So i've been doing better and better with poker as time goes on. It's been a learning experience and in the end what really helped me are these things. Playing a shitton of hands, then going back and looking any hand that i was dealt a premium hand, any hand that i 3 bet, any hand that i called a 3 bet, and any hand that i won or lost 30+ bb. Go through the motions find the ones that i might have done wrong and either fix it or find someone who's better then me fix it. Tilt Control and Bankroll management. I remember posting in a thread about high stakes.. we are talking NL5000+ and i remember Myth saying that the top top players are usually better then everyone else because they have supreme tilt control and bankroll management. Obviously skill is important but at high levels being able to control yourself and manage your swings HAS to be important. I mean at top levels everyone you're playing is very skilled and what can seperate you is how often they make stupid mistakes from tilt vs how often you make them. Being able to drop down when you're on a bad streak. etc. Yeah i only play NL100-200 but this really helped me a lot in controlling my play and when i take shots at higher limits. So in conclusion you have to focus hard, don't get out of control and just try to learn poker. Yeah it's money but watching videos and looking at other peopel's hand history isn't enough. It's about learning on your own and you do that from playing lots of hands and analyzing your OWN play. I mean I used to have the hardest time dealing with 3 betting agressive players at NL100-200 and now i know exactly how to approach them and how to crush them. Tons of good players from this site would explain it to me but it never really CLICKED until i understood what type of boards to shove on, what my equity was vs his range... it just went from "WTF DO I DO HERE" to "I KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO APPROACH THIS!" and i learned this just from trying new things when I was on the tables. GL to everyone and may you win tons of money on the tables... just not from me! text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 fox http://fox.liquidpoker.net FU Martin getting your ass kicked! WTF Rashad!??!!?!? Rich looking good at 205. Kurt over Tavares looked solid. Matt Brown looked strong but Stungun still stronger. Fun card to watch. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 fox http://fox.liquidpoker.net So i'm pretty excited about warhammer online coming. Any mmo player probably knows about it. Some wow players are probably hating on it, but it's gonna be a great game. I mean with daoc development team + EA gaming money... you can't really go wrong. Also pretty excited about diego/thiago. Great matchup.
