I would like to thank you all for your posts on my hands because It has helped me think more outside the box in poker. I have won $250 over the last few days and am now at over $400 again. I think it is because FTR helps me not rely only on otter strategy.
Once again thank you to the beginners and the mod ones who shout at your posts. It is harsh but look at the results! 
This is hand from this morning. I think I did this right.
The Button limped and I checked on the BB with AK becuase a raise would scare him too much he was a weak limpy guy.
The flop was A 6 6 so I bet and he check called. The turn was A and I checked to represent the bluff and he bet potI just called. The river was a J and checked and he bet again and I riased him all in to make it look bluffy and he called with 68.
Thank you again everyone I will see you at the 200NL tables next week hopefully.

impossible for him to check call since he is in position, but i think you mean he called your lead.

I am glad you think you are playing better poker, but seriously, you can't assume that just based on your results which can be due to normal poker variance. (Seriously, sucking out to a nut full house on the turn against trips is nice when it happens, but it isn't really an indicator of great poker skill.)
What's more important is the way you THINK about poker hands. I.e., when he called your flop bet, what range did you put him on? Was 6-8 within his limping range? What hands in that range do you think he would fold to that bet? Did you understand that you could be behind in the hand? What was your plan if you hadn't have completed your boat on the turn or the river?
The key isn't to win a big pot with a big hand-- even many bad players can play a big hand pretty well. (In the end, even with respect to the best poker players in the world, getting good cards never hurts!!!) When I first realized that I was actually getting better was when I started thinking not in terms of my hand and what I was doing but in terms of what the other players were doing and what that told me about what I might do.
Indeed, the hand that truly convinced me that I might be able to play poker well was a hand in which I was able to lay down a set of aces in a limit game because a good player who was not normally a calling station was calling my bets on the flop and the turn on a wet board. He hit his straight flush on the river, bet out, and someone else paid to see it (with a pair of 9's!). I didn't.
In other words, I LOST money on the hand. But I had an epiphany. I had made a good decision because I realized what the other player was doing, and based on how he played poker, I was able to figure out what it meant. And what the Villain's play told me was far more important than the fact that I had a set of aces, a hand that poor players will call to the river because it was "too good to lay down".
Otter, you will know when you are playing better poker because you will start seeing the meaning of what the other players are telling you. Until then, it doesn't matter whether you are up $400 or down $400 (even though, obviously, all other things being equal it is better to be up the $400).

Great that you have success.
Your posts show that you have learned a lot since writing Otter Strategy. Continue with that.
Maybe you should make a new post where you can develop a more advanced strategy?
Look forward to seeing more from you.

All, I have noticed troll is appearing in many posts of mine I am not farmiliar with this word. If it is bad at poker meaning then fair enough, but I am posting in the benginner circle. Secondly I notcie many of you to disbelieve I am a real person and think I am a robot or someone having a joke. But I am serious about poker that is the only reason I join this FTR.
If my thoughts are not welcome here I will go another forum to learn the game.

I believe the meaning of troller is someone who posts a lot, or posts in such a manner that he gets maximum attention. It is a real word, I think, which is used outside poker as well.
Being critisized is a very good thing, which you pointed out yourself. It alllows us to discover flaws in our game which would have taken long time to correct ourselves.
Playing poker is like writing poetry. We must learn to write before we can start playing with words.

The beginners circle is falling to shit with these annoying posts. If you're going to post vague meaningless badly spelled stuff, you could at least be as hillarious as Mr Otter Brothface!

this...
i think moderators really need to crack down on this as it will confuse real beginners trying to learn the game... if someone is suspected of trolling or something i think a PM should be sent to them asking them to explain themselves otherwise an immediate ban is needed imo...
