Not only can we fold hands like KQ and JJ without a second thought, we can come after him out of the big blind with any speculative holding like 76s where we know we can win a big pot if we hit, but easily fold when we don t. At the same time, it is true that first under the gun in Holdem is a horrible position. You don t want to play many hands from there. But when you do, you want your opponents to have some seeds of doubt in their heads. It is seldom profitable for our opponents to know exactly what we have.
Some players only play one game.
That is their fastball. The rest of the games might as well not exist. And, these players are a totally known quantity in the games they play. They aren t able to take advantage of obviously profitable situations in other games because they only play their fastball. That is the equivalent of 250 dead money players.
