Egon Olsen Poker

I tested this in 2007 to see if it viable and it is.

I played Fixed Limit 1/2 preferred 9 player tables.
When you get the hang of it you can easily play
3 tables at the time:

 

Handselection:

 

AA-1010

AK-AJ

 

With these hands you raise preflop if you chose to play a hand
allways open with a raise.

 

When you are in the blinds:

Do you get 5 x your money, call with average hands!

Do you get 7 x your money,call with any hand, even 7-2 off!

 

( When you know your opponents good, this can change a bit )

 

Always open with a preflop raise

• You put presure on your opponent and aggression is always good 

• You find out about the strenght of your opponents hands 

 

Flop ( here is the action )

• If your opponent check, always bet on flop. No matter if you hit or not. 

• You will against a tight player take the pot home 

• You find out where you are in the hand. 

 

Turn

·        Here you need to decide where you stand, if in front, bet or raise.

·        If you are behind, calculate your odds and act acordingly

 

River

• If you still think you are best, bet/raise again

• if you are in doubt call/check, you get good odds on that and often a guy with a missed draw will bet river in a desperate hope to get you to fold. 

 

 

Read your opponents: ( preflop )

 

•  

  1. What does he normally raise with ?

  2. What does he normally call with ?

  3. Is he tight/loose preflop ?

  4. Do they allways defend blinds ?

  5. Are they agressive or passive preflop?

 

Read your opponents: ( on flop )

 

1. Does he checkraise and on what kinda hands ?

2. Do they play draws agressive or passive ?

3. Do they slowplay flopped flush/straight/house ?

4. Do they bluff a lot ?

5. Do they fold or allways call all the way to river ?

 

This will in the long run save you a lot of bets and often players play the same way
all the time you sit at that table.

 

Draws:

 

If you are in a HU situation try to bet your draw to the max(4x)
This indicates that you have a monster hand, often the opponent will check turn and if you did not hit your draw you can get a free card here.

On the other hand if you have a draw but there are 3-5 people in the pot, just call
you want them in the pot to give you good potodds to call your draw. 

 

Bluff:

 

Never bluff in lowlimit games, its simply not profittable in the long run
Most people in fixed limit will call you to the river even if they just hit a little bit.

 

To flop medium pair:

 

Mostly you dont hit much on the flop, but what to do:

• HU you will prolly call it down to the river, a lot of times you will be in front.

• Multiway pots wehere there is a lot of action you are prolly beaten.

• If you think you are in front bet/raise flop 

• if you get called by a tight player you are prolly behind.

• By betting/raising flop you find out where you stand saving the bets on
  turn and river where the bet are more expensive.

 

Use check/raise on flop if you are out of position or against an agressive player.
If you are in position or against a tight/passive player wait with the check/raise
until turn where you earn more.

 

 

Facts about low limit fixed on Carbon Poker:

• Play straight forward poker, bet raise / re raise when you are in front

• No bluff

• Play tight / aggressive preflop

• Try to maximize your wins with check / raise )

• When you have not raised preflop and you miss the flop. Fold.

• When you raise preflop, bet flop but missed and get a reraise, only call if you have odds to call else fold. 

• Get as many people in the pot as you can on draws. 

 

Notes:

 

Always remember to put notes on opponents, they are worth gold in the long run.
