Ok Things I picked up along the way; -actual strategy doesn't matter, odds matter. -experience prevails -trust your gut instinct -be aware (as Mad Eye Moody would say: CONSTANT VIGILANCE!). be aware 24/7 at the table. -fold is your best friend -bet/fold is your next best friend (this one costed me my second 4,40 180 FT in two straight days) -you are the weakest link -HUDs are for pussies -slowplaying is for pussies -don't fold (reasonable hands) in big pots [unless your gut instinct screams fold. then you fold] -book the win (unless the game is reaaaaaaaly good) -stop loss is unnecessary. just stop playing when your A-game abandons you -don't regret getting your money in good ever -don't berate others -seriously, don't berate others for bad play -respect others -in a tourney, if you are ahead 2:1 early for a double up, take the chance -find the maniacs, love the maniacs -always mind discounts -really, always mind discounts -fold KJ. "Hey its sooooted". Shut up and fold it. "Hey, I would've had a royal flush!" Shut up and fold it. "Hey, its my favorite hand! My name is Krister Johansson!" Shut up and fold it, you idiot. The only way you gonna play this shit is with discounts. -when some short stack pushes all in pf, someone cold-calls, don't ever raise the cold caller out if you don't have the rockets. Ever! Not with AK, not with AQ, not with motherfucking KK. Not EVER! This is practically the only NEVER EVER in all of poker. -when your aces have been cracked by the umpteenth time, just sit back, relax, and fire up "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd at full volume. Be sure to get this specific song -sometimes, the right decision is not (may not seem like) the logical decision -if you don't "feel like playing", don't -don't chase bonuses for the bonuses sake. your game will suffer as a direct consequence -do not count rakeback as profit. instead, do not think about rakeback at all (just be sure you are getting) -leave "police-ing" to cops, you are not teh bluff patrol -do everything in your power to feel comfortable in your home base -don't be tight for the sake of being tight -be like water. flow where you can flow, mind the blocks and carefully, slowly, erode them -do not worry about your stats. worry about your play -do not worry about your roll during a hand -do not worry about your goals during a hand -do not worry about your girlfriend during a hand -do not worry about your dog during a hand -luck exists, and it comes in streaks. so when someone is getting hit by the deck, you don't fuck with him, 'cause he'll take you down. conversely, when luck is hitting you, max it -flop minraises= It 98% a flopped made hand, like a made flush/straight/fh/set, and 2% bluff. Really. Obviously, its nothing when the minraising villain always minraises. im constantly updating this post, so be sure to look back once in a while more later POST# 987 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |

| Someone explain the HUD for pussies argument please. How can this be a bad thing when you take notes on your opponents and have this as a bonus for your reads? I am really eager because if I hear valid points then I'll stop using it. | ||||

Quick answer: You'll become dependant. Your decisions are then going to be heavily distorted when you don't/can't have a hud. Try using it on Cake Poker (or in a live game) I'll post a better answer when I'm back. Have to go to a party (my sis's birthday). |

Here goes: - You'll judge people by stats. You really don't need stats to see who's tight, who's weak, who's aggro, who's passive, whose nitty, who not to play a big pot against, who has it, who's bluffing etc. - Playing with HUDs will decrease your ability to play without one (dependency) - Certain HUD stats are clouded (specially the beloved reraise) - Train your mind instead. This is really important for me, since I really want to go big in live poker. - Your reads will suffer, since you can't trust them if the stats don't correspond - People can manipulate stats to deceive you into calling (LAGS) - Your reads will suffer, since you will start depending on HUD stats instead, and you will be giving less importance to your own (subconsciously) - Generally, you'll feel unprepared and scared whenever in a situation in which a HUD isn't available - Game selection is much, much, much more vital The 1 statistic, which really is the most important one in all of online poker, is the "players per flop" number. And you know exactly what it stands for. Take notes to remember wtf villain did in any given situation, but don;t rely on the numbers to tell you what to do. Rely on your play, his play and your reads. |

I see your points but I think this is general assumptions. For me, personally, a HUD only adds to reads as I take notes all the time on villains. Keep crushing man! |

