ok ive thought about it. in my opinion the best options are as follows:

1. quit poker. seriously not that bad an option.
2. hire a hypnotist to make you forget all that you have read, costly, but longterm +ev.
3. find a solid brick wall and bang your head against it til you develop amnesia and forget, probably not recommended due to chances of skull fracture etc.

What's amusing about you talking crap like this is that I remember you ~8400 posts ago.

Funny but that doesn't help much. I went here looking for help and you laugh at me. I'm in a beginner section of the forum and people laugh at beginners. Maybe I'll quit that forum before quitting poker.

Don't confuse beginner with micro. Skill and stakes are indpendent of each other. Micro only means we're more likely to be nits with our money.

You're not in the Beginner forum.

It's written in the FAQ:


"1. Posting guidelines and etiquette.
The micro limit forum is meant for the discussion of micro limit Texas Holdem and issues that are relevant to beginning and microlimit players. (...) Micro limits refer to Holdem limit games with stakes less than $2/$4, but this forum also functions as the de facto limit Holdem beginner forum"

That's only because you would naturally expect beginners to start at micro levels. However, many of the posters here are very experienced limit hold'em players whom you can learn a lot from. Or not.

wtf is with all the hate... im not talking crap on the poster.

im talking crap on HELLMUTH's BOOKS

they will make you a worse player, and waste your time.

i know this because when i first started i read ken warren, who admittedly is even worse. nothing in the entire world could make you worse at poker than reading a ken warren book and taking the advice given in it as serious. you have a better chance of winning by training a monkey to just click buttons randomly. and from what i have seen hellmuth isnt much better. hellmuth is a great player but a terrible terrible writer and taking his advice will hurt you.

just go out and get SSHE, read it and understand it.
