The Admission of a Fish
I blew through my BR yesterday playing tournies. I gained a fair bit of experience, but now I'm forced to rebuy....and rethink. I'm doing alot of reading and studying, and came to the following conclusions about the visual holes in my game:
I play semi-bluffs too agressively.
I get married to big pairs and AK and cant get off them.
I play my cards without much thought about what everyone else has.
I have no ability to read a player and figure out what he's likely to have.
I play outside my BR because I get bored with micro limit games.
I dont gamble enough in mid-tourney which causes me to have to all-in too much just before the bubble.
I chase flushes too much and overvalue Axs.
I bluff unraised pots too much.
I get too tight when the blinds go up.
I push when I shouldn't and fold when I should be pushing.
I use pot odds as an excuse to chase when I shouldnt be in the hand at all.
And lastly, because of all this:
I am a serious fish.
I had thought my game was fairly decent, but there was something lacking. I never realized how much until my recent string of poor playing.
I want to be much better. I need help. What suggestions to these problems do you have? Is just knowing and avoiding the holes enough, or is there something I can do to unlearn my bad practices?
