Play abc poker.
Focus on playing premium hands that are unlikely to be domoinated, hit the flop then
bet bet bet! in order to get value from your made hands. Bet when you have it and fold when you dont.
There is no need for fancy poker at this level imo.
2.
Don't bluff.
Players at these levels love to call. They don't like to fold. So, there really is no reason to try to push them off their hands. Think of it this way; it will only frustrate or tilt you more when you try to bluff them off a hand that they should've folded (like A-high, bottom pair or their runner-runner straight/flush) but called and beat you with at showdown.
3.
Never slow play!
Since most of the players at these levels like to call, there is really no reason not to bet when you have a made hand. And you don't have to be stingy with your value bets either. You should be able to bet anywhere from 3/4 to full pot and still manage to get tons of value for your hands.I would only consider slow playing my hand on the driest of boards and even then you can probably still bet and manage to get value depending on who your opponent is.
There are alot more tips, like don't limp, always buyin for the max etc but we are only allowed 3!

Yes I am desperate for an spt seat
Never been to one and really want to go please.
OK, I'll start.
Original Presentation, good content. Keep trying, you are on the right road. Be nice to SPT Tighty, too.
Good tips.
Disappointing thread title.
Surely with a name like donkeyplop, the possibilities are endless.
V. good but try whittlng it down to 100 words
Imo maybe 200 word max would be more appropriate for these?
