Unspoken rules at 4nl?

Have I missed something, on Sunday are you legally required to...

1. Call any hand for any amount pre flop

and

2. Min donk bet whatever you hit and then never fold


I think its harder to win at weekends, its just impossible to put most of these people on a range.

    Sounds like a great game to be playing in, sit tight play patient and let them station you down when you pick up some hands - easy game..

    Not at all, the fact they have no idea what they are doing makes it harder.

    Roll on the week when i can go back to beating the bad regs

    last year i would have said the same myself but all it takes is a few months worth of very tight aggressive play and it will change as villians will more and more often fold a bet on the flop if the call they will continue to call and if they get their two pair you will know right away as they will shove most of the time.
    the frustation i have is just the fact they get too passive so i waste lot of good hands.

    Exactly, even the good regs at 4nl (all 3 or 4 of them) are easy to play, they play their hands face up.

    Note I said easy to play against, not easy to felt.

    Thats the whole point. You try to take money off tintin bar coolering him you aint gonna get it. However v opponents who are making some mistakes we can make lots of cash.

    No, you have missed my point, I will try and simplify

    For me, playing my usual game

    Easy to beat long term: Most semi regs or bad regs (at 4nl), multitabling. As I can generally use multiple levels of poker thought to beat them - This is where most of my profit comes from as its often easy to see their mistakes and adapt accordingly.

    Hard to beat: The Sunday droolers that just mash buttons depending on the direction of the wind. Hard to assign reliable ranges means difficult to determine if I need to be value betting/pot controllong/folding etc. Not saying I dont win against these players, but it is a high variance route.

    Yes it is a high variance route, but the fault is with your game not theirs. You don't need to use multiple levels of poker thought at this level, in fact it is probably a bad thing to even employ 2 levels deep of thought.

    Keep it simple, bet your big hands, don't bluff and if you see someone raising weak regularly or if you meet a calling station, fill your boots. You may lose a buy in or two due to variance, but if you can't win at this level it's your fault not theirs.

    Not moaning and not saying I cant beat them, merely stating an observation.

    Suggest reading threads slowly next time, taking more time to notice the context.

    Wouldn't expect a 'good reg' of any level to post stuff like this.

    ...................... ?

    They're obviously not hard to beat.............  vvvvv easy to beat.

    I am very good at football, im so good infact that we need to win 5 games to win a cup. We where given the choice between playing the local sunday league teams or barca, real, man utd, man city and bayern. We chose the latter cause they wud be "easier" to beat :D

    well 9 time out of 10 you are going to be putting yourself in danger when facing myself with a shove preflop if you ever going to stand a chance of being ahead it is a pair v my AK or AQ.

    its the weekend and theres more people splashing about but tbh i dont notice much difference from a weekday to a weekend just theres more players on earlier in the day.

    others have said similar things about sundays, i just dont understand it myself. just adjust slightly and fill yer boots. some days it will go against you most will go for you. we want to play the players who will call down with the poorest of odds to hit their hand.

    i never got online today til about 10pm and had one of my better days recently, +10 buyins, its all good.

    embrace these players, dont criticise them
