step 1: run hot
step 2: move up

Nice post Baluga

This confidence part is the most important bit for me. I think your right playing alot hands at a level is the only way to give yourself it. When I move up I need to stop playing slightly differently at first too(like yad) but really should just try and play my normal game

I'm gonna finish 20k hands at NL50 6max and then maybe move up - I was considering only 10k hands but think this is too small.

Even though 20k isn't enough to give our true winrate it does imply that we're more likely to be a winning player where as the opposite means we're more likely to need to improve. In this game with uncertainty we have to go on all the information we can get.

Hopefully I'll soon be making monies with the Whale -

So now you've been playing a lot (like I did), and lets say after 20k hands of 25nl 6max you beat the game for 4ptbb/100 (like I did). Well you weren't satisfied with that, so you played another 20k hands and raised that to 6ptbb.

Chances are this is variance. It doesn't really matter though, if your winrate is positive, you are almost guaranteed to make more money at a higher stake.

Remember this one...

I know a lot of you are interested in loosening up your game, I hope this was somewhat of a brief outline. It's not as long as Pokey's... but then again, Pokey can't count to 1600.

Baluga - tl;dr ...

well OK I sort of skimmed it and then read it properly when it turned out that it had good stuff inside.

"Confidence is the preference for the habitual player of what is known as (Pokerlife!)" as Blur almost said once.

Be confident - be positive - be aggressive - and you'll tend to win a lot more than you lose.

Of course you need some kind of skill to know when to be aggressive - who to apply the thumbscrews to and when - and what cards are pretty to look at but useless to play.

My new improved theorem of Poker playing states:

"If you are not confident that you are the best player sitting at the table - then get up and find a table where you are"

Balanced against that always be brutally honest with yourself about exactly how good you really are - realise that no matter how hot you run or how much you learn there is always much more to still discover about poker - there is no substitute for experience at some point in their lives every player who hs played the game knew less about poker than you do now, there is no shame in slugging it out at the low low limits (which in comparison to higher limits are much easier to beat cos people are soooo loose) building up a bankroll and building your confidence.

Learn to stand up - then learn to stand up well then learn to walk, run, stand on your head turn cartwheels and run rings around other players later...
