1.) i dont play limit but would agree w/dan about controlling the odds. make your opponant make a mistake to draw out. i would think that is a very important skill in no limit that is not required in limit. also the fact that one mistake or even non-mistake(a suck out) in no-limit it can be over for you. so you got to be more carefull in no limit.
2.)
1--- about the tournament structure. whether or not it pays 1% 10% or 20% has little effect on my play.(i will put more thought into this). but if it's getting close to the bubble this has a big effect on my play.(i still tighten up esp w/ a big stack but working on this)
9--- i look at the pots odds offered.(probably should put more thought into this though.) i'm not always sure as to whether to play a hand or whether or not to risk x% of my chips etc.
10-- position is key. i've got to remember what they say about a world class player vs. donkey. the donkey has the best of it with position. although i play against donkeys alot i'm no world clas player. and even if i were position still would be more important. i think i need to bet and 3bet more often to gain position.
11-- the cards sometimes i don't pay enough attention to them. i get caught up in all the other elements of a hand and try to make a hand up. this is truer in multiway pots where im sure i can get a player to fold i often get caught by that 3rd guy that for sure has the cards to beat me.
3.) see my other post. also i cant be 100% of my play on any given hand.
4.) see other hand. but i agree mostly with dan reasons. with AK i like to see flops. if i'm short i'd love to shove or get it all in pre.if it's checked to me i would raise and hope never to see a flop.
5.) i do use probe bets. if thats what there called. i use them to take the pot down when i'm likely ahead and don't want to see another street. i also use them against that min raise on a paired board(sometimes whether or not got a hand). if i got a boat on a paired board i probe bet. i want to see if he really got trips and to build a bigger pot right away. there are times i dont probe. if the flop in the eg was 984 and two toned(w/a str8 and flush draw possible). i wouldnt probe at all(if i were chris). because if i did probe and was called it tells me nothing. he could have me beat or could be chasing his draw. i would just be paying for info that i never got. i dont probe if i got say an ace/rag for top pair(paired the ace) and weak kicker. i dont want to probe just to see i'm behind or build a big pot with a small hand when there no need. i may call a smaller sized bet and hope my ace is good for showdown. also i and the other guy would have to have deep stacks to make this probe worth probing. cuz if i probe a short stack ive pretty much commited myself to call.
