It depends on my opponent... if they're aggressive i mostly play pasively and only raise when i know they're bluffin or on the turn when i know i have the nuts in order to let them the chance to bluff at me first. Otherwise if the player is tight i raise every hand i wanna play. The secret is never push all in before your opponent has less than 600/700 because it's too risky to get a bad beat while if you play better you can always keep him down regardless of bad cards

Just don't bet with nothing if you know you're opponent is gonna call whatever he has... You have to adapt your strategy to your opponent and it's the hardest part of poker.
Anyway.. bad day today.... i was really close to enter the omaha rank but a bad streak brought me 2 steps back... the goal is not far but oh my god... it's been 3 days i sould have been already in!
