You did a great job on explaining the hand to.
This is where you really have to sit down and think and ask yourself some questions .
1. do you just want to play poker or do you want to understand how to play poker.
it may sound like the same question asked a different way but its fundamental to whether you will succeed in making money and moving up the stakes.If you are just playing poker the cards are dealt and you bet call or fold like allthe other fish.If you want to understand how to play poker you realize that you will have to do a lot of study in order to achieve that understanding. To know why you will be playing some cards on the button one hand and folding them in the same position at the same time on a different table.To know why you are raising , to know the optimum bet size.To learn what adjustments you should be making to your opponents and why,. The effect stack sizes have etc.
you were given a resource to help you study , to start to learn and improve, but you just wanted to play some poker.
Or to put it another way. Think of your poker career as building a house as somewhere to live.You've nailed some boards and corrugated tin together and made a shack but around you you see people have built themselves some nice new houses and you want one. Not really knowing how to go about it though , you sign up for some night classes and learn a bit of bricklaying.eager to get on with your house you clear the ground and start laying some bricks and thinking ahead you start asking your neighbours about the electrics.
The neighbours tell you to forget about the electrics as you needn't know about them until you have the house built but give you some advice about needing to build off solid foundations.You don't think you have the time to knock the bricks down you already laid though so that you can dig some trenches and lay some concrete foundations to build off , so you decide to just knock bits down and lay some foundations there and hope that it will be enough.Time passes you lay more bricks and eventually get to put the roof on. Unfortunately the lack of foundations means that the walls cabnnot bear the extra weight and the house you put so much time building collapses in a pile f rubble and rue the time that you should have spent right at the start just putting the foundations in under your house.
I`ll leave the exercises for what they are right know
as I didn`t found a good hand for #5 and decided to watch them vids one by one
Gotta admit to, it`s hard to change habbits. But I really need to as the game they teach is quite different from what I used to do !!
Why is it hard to change habits that are costing you money to ones that are making you money? The process is realizing what you are doing wrong and then you can recognize those triats in the fish and how to exploit those mistakes. This is all the start of learning how to adapt to opponents . And its done by first learning what you are doing wrong yourself.Once you have learnt that lesson then you are able to see where other people are making the same mistake that you were and from that point you can then learn about how to exploit the people making that maistake.
I guessat some point I forgotten it`s all about betting money saying
"I BET I HAVE THE BEST HAND"
Done about 7000 hands
up some dollars but it flattens, probaply partly because I 15 tabled trying
to keep silverstar
What is so important about being silver star? It means nothing , its just an EGO thing. ok theres a financial benefit with each ofthe first 750 vpps earning you an extra 0.005$ the following month or $3.75. So you are playing break even poker to earn $3.75 the following month.
if you cut right back to 5 tables ad play 3 hours a day at @60 hands per hour you'll lay roughlky 900 hands per day.watch all the videos make notes on whats said and keep rewatching them , see if you can start making the same same bet sizes and foling in the same places etc when you watch them etc and start to win at 5bb/100 which you should easily far exceed. You make $.90 per day or about 27$ in the month less ~3$ for smaller vpps and loss of silverstar. and you make about 24$ per month.50$ over two months and all of a sudden you are rolled for 5NL.
which sounds the best tactic.? continuing to play 16tabes breaking even or forgetting silver star and taking time out to learn how to play properly then applying that at less tables where you have time to think and observe and make money.
