I’m not sure why you seem to think that I play a static strategy.
My style works better in PLO and split pot games. That’s why I prefer to avoid NL.
Passive can work against super aggressive players who see you as weak but in general it’s obviously terrible.
I love playing against the players who complain that I won’t bet my hand and go on tilt.
No good player would ever do this.
Yours is by far the easiest style to combat for a good player. It’s harder to combat a newbie than your style.

It’s funny that you think I wouldn’t play differently against a good player.
do you have poker news and a live stream you wish to discuss?
because every half decent player in the world would take a little bit more passive approach when playing against a full blown maniac, which happens occasionally. You are the only player i’ve ever heard constantly speaking about it as their default strategy.
ironically enough, it appears you’ve modeled yourself after what you thought was PH game style. no wonder clovis triggers you.

NBZ: tight passive when it comes to poker, loose aggressive when it comes to advocating for political violence.

Well we found the title for the inevitable derail thread.
I’ll go on record and say that the strategy / HHs NBZ has posted re: PLO would not be winning long term plays at 2/5+ PLO in Vegas, Oklahoma, Kansas City, etc. Could maybe grind out $25 / hr in Texas and Florida.
I had some HHs typed up in a reply a few weeks ago, but lost it. The starting hand selection was comical for a self-described tight player. (A245 or something made me lol).
Lol. No one does this. Us aggro toxic alpha males just don’t give players like this action.

Some players with this profile pursue the contradictory goals of thinking they can call with weak draws because they’ll get paid off if they hit while also thinking they can bluff if they miss.
You’re literally bragging about being nitty and missing value bets.

It is possible to do this sometime. Lets say the flop gives me a gutter but also puts out a flush draw that I don’t have (but I don’t think the villain is on that draw either).
-
If I hit the gutter and the flush draw bricks, I can sometimes get paid when the villain thinks I am “bluffing my missed flush draw”
-
if I miss the gutter but the flush card comes, I might be able to represent the flush and get the villain to fold when the “obvious” draw comes in
-
if I miss the gutter AND the flush bricks I might still be able to use a big card to bluff the villain off of a one pair hand. Especially if an Ace hits on the river, it’s sometimes possible to represent that I was on the nut flush draw and backed into top pair.
Obviously this won’t work on all villains or in all situations, but there are lots of ways that a board can force villains to reassess their hand strength and change calling ranges.

I call this “bluff equity” if I’m confident the villain will fold to the obvious draw. Also works if you have a backdoor flush draw and you think they won’t see that one coming, but they’d see the front door flush coming.

Not even bad players try to get paid off by nits. Jesus it took the streamer kids like 4 hours lifetime play to realize this against hellmuth. This is the easiest most obvious strategy for any newbie to figure out.
Don’t pay off nits.
Trying to get paid off by nits is part of the point of set-mining.
Rotfl. No it’s absolutely not. You would need to be getting like 30:1 with 500bb left to make set mining a nit worth it.
Is anyone in tournaments not broke?

Being a tournament pro is the worst way imaginable to make a living. As we all know, a tiny fraction of poker players make a profit lifetime and I would guess of those who do 90% are cash specialists and only 10% are tourney pros.
