How do you expect to learn how to handle difficult decisions if you just avoid them?
Play full stacked, but very low stakes.

Me too - live in Australia, pending cash out from Stars to Neteller.
I have about a third of my roll sitting on Stars at the moment - would be a pretty big blow to lose it.
Nothing to do but...
Thanks for the review.
Btw, vegetarians are pussies.
Hmmm ... almost time to swoop in at the last minute and claim the title ...
Probably the biggest problem with Stox is that ... well ... it doesn't exist any more. Pretty big hurdle to overcome I would have thought.
Will be "merged" with CR as of May 1 (ie. tomorrow).

OK, so I really, really suck at updating this thing, which is only doing myself a disservice (as I'm the only one who ever reads it). It's a bit pointless having a thread for developing your poker...
I fully agree. I don't want to be playing KK OOP this deep in a 3bet pot if I can help it, so I'm 4betting this to about $37 preflop about 100% of the time.
You're in a tough spot when he raises the flop.
His stats suggest that he hates to fold to a 3bet, especially in position, and he's not particularly aggro overall. I would think that...
Apparently Stox is now to be fully "merged" with CardRunners, with effect from May 1.
The weight of scandal, bad publicity and coaches deserting the sinking ship has finally killed it.

This is a graph of my first ~1,700 hands at 100NL at Full Tilt:

So what do you think when you see a graph like this?...
Hmmm ... I got within $150 of my $5K move up mark and wham! Dropped 20BI in just a few days. Poker can be pretty harsh sometimes.
The cbet thing has been interesting though. If you read up on...
Not at all.
My take on the OP's examples is that the hands that should be posted in the BC are the ones that pose genuinely difficult decisions for a moderately thinking beginner. They key here...
I think that was the point ...
Still travelling OK.
Played about 15K hands since my last update - a fair bit of volatility but good overall winrate of ~5bb/100. I feel as though my game has been reasonably solid (18/15/4; 3bet...
um, that was actually pretty short for him

(yes, it is a real song - to hear it click here)
3bet shove flop. He has more than half his stack in so he's not going anywhere, and while he could have 22, 33 or JJ, there's also plenty of flush draws, straight draws and strong Js in his range.
I think I raise flop in hand 1. As caddie said, we're going to find ourselves in a shitty spot way too often on the turn vs this villain. He's got a very wide range here and we're ahead of most of...
Hey daven!
Thanks for the support. I am a little worried about whether I have the game to beat 100NL yet, which is why I'm taking my time to move up. Just a little more 50NL pwnage and we'll see!
The other thing I've done is finally made it back to positive territory at 50NL. Its taken almost a year and 130K or so hands, but I'm there.
So the next goal is to move up to 100NL once I'm sure...
Essay?? Way too much effort imo. I think I'll just keep donking off my roll bit by bit and pretending I know sumfink about pokah.

Love the donation thing too - very noble.
Welcome to 2010 FTR!
On my vacation I had a think about my goals for this year, and have come up with the following.
Average at least 10K hands per month. I have created a weekly schedule that...
In the spirit of trying to learn, why wouldn't you raise the flop here? Its a pretty wet flop and and you're not behind much.
