Broll management discipline. - Page 2

You gotta understand that jumping several limits above your roll is just proven to have -EV, its not a matter of opinion, its not conditional to your skill, its just a fact the same way jamming 75o preflop is -EV, once you see that those 2 things are the same you shouldnt have a problem not doing either. Of course there isnt anything too bad with the occasional shot at one limit above your own when there is a good game going, that would be like jamming with A4s ^^

A4s is a powerhouse... lol.

Thank you for your input.

Here at Lp there is a quote we always believe in:

"Denial runs the industry"

by Sean "Rekrul" Nolan.

^ trolling? ;o

So if 2010 stats are meaningless, what areas of your game have you improved?

To be good at this game you have to be extremely honest with yourself. Being honest with yourself means you start recognizing whats good and bad, in both your own poker game and your overall management of game selection, bankroll, and all the other factors that contribute into playing poker. There are too many people who like to say things like "I'd play higher if I had better game selection" not realizing that is one of most important skills for up and coming online players. Fact of the matter is, most of the regulars that play higher are there for a reason, the high stakes regs that failed to be truely honest with themselves fall by the way side. If you find yourself being forced to drop down stakes you need to get honest with yourself quick, because the game continues to evolve. When you get honest with yourself about how to approach the game, things like bankroll management will come along with it. If you can't do these basic things, try something else in life, poker is not for you.

Here is my honest assessment of you, strydah, which may (but most likely will not) push you toward a more honest assessment of yourself: You are a micro stakes player who is spending way more time reading hands and lurking internet forums than you are actually playing poker. You have a very basic understanding of the math behind pot odds and implied odds, you have poker stove installed on your computer and might have even used it once or twice in your lifetime. Your hand reading skills are average at best vs really bad passive retards, but you fail to identify who the good regs are at the table. If a good reg continues to beat you in a pot, you think they are just getting extremely lucky vs you. Maybe you attempt a bluff and someone calls you down with bottom pair. You think: "Well if they actually understood how to play this fucking game, they would have definitely folded that hand!" This thought process propels you to take shots in games where you think people might respect your raises... They don't.... So you go busto... Again. Then you make a thread on LP.net locking in on what you think is the one and only flaw in your game: BANKROLL MANAGEMENT, with the delusion in your head that if you only had the money to play bigger, you'd definitely be rolling in the dough. That might be true if you bink a tournament. Odds are, you won't. You'll sit by your computer mashing the F5 key on the thread you've created instead of taking the time to study. You scroll through numerous troll posts and briefly read over one, maybe two, truly good pieces of advice. You ignore them. You got the attention you wanted, so your day is complete, and nothing changes. Rinse and repeat.

lol trying to soften the blow now eh?

yup, this guy was me like 18 months ago when i was breaking even at nl25 over 250k hand sample size.

what jonnycosmo said is by far the most important thing to learn in poker. (well at least it was for me)

I still get pretty delusional from time to time when i run like the sun

ship has sailed a long time ago

quality post cosmo, i doubt op will learn though

cosmo deliverin

Then the question begs... where does one begin?

The natural line of progression, in accordance with your post, suggests that the next steps in the process are self-analyzation, then eliminate flaws. How do you pick apart your game? Where did you go (website or friend.. or just breakdown your own HHs) or what did you work on (specifically) to begin the improvement process? I guess I'm looking for some direction.

Thanks in advance CosMo/Others/NotZep

broll management before ho management imo
