I don't know why I have such a hard time beating it at my local casinos. I feel like I clearly have an advantage over almost anyone. There are times when I get put into a tough position and am not sure what to do but I feel like the game is supposed to be easier than this. The game formula to beat 1/2 seems simple enough: 1.) Value bet, value bet, value b...

To make this a bit more friendly, here is some information about myself. My name is Tony. I am 26, a full time Fire Fighter with a large love for Poker. When I am not playing in tournaments I am reading through the handful of tournament poker books I have,highlighting important topics and trying to make my ...

For a little while playing 1/2, 1/3 I felt on top of the world wrecking every table i played at have consistent days of 600$ profits. Some days good, some bad. Overall I felt great. My problems began when my regular 5-6 hour days turned into a 12-14 hour days and i would always feel tired and lazy towa...

For a fish like me, what a f-in difficult term to fully understand. To wrap my head around losing while still making the correct plays and not change a thing is a hard thing to grasp for me. It becomes harder when I go on losing streaks continuously getting my money in when I have the best of it and coming up short. One of the main reasons I have a coach is for this reason. He in...

Yesterday was another decent day with leaving with 740 stack after buy in for 200. My bank roll for 1/2 has almost dou...

We go over hand scenarios, any questions I have, and not just say what the right answer to a question is but go into great depth talking about why people make certain decisions. ie Why would someone bet a certain amount in a certain position, why we b...

When I first entered the caino i was forced to sit down at a table where the largest chip stack some how, was mine. I bought in for 200 and already was leading the table chip wise. How in the F did this happen? No clue. But I did know that this was not the table I wanted to be at to win money. I was forced to play 1 orbit before I ...

I didn't really have any changes to my game plan. All I had was a more clear way of understanding of what it was i was trying to accomplish. I understand my hand ranges and was really going to work on making a character profile for everyone at the table. When I sat down I looked around to see what kind of chip stacks i was up against and it was a ...

There were no 1/2 just 1/3/, 2/5, then up to 5/10. I decided to hop into a 1/3 game trying to go strictly by the guidelines that I have been practicing with a little bit of improvisation due to actions what I see at the table. So I sit down with 200.00$. The largest buy in was 300 but I just happened to have to 200. I watched the table for ...

Yesterday I decided to compete in my local casino's 1/2 NL game. As I have previously stated, my goals going into this game were simple. Play safe, don't bluff, study the table, never be the first to limp in, always play in position. These tactics are very generic and although as simple as they appear to be should create a solid 1/2 ...

I went to my book shelf and dusted off my Harrington on holdem books, my little black, green and blue books, and began to skim over all the highlights i previously made in the super system 1 & 2. (Although they seemed pretty much the same) A lot of my books were for tournament p...

I would like to start by talking about my prior experience playing holdem. The town I live in is made up of 3 things: casinos, restaurants and more casinos. (Shreveport, LA) The main live game played is 1/2 and 2/4 no limit. I understand how a lot of the members of this site are well beyond 1/2 an...
