I am getting bored with NL holdem and am going to start devvling in high stakes limit holdem. I know for a fact that I have some holes in my game but I want to learn learn and learn some more. So if you can help me out in the coming days/weeks that would be great.

Learn to take marginal hands to showdown.

Play some 2/4 - 5/10 6 max before playing in most 15/30 or bigger games.

well I am a winner at 10/20 over 40k hands but I dont know if that means much. I feel like I can beat the game and my results agree with that but I am not certain b/c of my small sampe size

Glad to see you on my left aces. Literally. Now stop raising me.

From what im seein aces, youre playing pretty well. I'd get out of the game when it hits 4 handed though, these guys hyper aggressive retardedness becomes an asset when that shorthanded, rather than a liability when the table is full.

Soon as the tables went short handed I got my ass kicked. I was up $1000 at the highest point, ended the day -$1000. Their retarded hyper-aggressiveness became marginally correct. Throw in a few suckouts and uh, its a recipe for a bad day.

Oh, and obertray capping my with JJ while I hold QQ and flopping the J didnt help either.

Yeah I stabbed at it. The game was an incredibe fuckin fishfest. They were among the most horrible players I've ever seen. Call down with any pair and pray to hit the kicker type players. I bought in short, but really only played maybe three hands. The table kept fallin apart.

Aces and Ober and I were all at the 10/20 table.

Ober farked me hard.

But I'm cool with taking shots occasionally with a non stake impacting portion of the BR as well.
