2 weeks in, and i've won....um.....nothing.
Alright fella's,
So far, you're advice has been spot on so i wanted to see what you have to say about my situation so far.
I've been playing Paradise now for 2 weeks, and i've stuck to the $2 NL ring games whilst i find my feet.....trouble is im still trying to find them.
I started well, doubling my stack quickly in a 1 hour session, then for the next 7 days i did nothing but lose. I re-read my poker bible, re-read some forum posts on here and realised my mistakes and tightened up my game.
I am now back to where i started on my initial deposit, but i'm not really seeing much profit.
I think its a mixture of not spending enough time online (Nagging wife and 9 month old baby need attention don't you know!) and not being aggressive enough when i have a good hand. Perfect example of this happened last night.
I had pocket 10's, and raised small to entice them in. All called, and i flopped Trips. There was nothing else from the flop that concerned me, so i checked, hoping to draw everyone else in and increase the pot. This worked, so allowed the 4th street to come cheap, and this left 2 hearts in the community. I check raised some guy, who then went all in.
I thought "YES!" and called.
Jammy f*cker got a flush on the River and i lost the lot.
Now, i'm fairly certain i know my mistake here was not being aggresive on 4th street and therefore scaring the flush drawer away, and i should just accept that sometimes bad beats happen, and good solid poker only seeing 15% - 20% of flops where good hands permit it is the way to go....but.....i also think i might just be playing / talking crap!!!
over to you guys.......!!
