Ok
Things I picked up along the way;
-actual strategy doesn't matter, odds matter.
-experience prevails
-trust your gut instinct
-be aware (as Mad Eye Moody would say: CONSTANT VIGILANCE!). be aware 24/7 at the table.
-fold is your best friend
-bet/fold is your next best friend (this one costed me my second 4,40 180 FT in two straight days)
-you are the weakest link
-HUDs are for pussies
-slowplaying is for pussies
-don't fold (reasonable hands) in big pots [unless your gut instinct screams fold. then you fold]
-book the win (unless the game is reaaaaaaaly good)
-stop loss is unnecessary. just stop playing when your A-game abandons you
-don't regret getting your money in good ever
-don't berate others
-seriously, don't berate others for bad play
-respect others
-in a tourney, if you are ahead 2:1 early for a double up, take the chance
-find the maniacs, love the maniacs
-always mind discounts
-really, always mind discounts
-fold KJ. "Hey its sooooted". Shut up and fold it. "Hey, I would've had a royal flush!" Shut up and fold it. "Hey, its my favorite hand! My name is Krister Johansson!" Shut up and fold it, you idiot. The only way you gonna play this shit is with discounts.
-when some short stack pushes all in pf, someone cold-calls, don't ever raise the cold caller out if you don't have the rockets. Ever! Not with AK, not with AQ, not with motherfucking KK. Not EVER! This is practically the only NEVER EVER in all of poker.
-when your aces have been cracked by the umpteenth time, just sit back, relax, and fire up "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd at full volume. Be sure to get this specific song
-sometimes, the right decision is not (may not seem like) the logical decision
-if you don't "feel like playing", don't
-don't chase bonuses for the bonuses sake. your game will suffer as a direct consequence
-do not count rakeback as profit. instead, do not think about rakeback at all (just be sure you are getting)
-leave "police-ing" to cops, you are not teh bluff patrol
-do everything in your power to feel comfortable in your home base
-don't be tight for the sake of being tight
-be like water. flow where you can flow, mind the blocks and carefully, slowly, erode them
-do not worry about your stats. worry about your play
-do not worry about your roll during a hand
-do not worry about your goals during a hand
-do not worry about your girlfriend during a hand
-do not worry about your dog during a hand
-luck exists, and it comes in streaks. so when someone is getting hit by the deck, you don't fuck with him, 'cause he'll take you down. conversely, when luck is hitting you, max it
-flop minraises= It 98% a flopped made hand, like a made flush/straight/fh/set, and 2% bluff. Really. Obviously, its nothing when the minraising villain always minraises.
im constantly updating this post, so be sure to look back once in a while
more later
