So i'm not much of a Tony G fan lol my Favorite player Is Daniel Negreanu but when talking with him he did talk some strat . One thing is how to play against Short Stackers . We are talking guys that have less than 3/8 stack so I play .25nl we are talking $10.00 or less guys. Higher like $12.50 we can still Flat pocket pairs and play against them with strong hands. But Regs that are Shortys we should not give them any action . When we do give them any action it should be raise them and get them all-in as fast as we can .But with super strong hands.
Another thing we talked about was getting in tough spots like you have AA and it gets multi-way 4 players in the hand ugh not good . So if theres like $6.00 in the pot now and we bet $4.00 a set miner reraises us well we are pretty committed to stacking off or folding , but say you bet like $2.00 just to see where we are at and the set miner reraises well it might be small enough still we can call and see what he does next on the turn. We have to remember it's just a Pocket pair a strong one but now with 4 players ugh it's just a pair. So sometimes betting not bloating the pot we can see where we stand , yes we are making it cheaper for people to call and catch but the risk to reward might be well worth it. You can try this out but by no means live by my tips I would hate to give wrong advice but it has seemed to work well lately .
He also had a few Quotes like these.
"Remember winning poker is how much you Don't lose."
"Good Folds Are Wins"
And Daniels Tips "Don't do Anything Stupid"
Ok so that's it short sweet and hope it might help you out in tough spots. See ya at the tables, Chris
Oh one other thing I have talked to two of the top winners at my level and one of them does'nt even have a hud the other plays with his off . So I think hmm why ? And the first thing they think is .Ask yourself what do you think the opponent has pre , flop, turn, River . They do give lots of credit even to fish and I think sometimes when we are just looking at the stats we are not thinking what hands they could have . They take lots of notes on players and they also are very smart on knowing how the regs play. I also played a few of my sessions with the hud turned off ,the sessions went well but I did have my KK run into a super 0% 3bet nit that without stats I didn't know and of course he had AA lol. I checked after the session was curious about his play. So give it a shot once in awhile turn the Hud off and play a super focused folding in tough spots session :)
