Hand #1)Boy do I feel like an idiot after this hand First- Preflop was horrible...dont know why I limped in EP... Second-I decided to try out some bluffing....minraised looked weak to me, maybe a king Third-I thought he could definately not have a K now....maybe a 5, so I bet to find out.... Fourth-I thought this was my gin card......do you call here? I know everything up to the river was terrible, but say you get that far, do you call? Hand #2)-On tilt from Hand#1- Since I was on tilt when the J came, I didnt notice the straight draw...I thought I would slowplay and drop if the flush card hit. I know that this was a terrible play, but do you call here?....I just thought there was no way he would hold a 6 for a raise at this point....maybe just tilt talking. I hate when I resort back to fishiness after a bit of a good run.....

im sorry but that first hand is really awful.. he has overbet the pot soo much that its simply not worth the river call considering what u've invested. Just cos theres 3 Ks out on board doesnt mean he hasnt got one, your looking at a split pot or beat most the time here... Only if i had him pegged as a complete maniac wud i even consider this call and even then i probably wouldnt bother. Its not a tourny, you have all the time in the world in a ring game, give the hand up and wait for a better opportunity to get ur hard earned $ in the middle. I posted a fairly simular HH a few days back where i held TT and board came TKK K.. just get the hell outa there when ur facing aggression back at ya. All this also relates to the 2nd hand, he's way overbet the pot and uve just seen him do exactly that with the nuts! so whats he got this time? probly the nuts again and its not worth calling that huge overbet to find out. One thing ive noticed about tilt is that it envolves some wierd grip on you where it pulls you to the tables and makes you feel like you have to carry on playing to win some $$ back or play thru the tilt. ..this is where you need to be strong and think realisticly and quit when its clear your not playing anywhere near you A game. |

I know, I felt like such a complete asshat after that hand....every street I played terribly...i wish I would have folded PF like I should have....... Its bad calls like these that prevent me from leaving the 0.05/010 level...I just cant stop doing it...its too enticing to make the call it seems. Any tips on how to avoid doing it? |

I know you werent Fnord... I like the excitement of making big decisions, and I hate showing down hands if I dont have the nuts, but I have trouble reading people at my stakes....I only have 110 hours of experience, I think I am just having trouble acting on my reads correctly. I was praying he would fold the whole time, but the huge overbet could have been a variety of hands and I though AA, KK, QQ, JJ were not possibilities based on no PF raise......geuss my eyes got big when the T hit. EDIT: Also the second one was purely tilt........ |

maybe you should try a slightly higher blinds, like 25-50 cent. This might force you to play more disciplined and also, it's somewhat easier to get a read on what a guy has. I've played the 10-cent blinds and I do really terribly, end up calling anything just because I think "hey it's only 50 cents." also you might want to try small buy-in tournaments. people play somewhat more predictably at various stages of the tournament. this worked for me, as I found I was a much better tourney player than small blinds player. |

| 0.25/0.50 is clearly out of my roll as you can see in my sig and would be a terribly bad idea IMO.....but$10 is an extremely large amount of money to me still...as is $0.50 PF....so I have plenty of discipline until the river it seems....if he reraises me during this hand more than a minraise I am out of the hand no doubt about it.....but that river just looked so appealing. | |||

I just had a thought, not sure if it will help you, but it did help me quite a bit... Buy poker tracker.... I can look at all my biggest losing hands and see what I did wrong. For example, seeing how much I have lost in the past on AT is what really started making me really tighten up. |

I really, really, really want to buy poker tracker.....but it would have to come out of my roll, and my roll cant afford that. Plus, it doesnt support Full Tilt quite yet............ I know it would help me plug some leaks in my game, plus I think i will wait til I am at a bit higher limits where I believe the info would be more valuable. |

