what would you say is the most optimal husng strategy for todays game? I'm referring to reg and turbo games. Is it best to play small ball and push your big hands? Or should you be polarized and make crazy bluffs when you sniff weakness?I know the answer is usually gonna be, "it depends". But there has to be a default strategy that regular sng pros use. I've watched some regs play on stars and it seems like they just sit back and wait for a big hand, which usually results in their opponents making a small mistake.I'm curious to hear some responses.
I think the small bet stuff can be really bad and cause you to miss a ton of opportunity to push players out of pots (and both gain value, depending on the situation). You can really force some truly terrible mistakes with larger bet sizes that aren't so big of mistakes when you get too fancy with 40% bet sizes in these mid to deeper stack areas.I'm a little hesitant to even say the above, because it really is so situational. A good default strategy is to open a lot of buttons, c-bet a lot, 3-bet value heavy and really learn about the positives and negatives of various hands OOP (calling with say 98 versus K4, how stack sizes and opponent tendencies can change things).But it's infinitely more important to be able to properly adjust based on the information you see, and that honestly starts within 5 hands so often. Missing key adjustments can really hurt you badly, especially in big pots.
