To be constructive the stuff I saw u pull on AP was say playing 5 handed and 3 betting my UTG raise with 95s.....rather than what might be referred to as 'techical errors'

I'm going to take Dean's observation and some of my own from UB and extrapolate that you generally show insufficient respect to aggression in the absence of clear justification for doing so. That can mean 3-betting significantly light or making loose calldowns. As with many players, this seems to occur more when you're winning/running good.

A piece of general advice I give to my students is to look over your hand histories with a respected friend or coach and try to identify shaky/bad plays. Having done that, try to see if you can find a common thread to your mistakes. More often than not, you'll find that your mistakes are of a sort, that they adhere to some sort of pattern. Aside from what I offered above (from my admittedly vague recollection of having played against you awhile back and a snippet of another poster's commentary), what did you notice? Provide some manifestations of the general trends you notice in context for conversation.

i cant remember the last time i 3bet an utg raise w/ 95s 5 handed but ive 3bet worse however those are rare plays, do u guys never throw in garbage? most likely its done versus steals but not always

as far as loose calldowns i probably call down lighter than most high limit players and am always trying to put ppl on a hand and will go with my reads no matter what the board shows(probably dumb sometimes), problem is i tilt and throw in too many frustration calls i think or when im winning i feel unbeatable

ive played this way for years though with success except in 2007, im wondering if ppl are too good now or not enough fish in the games, or maybe my luck has ran out

i used to play with u all the time on Paradise, i think the games now are a 1000 times harder than on paradise 40-80 and I think with the great players left online, we cant really LAG it up anymore and have to play a lil tighter.
