T9 hand: Guess its OK - no wait, you limped UTG with T9, this is SO BAD
TT hand: Nice <6BB pot with the 5th best hand in holdem
J9: You're gonna be getting yourself in so many shitty spots when you limp hands like this. Btw you can save an extra 50c by simply check/folding the turn
"AMMO conservation. This applies to ring games " - regrettably no
QJ: Easy fold, but you made it so nh
AQ: Standard - this isnt even an example of being a 'sniper', its just an example of not playing with your head up your ass
T7: Turn is a call getting like 7:1 or something stupid
AT: This is SUPER STANDARD, why are you posting this?!?
99: Once again, fold every day of the week, twice on Sunday
"Some things are just an easy fold no matter what. Extreme example of not trying to maximize but minimize." - We're always trying to MAXIMISE our expected valuve (EV)
AJ (the trap) - This is actually what we call in the business, not a trap
42: Lead the flop, lead the turn, lead the river, I think you have a fear of winning money if this hand is anything to go by
I had to give up on the 'trap hands', as they werent actually played as a trap, and they were played terribly whatever way you look at it
KILL SHOT: Flop check raise is so horrible, gross gross gross. Just lead the flop your self, bet bet bet
FAKE: Limp/call pre is just utter wank, not even closing the action. He should bet that flop 95% of the time, but your bet was too small on the flop.
"reverts to YANG ( he's uncertain) Snipers always limp with AK AQ type hands." - You have to get this clear in your mind first: snipers do not exist in poker; he probably has no idea/care how you are playing; he is probably not putting you a range of hands anyway
"noticing a real profit in my ring games lately" - You limp/call a shitload, you're more passive than a rock, terrible thinking, add it all up and you have 'long term loss'
Ofcourse, even if this is a profitably way of playing, its not THE most profitably way. You simply have to look at the amount of money you win with your big hands, you win 20bb pots when you should have half your stack in there. You don't win big by sitting in a corner waiting, you do it by hitting big hands (TP+) and going for maximum value
