So I read NL theory and practice and dropped 8 buyins.
 

Took my only 3 hours. Although half the loss is attributed to 3 bad beats I still hate D.S. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

You shouldn't play poker while you're reading.

I guess Sklansky's imaginary number-crunching ("your opponent will fold 27% of the time, raise 42% of the time, and timeout from reading BBV 31% of the time) didn't help your game much.

You would have lost the same amount in one hour if you hadn't read the book.

My worst session was 3 buyins before reading NL T&P all in about 120,000 hands of NL.

I didn't even think I was doing very bad until I looked at my account at the end of the session. I never really got stacked except for the 3 times I got all in on flop and lost to 2 outers all three times on turn. I was just wittled away without knowing it.

Re: So I read NL theory and practice and dropped 8 buyins.
 

She looks like an overweight puppet in a ventriloquist show

edit: I think it's the chin/shape of her jaw

Re: So I read NL theory and practice and dropped 8 buyins.
 

Same here, 5 buyins.

I'd just gotten back from a cruise and read the book on the plane ride home. Maybe the two weeks away from poker had something to do with the suckitude though.

not the best pic of her. when she smiles tho, she lights up the room (and my world).