On the limit/no-limit thing: I used to dislike limit. I didn't like it because I didn't like the discipline. But if you want to be a winning poker player you have to have discipline. And discipline is EASIER in Limit than NL. Classic example above: Barax: KJ? Barax calls $17.20 Knowing when you're beat is a skill you need to have. Being act on that knowledge properly is vital. You have to be prepared to give up a hand whenever you have good reason to believe you're beat. One thing I remember and try to keep in mind every single time I'm going to make a decision is that as of that exact moment I am exatly even, and the decision I make then is going to determine whether I'm going to make or lose money. I like sitting at tables with people who complain about limit being too boring because I know they're the guys who will chase action when they shouldn't.  I play B&M often. I hear it often, and it makes me money.

| Yeah, but limit can be easier for a newcommer to learn poker because we play more "show and tell" than the no limit folks who are more often playing a big game of showdown chicken or nut peddling. | |||

Bobby at our stakes Ive given up trying to play excellent judo poker and making big plays and bluffs based on reads.... bugger that most here are just poker simpletons and playing good TAG ABC poker is very very effective, i just sit with 4-5 tables open and grind it out building the roll. At the same time your getting great experience and can still focus on improving your game... seeing as I can beat .1/.2 5tabling without any reads on anyone, thats how im gonna play it. When I moved to .15/.3 also I focused more but now Im used to that I can pretty much play there also just the same. Also about making the calls, its all about discipline as someone said... and this is a very important thing in NL maybe you should by Zen and the Art of Poker or something and try and discipline urself more. |

I've recently joined Full Tilt. Poker Tracker supports it. I've found it to be heavy going so far though--there is too much preflop action for my liking, and I have to play a quite different game to the way I play at Tribeca. |

Yea I have about the same amount of cash that you do Bobby - started with $50 in June at Pacific - it's at $230 now - and 2 weeks ago just added $50 to Poker Champs - only $75 there are this point, but basically allows me to 2-3 table. Running 3 tables takes a little getting used to (just start with 2 for the first night, and up it when you are comfortable), but it's definitely doable. Now what I'm wondering is how the hell Laeelin started with less money than me, after me, and has nearly 10 times the winnings! Must be I suck at poker :P Oh, and btw I'm playing the same limits that you are playing - .05/.10 on both sites. |

BR management is exactly the same! thats the beauty of it, your simply playing hands faster. If you have a rule where you quit playing if you dip 2 buy-ins or something you can still stick to that, you may want to increase it slightly as this will happen slightly quicker than before. You should deff add an extra table, i wouldnt jump straight to 3 straight away. I could never play one table of low stakes now, if i did i would have to have TV on, something to read, music on, and FTR lol |

Discipline made a huge difference to my game. 2 tabling made an equal difference to my discipline. First I learned discipline which turned my game from roller coaster(breakeven) to profitable. Then I found that 2 tabling made discipline that much easier. I used to think 2 tabling was too busy and now I am thinking adding a 3rd table. Learn your discipline. Tight is right (for 10 ring). Try multitabling to help with the discipline. |

Well I have a couple questions for you Eric since it seems we are somewhat in the same boat. When you began 2-tabling are you only playing monsters...or are you throwing in an occasional suited connector in LP?.....and also are you ever in a position where you are in 2 big hands at the same time and end up making mistakes because you are making big decisions at the same time and end up loosing more than you wanted to? Thanks |

Like you I have been reluctant to take the hit to my BR to buy poker programs. But I recently bit the bullet and cashed out enough for PokerOffice. I bought PO first instead of PT specifically because it will help with decisions when multitabling. I had a situation last night where I folded to an AI on the turn. After reviewing the HH for the hand I saw that he checked the flop. This was a case where if I had known that, I would have called his AI (who knows, I still may have lost it. Hehe) Luckily, having that read on him I was able to call an AI from him about 30mins later and take his stack (yay for patience). Anyway, what I was trying to say is that PO will help because it shows the players actions taken during that hand so you have that info even if you were on another table when it took place. Edit: for clarity, I don't have PO yet, waiting on the cash out. |

| EricE most sites display all past actions from players in a easy to read text box.. if u play at pacific or somewhere that doesnt that sux, if u dont fix up PO id recommend moving as this info is so useful | |||
