Ok one last question. Can you talk about how you go about reviewing your play? Everyone says that just reviewing losing hands is a poor decision. How do you decide, out of thousands of hands, which ones to study/share/post?

[/ QUOTE ]

When I review a session (and I don't do it as much for NLH, but I do it for limit holdem and plo) I go through every hand.

First off, thank you Aba. I don't think you or Diablo realize how helpful and encouraging it is to have high stakes players spend a little time down here and share their insights and stories.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'd like to emphasize this comment, especially the part about it being encouraging. It really is. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Somebody asked about what are some good books for NL cash, and you said there aren't any. Have you read Phil's Little Green Book or NL Theory and Practice? I was considering getting them, and a high stakes pro's comments would be helpful.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes I have read phils book and it is ok but not great. NL theory and practice isn't very good either. I guess they will help your game put the forums are much better.

For those in SSNL that don't know, you can find one of aba's many credentials right here ----> http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...rt=all&vc=1

Aba, would you be willing to participate in a contest to see who could make more money in one day, you or all of SSNL?

[/ QUOTE ]

My god. For the NL200 6Max, he basically wins like 0.8 Buy Ins on every hand he's dealt, on average.

That's...quite crazy.

In the above stats from pokertracker, I can see that you almost always raise in a pot.

Do you still do that at a full table (10 players) or do you limp more with hands like 67s+,44+?

Effort and motivation, I think a monkey could beat the 10/20 game at party.

There are two whole forums of monkeys with thumbs that can't do that!

When decidign to post a hand do you have some type of guidline? I often go through old sessions but never find hands that I feel need to be posted. I can usually find the mistake right away but obvioulsy this is after the fact. Any suggestions so I dont flood 2+2 with trivial post?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think most hands you look back at and analys yourself and figure out what you need to do diferently. I think reviewing your session is a great tool for improving your play. So if you feel satified with the anaylsis of a hand then you don't need to make a post but when you review a hand and feel lost then posting will defn help you.

[/ QUOTE ]

what kind of hands do you look for when you're analysing your sessions? big pots? big losers, big winners? small pots, overall stats, etc.

oh, and thanks to you and everyone else who has hopped in the well. these threads have been invaluable to all SSNLers.

Just out of curiousity, I wondered what you made of H@££INGOL. He seems to dominate the 25-50 NL on stars, but you must feel he has exploitable weakness if you feel he is not one of the strongest players.
