Poker Strategy
What is a good strategy to use when you get down to like 3 players in poker, the blinds are up?
We play holdem and I'm ver conservative in the begging playing very little hands. I'll play like J9 off suit worst case scenario in late position type of conservative. I need a strategy for when It's down to three (and I'll usually be the short stack, but have enough to double up once or twice and be the chip leader). Thoughts?
In the early game with a full table, being conservative pays off. In late game, being aggressive pays. Basically, you need to play hands you wouldn't dream of in the early game. Steal as many blinds as possible, otherwise you'll lose to a war of attrition if you're playing conservative.
As always, though, you have to adapt your strategy based off of the other players at the table. If you're playing against other conservative players, raise as often as possible before the blind (just the minimum amount) to steal as many as you can get. If you're playing against aggressive players, re-raise them if you're the big blind to scare them off.