And I bubble again. Goddamn 4,40's! I bubbled because I didn't listen to my gut-instinct. It screamed fold, but I had to push. Sure enough, AJo vs ATs (BUT THEY WERE SOOOOTED), T doesn't hit, and I'm out in 20-something. You guys may even check me out at officialpokerrankings.com to see that I'm not lying (second bubble in a row). In other news, without counting UB bonuses (but counting tower and stars bonuses pending clearance), I think I'm $900 ish (+ $215 tourney dollars I still don't know what to do with). I'll be playing lots of tourneys hereforward, with at least 1 $4,40 180 and the nightly $20K guaranteed daily. I'll be freerolling in them (Only after I make the $15 daily I'll play). I'll also try to sat my way into the $530 sunday million this week (again, freerolling into the sats). Actually, anything I play (sng's, mtt's, sats, shootouts, whatever), I'll make the monies first with ring then play it Obviously, I'll try to keep pwning micro omaha. Things will get interesting this week. Lets turn the volume up. (POST #999! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee) |

sounds like a load of variety to your games, careful I've got a few thoughts on the HUD thing, I'll post them here once they make sense. I'm playing without on Pacific at the moment, after using it on the other sites. Roll is still under $1.5k, but should be heading to full tilt for the $600 shortly. Just need to find time to get some hands in... |

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, my dear and beloved readers and buddies... I'm happy to announce I crossed the $1k mark (plus the 215 T$ martin knows what I should do with ), and fittingly, this also marks my 1k post. I failed miserably HU in a 4,40 (despite being the shortstack literally the whole table), arrived HU with a 4:1 chip deficit and succumbed AK vs TT, ten made river set to my flopped two pair. It was a pf race, but if I call and apply FE, I can get him to lay the TT down on flop. Stupid me. 1 step closer to 2K. I'll post my cash game graphs later. |

I think spots like this one where top pair (usually T or higher) pairs on the turn are great to bluff on since people don't normally check top pair on the flop, and even if they think I am bluffing they have to commit a lot of chips to find out. Thoughts? $0.05/$0.1 No Limit Holdem 9 players Converted at weaktight.com Stacks: UTG ($9.05) UTG+1 ($10.40) MP1 ($10.85) MP2 ($20.55) LP ($5.45) CO ($11.25) Hero ($13.85) SB ($9.90) BB ($4.00) Pre-flop: ($0.15, 9 players) Hero is BTN   3 folds, MP2 calls $0.1 ($20.45), LP calls $0.1 ($5.35), 1 fold, Hero calls $0.1 ($13.75), 1 fold, BB checks ($3.90) Flop:    ($0.45, 4 players)BB checks ($3.90), MP2 checks ($20.45), LP checks ($5.35), Hero checks ($13.75) Turn:  ($0.45, 4 players)BB checks ($3.90), MP2 bets $0.45 ($20.00), 1 fold, Hero raises to $1.2 ($12.55) |

Before bluffing, you have to analyze first if the pot is worth bluffing at. While the spot is great to bluff, the pot is small enough that villain can give up without too much of a fight. The key is in building a big pot first, then bluff the villain out. You need reads to know what ranges villain can lay down to what flops + turns (and rivers) |

I only bluff at small pots to set up future plays, but the actual value of the pot is trivial for me (as in, if I expect to bluff and win the small pot). In fact, in omaha I bluff at small pots all the time, but only to set up the future plays, not intentionally to scoop up the current pot. The smaller the pot the better your hand has to be to continue. |

| i'm not sure what you mean by bluffing only to set up future plays. if you mean that it helps you keep up an aggressive image i can agree with that, but to me that's a side effect. in the hand i posted i have to win the pot at least 58% of the time for the play to be +EV (i think i win much more often than that). shouldn't our decisions in each hand be guided by what is most +EV? | ||||

