Trying to become more of a winning player.
Let me start by saying, I have always been an aggressive player, but lately I have been trying to be more controlled. So far it is not working out for me. I think my biggest problem is variance, with some bad poker mixed in.
Here are some of the things I have done to improve my game. I have been studying winning players on pokerxfactor, I bought poker tracker, poker edge, and poker Ace HUD(Still haven't been able to get them working right), I have read countless books, etc... I have been watching my stats, and trying to keep my come into pot numbers around 19% - 20%. I should point out that I play mostly $5 - $20 45 ppl SNG's. I also play in MTT's with buy ins of $24+$2 - $50+$5. I will not lie, I am a losing player, I am trying to change that. I am not a player that is looking for a range of hands, but how do I know if I am playing too tight? I rarely will call on the flop if I miss. I need to have a good draw against the right player. Not just two overs and a gutshot straight draw(ex. AK with a QJ4 on board) unless the pot odds are right in relation to my stack size. I raise on the button when I feel it is a good bet, but I am not a loose cannon and raise just to raise and steal. I do not do very many button raises early. My range of hands is very tight early in a tournament. I used to gamble early when the blinds are low, but my philosophy now is to wait and use my chips to double up later in the tourney. The unfortune issue is that when I miss I am severly short stacked or broke. Any suggestions and/or advice would be appreciated. Thank you. |
