why cant I beat the softest games in existence? |
the people who play full ring are used to playing really tight and nitty, so -you cant play the same as you would in a short handed game. (like folding TPTK is standard in so many full ring hands but not nearly as much short handed).
-my guess is that you dont really know the reasons you do things, you just know you are supposed to do thing most of the time so you do it all the time. that probably doesnt make sense but heres an example.
once we were talking about a hand where there were some limpers and the button raised, and the hero just called with AQs in the blinds. you said something like "isnt that a standard reraise v a button raise??"
well yea, if they were the first one in the pot its a standard reraise because their range is so wide. but there range isn't so wide when they are raising behind early position limpers.
also, if the button is raising with a wide range to isolate the limpers because they are fish, you should reraise because its just like a button raise (wide range of hands raising), right???? no, because you want to play pots with the fish, and reraising will drive thme out in this spot. |

started a few months after i was 18. i had only played poker a few times but had seen people talking about it in different online forums, then i found this place.
i think i lost $150. then someone from FTR realized that i had potential and staked me in some low limit games. |

after i had a terrible day at 25/50, i vowed to play some 10 20 until i got back on track. so next day i played some 10/20, then i saw a juicy 25/50 game and jumped in. i played like an idiot and lost 10k. that loss is not significant in that game but i just felt stupid for taking a shot back to 25/50 when i wasnt even playing good. |

Gabe- Just browsing msnl and I found a lot of hands where tags did like c/c flop lead turn lead river type lines after being the pfr.
I almost never change initiative more than once during hand- like i might go lead flop lead turn c/r river repping a DB or weak top pair type hand etc etc.
How often do you change initiative during a hand? (basically do you often find yourself say check calling mid pair or tp on a drawy board and leading the turn??)
I feel like this gives a lot of info about my hand as I usually dont want to stack off with mid or TP for 100BB. (usually) |

i saw somewhere you played BldswtTrs and other top 25/50 ppl hu. how come? was it to learn, or you had an edge..or a combo?
if it was to learn, was it worth sacrificing the game selection for what u learned?
just curious since i might try this out more. btw cool thread. |

nah it makes perfect sense. I feel like this a lot when I think about my game, kinda a hopeless feeling. I know dont know everythign there is to know, obviously not anywhere close, yet I feel like Im playing to the best of my knowledge. But I think the way Ive approached learning is by over applying "standard" plays, if that makes sense. So now, AQ+ and TT+ is a 3bet hand. When really I should look at some(all?) of that range as a potential 3bet hand, not take all the variables into account and then decide.
Ill revisit this thread when Im not drunk tommorow, good night. |

this is an awesome thread.
-what are you going to school for?
-Do you see yourself using your degree, or has the money you've made from poker opened other avenues that you would like to pursue?
-how many hours per week do you spend playing poker? |

-i don't check and raising preflop too much, but i do lead into the aggresor on the flop after they raise pre, or on the turn after they raise pre and bet flop often enough. i like leading with alot of hands on the flop. i bet/3 bet allin alot when im playing loose.