Bluff to set up future plays: iBluff (like in the posted hand). villain calls. River goes check/ check. I show down K-high, villain shows down 9's with a Q kicker. A few hands down the road, I flop a full house. I play with the exact same betting pattern, except this time I bet the hell out of that turn. He figures I did it once with a K-high (or an observant opponent who saw me bluffing in the previous hand), I am certainly capable of that again. We win a stack. Its the only reason I would bluff in such a small pot (since its small, the size of my bluff is also small). In general, I go after big pots. I don't bluff for the sake of winning the current pot. I bluff for the sake of winning 180+BB pots. |

Well I guess it's just not possible for me to not run like absolute crap. I know I wasn't gonna whine anymore but I just went through an 11 buy-in downswing at 10NL. You'd think I'm the worst player ever. I just don't get it. I feel like a freaking psychic sometimes. I am so much better than these guys. I get these loser donkeys into the worst spots and they gladly try to give me their chips. Their terrible play being constantly rewarded combined with set under set 3 times = me losing $110 at 10NL. I really can't believe it. I'm at a loss for words. EDIT: At least I might break even from rb this month. I'm still freaking pissed though! |

I should be depositing at full tilt shortly (next week perhaps?), will see you on the $10 tables for a few hands until I get used to the interface, and you get the deserved heater to $25 and beyond! Not sure what to play there, think it will likely be $50NL FR, but I'm only just getting comfortable with $50 pots and not sure how i;ll deal with putting $50+ in the middle with any regularity, so maybe some more time at $25 first. Realising that I'm better at FR than 6-max. Time to get a decent monitor and start 8-tabling. What's rakeback/100 at $10 and $25 like? |

If he doesn't, I win a relatively sizable pot with a pair of sevens. if the pot was unraised pf, I wouldn't even bother, it would be too small and becomes too risky (?) (since I was the pf aggressor, I may get more respect, but my image is pretty shitty) |

it's a lot easier to successfully bluff in smaller pots -- weak and medium strength players (including me) will usually fold to a reraise or 3bet with a medium strength hand -- the board can be dry, and people fear 2p or a set. it's the big pots that are much harder to bluff, so you need to time it right usually with a scare. You can take a lot of these pots without much risk, while the bigger pots need more precision and the margin for error is smaller. |

I took a brek from poker. I had to, uhm, find myself. My confidence was shattered, I simply felt no hand would hold up, etc. Been really brushing up on the mental aspects of the game, which include being able to withstand beat after beat, without turning into a conditioned gambler. Been trying my hand at tourney's again, after a long time. The one 180 where I had such a massive chiplead going into 50 players left, my ISP decides to crap on me again (it somehow always craps on me on important situations, such as final table bubble), forcing me to sit out and still come in 12th place. That sucked, big time. Big update coming soon |

yeah, sanity. I had my first shot at 50nl, lost $100, then had a bad run at 25nl, losing another$150. Shook me up a little, my poker career had been smooth up until then. So my Fulltilt time has been rollercoaster to date. $600 in and now at $560.... a little rakeback to come I guess, but weird headspace. Only two hands I really hate my play from that pile though, and now it's grind on up again. Good luck y'all Peace out. |

Bad news. Or slightly unfortunate. I'm going through some very heavy shit in RL right now (and have been going on since early November (aha, so THAT's why you didn't post in your thread in a while Jack), and I've had to put poker down for the moment (and withdraw, like, 95% of my roll  ). This marks the 3rd time straight that I went to $1500+ that I had to withdraw it all, or most of it, for RL matters. I truly hate my government, I hate bureaucracy, I hate all of it, and I also hate the fact that I couldn't find online poker a little earlier, like in '05. I feel like Sisyphus. I don't have an ETA on when I'll be back fulltime. But, like Schwarzenegger said, "I'll be back" I may be down, but never out. What does this mean? OPS officially on hold for now. Sorry guys. |

I have been going through quite a few rough patches, which actually got me into gambling in the first place because of my foresightedness . This "river of shit" just got magnified towards the end of 2007, so while most people were enjoying Christmas I can't say I was.Services will be resumed shortly. I am undecided as to continue chronicling here or on the FTR Blogs, or on my own webbie. I'll post some sort of formal update soon. This one was called "Jack's Road to Poker Maturity". I can say, however, for all intents and purposes, that that destination was reached well within the alotted time frame. Jack will be back shortly... with a vengeance
