Based on you opponents u need to adapt the strategy some people often play more bluffs you need to choose patients wait for the right thing if you are chip leader then near to bubble play aggressive will pay higher
Waiting works until the blinds climb, then you have to shift gears or you just watch your stack vanish.
tbh i find pure patience just means you get blinded down while the aggro players scoop all the dead money, so i end up playing tight early but then i open up a lot more once antes kick in. its not really a style choice for me, its just math.
Good point, I didn’t know that.
I lean more towards aggression because even with mediocre hands you can pick up pots when the table is playing scared, but pure patience is too easy to exploit once people notice you only raise with monsters. I get bored folding for an hour straight so id rather keep the pressure on and force mistakes.
