Jonathan Little names the biggest leaks at $2/$5
WSOP champion and coach Jonathan Little answered a subscriber's question about the main leaks of players at $2/$5 stakes. The American regular identified two big groups of serious mistakes: playing too tight and playing too loose.
Against tight-aggressive opponents, Little recommends check-raising, especially on the turn or river:
"Such players are often a little afraid of their opponents. If you check-raise them, they'll assume you have the nuts. They're very good opponents to target deliberately, even though they may seem pretty strong."
Against players with the opposite style, the overly loose ones, Little advises bluffing more often, finding spots where their range is especially weak:
"You need to spot the situations where they obviously have a marginal made hand — top pair with a weak kicker, for example — and then make bets they'll be willing to call. Often you can use a large sizing, especially if you've already built an image at the table as an aggressive player."
Little's main advice: learn to identify the main leak of a particular opponent and adjust your strategy to extract maximum value from it.
