I'm quite new to poker and the thing I seem to have most problems with is identifying my opponents playertype. I have a pretty good idea how i'm supposed to play against a tag, lag, lp or tp opponent but I have a hard time figuring out if my opponent is actually lag or tag etc. Can you recommend a really good video that teaches how to identify my opponent?
Welcome to the community and excellent question.Specific opponents will be found most from video to video (rather than one video covering each type and sub type etc.).You want to start by knowing the basic adjustments against the common loose, passive, aggressive, tight combinations of opponents you'll face.From there you'll want to be able to understand why you might triple barrel bluff one loose opponent and play tighter/value style against a different loose player (in that example you triple barrel the loose player that just likes to see turns and rivers, meaning he'll call early streets and have a weak range on the turn and river where you can bluff him out of the pot with good success... the value bet style adjustment should only really be your primary adjustment against a loose player that calls down light and does not show up with a wide folding range on those latter streets and offers low fold equity in general... you still might make a bluff but only in a very narrow instance of good spots).For specific videos, just look at the categories such as "Video Against Aggressive Opponents" in our Video Planning GuideThese videos should help both lay a basic framework of adjustments and strategies against general opponent types, but also take into account specific player considerations (so not just "you should often bluff vs a tight/weak player" but "this player has shown us he has tight/weak on the flop, we'll be cbetting most boards, even boards such as JT5 because this specific opponent is calling every preflop raise and folding a high enough % to where our 40-50% pot bet is better than checking when we totally miss").Let me know if that helps you and if you have any further questions here.
Thanks! This video planning guide is really good. Nice to know where to start when there's so many videos to choose from. really liked your vids, heads up from scratch and the post flop play with cog dis :)
Glad to hear that.
