Do you mix up your play?

This is a very important strategy to any form of poker. If you play a certain way, soon your opponents will know your style. You become predictable. Being predictable allows your opponents to out play you as they will know what you will do in all circumstances.

Mixing up your play keeps your opponents guessing and forces them to call with marginal hands (getting you extra profits). It also keeps them from raising you at times because they won’t be able to put you on a hand.

Normally, many folks raise with AK or AA. To throw your opponents off, just limp in with premium hands, especially if in a tight game. Also in tight games, try raising with hands like 76 or 45. If the flop comes out J82, come out swinging and you’ll probably win the pot right there. If not, you may catch runner runner and then when you show your hand, you’ll be guaranteed to get lots of callers the next time you come out rasing with AK or AA.
