Not necessarily a new player but would like advice
Hey everyone this is my first post on FTR, i've spent some time over on other forums but i've heard good things and it seems like you all don't mind helping people who have questions that some of you might find simple or anything and some other places aren't like that. Anyway, I've been playing poker for about a year now, as i played for about a month i really enjoyed it and it has become my top hobby really, and i play on poker stars daily, try to get together a home game every month or so. I feel like I know a lot about poker from just playing online and with other people, I've also read Phil Gordon's Little Green Book, and I also have No Limit Hold Em Practice and Theory by Sklansky which I'll be starting probably today, also I know watching poker on tv won't help your game immensely but everytime its on, I'll watch it because i think that I can just pick up a few things like how some players play and stuff, High Stakes Poker, WSOP, PPT, WPT whatever is on. But, my problem is that I feel like I've been playing poker for awhile and playing it daily and I take it very seriously and I have been very successful, but I feel like I don't understand the math side at all as well as I should, like I know how to calculate pot odds but I don't really understand how to use it in my decision. But i do feel like I've gotten pretty good at just using the players I play against to help me make my decision, with tells and how they play. And I just dont want to sound like a noobie, because like I know tells arent everything. Also, I want to learn more how to know when I'm making the correct decision and more importantly why its the right decision. I'm a tight aggressive player, and at my home game we start with $10,000 chips and start with 25/50 blinds just like 20 dollar buy-ins, so if you help me with math problems please put it in terms of that, because it will be easier for me to understand. Thanks for reading all of this and I look forward to some good replies.
