Made a loose-ish call on the button here with K-8 from your 3-bet but I know your a decent player who could let hands go, so I decided to make the call and rep whatever comes on the flop, luckily enough it was a K.

    Why not? I'm in position against a player who I know can fold an hand. I'm sat fairly deep for the stakes so I know I have got the stack to get him off a flop he doesn't like. Plus if he looks like he is strong when the board comes I will just get away from it. Cards were literally irrelevant in that spot, I could of had 8-3 off suit, I would still of made the call.

    Because just deciding to make a move on any flop probably isn't profitable. Especially when you probably have no idea about the range he's 3betting you with. Considering I assume he's 3betting you with a value range only, there are numerous flops where it'd be horrendous to "make a move". Sure, if you're just doing it for fun and don't mind burning money then go ahead, I'm sure Lambert doesn't mind.

    Pre-flop I don't care if he has AA, I don't care about his range either when I'm in position. I am calling pre to hopefully get a really wet board and hope he has an hand exactly like he did. We haven't played together so you wouldn't know but I always put my opponents in awkward spots. Over time in cash games I'm a winning player so I can't be doing too wrong.

    No need to get defensive, I'm just stating why you were wrong. You said make a move on any flop. Making a move on wet flops where he's less likely to have connected knowing his range then it's completely fine to make a move if you know what you're doing postflop. 

    I can assure you though, just calling a 3bet in position to make a move on any flop w/out giving much thought on villains range and what we're actually repping then you're just not going to get very far.

    You've got to think about your opponent's range and tendencies, as well as your own image and lots of other things. Just calling 3-bets to make moves without considering those things is going to mean trouble.

    No don't worry percival09 I'm not, sorry about that post I have just read it back and it sounds a lot worse than it was meant to. I'm not completely disagreeing with what your saying, I'm sure your a good player, in fact I know you are by the way you are talking. I just felt like I had to explain why I did what I did. Against an unknown player I would completely agree with what your saying but I know Lambert180 has poker knowledge, I was simply playing the player, not the cards.

    Making stations fold with our air is like the best feeling tho, especially when we show the bluff :)

    Playing weird vs regs. You need to know what you're doing and balance!! You shouldn't just think, "ok, im going to donk this flop, c/r the turn, and c/jam the river cos im a weird freak" u need to actually involve some thought process and not just take weird lines for the sake of it because it'll often back fire.

    Of course don't be predictable, but thinking stuff like "ok this guy 3bets a lot, im going to raise any flop" just isn't that amazing. 

    And also, if you're not being exploited then you don't need to change anything. If you're playing a reg and just playing standard abc poker and he keeps paying you off in horrendous spots, there's no need to take weird lines vs him because it's pointless. I'd only recommend taking weird lines when you move higher up the limits and play vs genuine regs who think more

    Yeah precisely. That means we don't really have to take that many weird lines. By all means mix up your play but if you're not being exploited then don't change
