop skills and to realize that while you will create a loose image, you will have to deal with the fact that the opponents will bluff and check-raise more often.

Due to the increased tilt danger associated with this method, players who are prone to go on tilt should rather stick with their familiar tight game. On the other hand you now get more value for your own strong hands.

If you master the mentioned moves, you should only open fold for deception on the button and in the small blind. In high, tight limits you can even use these moves from the first blind level onwards. Many tight players will tilt when confronted with such a playing style.
