3 - why are you 3betting so large pre? do you 3bet this big with your value range too? I guess people wont notice if you size value 3bets and bluff 3 bets differently at 5NL but if your value 3bets are to like 3x then it follows your bluffs should be too a lot of the time. one of the main reasons for this is that its cheaper for us.

nice hands though sir. ldo.

You can't afford to do that anymore! I know of hundreds of players who are good at reading opponents and who know the correct strategy. But they're not playing today. They're sulking. Sulking because they lacked the ability to play their best game all the time. Is 50% of the time enough? Of course not. How about 75% of the time? No, that won't get the money. In fact, even 99% of the time may not be enough. It depends, of course, on how big an advantage you have over your opponents and how much you throw away in bad decisions when you don't play your best game. So, by saying 99% isn't enough, I'm also telling you that you must play your best game all the time. Make yourself a promise right now: I will play my best game all the time.

I recently opened this book again, and it's had an immediate impact on my game already.

What's your Stars SN btw? I'm newguy89..been playing around the $5nl full ring tables for the last couple days. Perhaps we ran into each other?
