Argent

Hi guys.

 

I was playing 0BrAKeU00 tonight @ the $3.50's on stars. We got chatting and he told me he used a push/fold system called Argent when he played husngs. Can't seem to find much about it. Any ideas??

The word "l'argent"

The word "l'argent" translates to "money" according to google. So the player might've meant they have a "money" or "good" push fold strategy.

I wouldn't focus too much on push fold. If you're following basic strategy advice in the 7 or 8bb or less area, you shouldn't have much more edge to gain, and surely some stagnant system is not going to print you more money.

If you're basically shove or folding 8-12bb always, then you should be working on incorporating limps into your strategy, they are quite useful (even at 7bb vs some guys).

Push fold charts are often this sort of mythical thing that becomes so desirable to players because it's the sort of thing that you can "automatically do without having to think or adjust." Unfortunately, you can't really simplify the game in most situations, even in push fold, so it's often a sort of fallacy. A chart, with the proper understanding of the situation it is made for, can be a good learning tool and starting point, but beyond that, it often does far more harm than good for a player's success and learning.
