October Low-Content Thread

I find that to avoid personal tilt, it's almost always necessary for me to tighten up significantly after making a really bad mistake. Also, when I lose four or five hands in a row, regardless of how well or poorly I played them, I almost always just sit back and wait for a hugely profitable hand before getting involved again.

I believe that pushing too hard when your self-confidence is in a temporary well is increasing your chance of doing something really stupid.

Also it's extremely relaxing to play 9% VPIP poker.

I've hit a new low in my poker career, I just hit and ran a game for a whole 5BB. At least it was 100/200 =/ Step 1: make wheel on 5th street, step 2: sit out

The game looked a lot better when I was sweating it than when I sat and played a few hands.

Also I called for a new setup 4 times on Thursday night. In all the hours I have played live I had only called for setup once before in a game at Ocean's when I received 3 picture cards in like 4 orbits from the same color deck and they all had nail marks in them. At Commerce I kept getting hands with an Ace and they kept having a mark on them in one of the corners. Like I have noticed messed up random cards before that have resulted in having to get a new setup but this is like "wtf marked cards setup please"

I believe this is very good advice and an approach that has been very profitable for me, as well. (even though I don't really know what VPIP is)

until you fold 3 winning hands in a row preflop and then finally pick up KK and lose again, setting you on life tilt.

seriously if you feel you have to play 9% vpip poker then it's best you leave the table.
