I want to give OP an change to come back and answer some of the questions he was asked (eg Wookie wants to see a timeframe for the 117k hands) and prove everyone wrong...Im not that hopeful though so dont be surprised if one of us greens locks it sooner or later.

Guys, I am trying to learn this game and if I get blasted again I just won't hang around here. I have 3000 hands over 5 weeks (I know, not enough hands) but my stats are not changing. I want to learn as I go, I do not want to have 10000 hands and everybody tell me you should have done this or that. I am to tight and do not raise enough ie 18.7/6.1 I basically play starting hands that would fall into the loose table guidelines of SSHE. Do I need to start raising AJs, KQs, KJs and QJs from MP with a raise in front of me? Is SSHE chart to tight, I read an archieved post where Miller says if he would make the chart now it would be different. This guy has 117K hands and won't answer, help me, I will. Show me the starting hand chart that will loosen me up. see here http://archiveserver.twoplustwo.com/...te_id/1#import
Here is starting hand quiz
Quick raising quiz. Which of these hands would you raise?

1. Two players call to you on the button with QJs.

2. One player calls to you on the button with A9o.

3. Three players call, including the small blind. You have 99 in the big blind.

4. Button limps, small blind calls, and you have A7s in the big blind.

5. One player limps to you in MP with KJo.

6. One player limps. You have 77 in the SB.

The answer was raise them all, well 2 and 5 are not in the SSHE chart. Help me now, I am willing to work at my game

without reading the post:

1) call
2) fold or raise
3) check
4) check
5) this is a bit trickier, a bit villan dependant, you could probably make an argument for raising, calling or folding. I probably raise more often
6. hrmmm, probably raise this one.

oh, just got to the bottom of that... well, i guess i fail [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

As for the rest of the post:

Always raise AJs/KQs with no raise infront. I don't know what to do with KJs and QJs, I kinda limp and raise depending on whats happening. Ill raise if i think it will get me the button after a couple of limpers, ill limp other times after a couple of limpers, ill raise after a limper if i think it will thin the field, i will always raise first in.

hope that helps

1. Raise, 2. Raise, 3. check, 4. check, 5. raise, 6. this one can't be answered unless we know where this player limped from and who he is.

Sparky you need to just calm down. This is a fun game not work. When you are just starting new players don't always know when to be aggressive or how to read a table. Mostly because they don't have enough hands in and lack the exposure to situations that would make non-ABC plays work. Respond to some hands that have been posted to see where your ideas line up with the forum, get involved with some session reviews, post hands that you are confused about. Understand that just thinking about poker is going to put you ahead of a large percent of the people you play against.

As far as getting blasted goes, it may happen again if you break one of the rules of the forum or say something dumb with too much authority, hell, it's an internet forum it may happen for no reason at all. My advice is to not take it personally. If someone is saying you are doing something really wrong in a snarky way they have probably said the same thing a dozen or two times and are trying to entertain themselves. If you think you are in the right defend yourself, explain your actions, but be willing to accept you may be wrong. Running away isn't going to help your poker game. Being able to defend a position you've taken and change your position if someone shows you a better one is a valuable skill away from the table.
