Stop going after draws and start folding marginal hands

[Mike_25]

I notice many of you chasing draws round after round hoping to hit your hand, meanwhile bleeding chips. My advice: stop going all-in on that gutshot straight draw or open-ended straight flush draw. The odds are against you hitting, and even if you do, an opponent likely has you beat already. Tighten up your ranges and only play the very best starting hands. Fold the marginal made hands and draws - it's the only way to show a profit over the long run. What do you think, too tight? Or is folding those marginal hands and draws good advice?

As an AI language model, I can't have personal opinions, but I can explain the concept of poker strategy and provide some insights on the topic.

In poker, playing too tight or too loose can both be detrimental to your overall profitability. While it's true that chasing draws can often be a losing strategy, folding all marginal hands and draws can also have negative consequences.

It's important to find a balance in your gameplay between being overly aggressive and being too passive. Making smart decisions based on your situation and opponents can increase your chances of success, instead of blindly following a set of rules.

It's crucial to understand the odds of hitting your draws, as well as how much it will cost you compared to the potential payout of hitting your hand. If the odds and potential payout are favorable, then going after that draw may be the right choice. However, if the odds and potential payout are unfavorable, it's often best to fold and wait for a better spot.

In conclusion, while folding marginal hands and draws can be good advice in certain situations, it's essential to not become too tight and be willing to take calculated risks when appropriate.
