I haven't ran into many scenarios, that i wasan't sure. As for stealing blinds i have really upped my game there, i continue to play tight most of the time, but when it comes down to draw situations i try not to give any free cards, i try to make most people pay if the think they can get me on the draw. Or if i have top pair or maybe even the second best hand i will raise. I raise preflop with a high pair and sometimes suited high face cards. To be honest it seems like my play is actually getting better than the majority of my competition in the smaller stakes games. especially in SnG games. It just seems much easier to finish in the money than it was two weeks ago LOL. And i guess that started after i read a book and changed my play, i can play two or three tables at a time now and not get frustrated. I think i always understood the fundamentals but the mental part, the on the fly decision making is my weakness. I think that too many people rely on pure luck, but as i have now learned it takes a combination of luck and skill. I dunno its such a rush when you take down a huge pot and you know that more than anything you out smarted your opponent. I would love to do this for a living, but thats not even a realistic goal for me, im just your average middle class working man with a wife and two kids and a little bit of spare time. the key for me is to make that spare time profitable. I want to thank everyone again, all your advice has been right on, and i have defenitely profitted from it. I will continue to post when i win. If it seems like i am rambling i apologize, im just amazed at the results i have gotten by just letting myself be a student and staying humble.
