Poker Concorde

In poker, there are several instances that require either a short term, or long term change of playing style.

If you play with the same people every week and are selectively aggressive in attacking weakness, it is only a matter of time before these poker players see how you are playing poker and observe that you probably don’t have a strong hand a reasonable amount of the time. Then, it is only a matter of time before you find yourself regularly called or reraised when faced with marginal poker hands.

In this instance, you might find you need to tighten up your play significantly. Switching your poker playing style in this way will often feel uncomfortable, but it is good for developing your poker skills, and should show some results in the short term. Just as poker players notice you are playing aggressively in the first place, they will soon begin to notice you are showing down strong hands most of the time and back off.

It is usually important in poker not just to change your playing style to keep people guessing, but altering the way you play different hands each time you are in those situations, will confuse opposing poker players too. If poker players know you can play hands in interesting different ways, and are capable of anything when you are in a hand, opposing poker players are often far less confident about playing a pot against you. Of course when you switch your poker play around in the short term, or the long term, you need to do so in a way that is not too detrimental to the amount of chips you are picking up in good situations.
