Re: Advice needed
"the best way to improve results will always be to surround yourself with retards. not, mediocre tags or spewy lags. find legitimate uber fish. only play at tables with multiple monkeys."
I cannot even begin to express how much I agree with these words. But the interesting part is not that I agree with them, but rather that so many players still dont understand how important these words truly are.
Once you know the fundamentals, the vast majority of your results is going to be decided by table/seat selection.
Whether someone plays poker, invests in common stocks, plays blackjack or bets on sports, before they wager a cent of their money they better be able to accurately assess their edge becuz in the end thats what it all comes down to: Your edge. If you have a large edge you invest/wager your money. If you dont have an edge you dont play. Its that simple.
When I play poker or invest in stocks. I dont look for small edges. Those kind of edges dont interest me. I only look for large edges. If I dont have a strong advantage I'll go watch a movie or something. Put another way, If I had the choice between a 15/30 game with a small edge or a 3-6 game with a large edge I'll take the 3-6 game every time. No that last part may not be completely rational since it can very well be the case that my theoretical earn will be higher in a 15-30 game with a small edge than a 3-6 game with a large edge, but nevertheless thats how I approach the game. For me its all about edge.
