Hi!
I just read Ed Millerīs very fasinating post, about many players folding to much. I think thatīs pretty true for me.
About me: I have only played a few months, I am struggling hard with the 25NL tables :/
I need to learn, a lot!
I often go by the old phrase, "top pair with bad kicker..fold", "unless you can play back...fold"..you know.
But many times I find I am behind in the pot, I get a feel that I just donīt belong in the pot. But I get that feeling too often I believe.
As you probably already figured out, I am pretty tight passive player. I someone makes it 4xBB, and I am looking at AK, I usually donīt re-raise...because I miss the flop so often, and they always take the pot away from me.
They seem to magically "know" I donīt hit, or donīt have an overpair. :/
I play weak. Play tight. I finally flop a good hand, just to see everybody fold, or be drawn out on.
This results in very small winnings! And often losing big pots.
When Ed says, "You fold to much". Does this just refer to LIMIT poker, where it is obvious where you get much better pot-odds, than No-Limit Poker, where you often face 2-1 pot odds (pot bet).
Thanks! Great forum!
