I’m curious if how do players in a 6-handed high-stake online game look to exploit weak play. I have no idea.

By the way, is there any difference between actual value bet and scared bet on different streets? And how much limping is permitted?

Also, do you have an idea about the various ways people proceed in continuation betting situations both in and out of position, whether or not there is the lead? And from out of position, how important is the ability to play till the end?

Thank you.

Devon,

1. High stakes player exploit weak play with aggression mostly. They also exploit weak play with playing a wide array of hands and punishing their players when they connect with a flop.
2. The difference between the bets depends on how your read your opponent. This will depend on what you see them show down, their betting patterns, and how they perceive their opponents.
3. From what I have witnessed, not a lot of limping occurs. A player can try, but usually there is a raise.
4. Most players will do some type of continuation bet on the flop if they were the aggressor. An exception would be if they were the aggressor and then they were reraised. They may then relinquish this bet on the flop.
5. Don’t worry too much about playing to the end. You need to focus on being able to make proper decisions on each street. If that means folding along the way, then fold. If it means staying till the end, then stay.
