Pretty easy if you're a thinking player and can adjust quickly.

It's also pretty important that you do not tilt/lose your A game for a long streak.

Unknown Soldier · #**542** 11-13-2007, 03:26 PM

cool, might give a few of them a go. been donking around in the 20s/30s recently and ive not seen 1 remotely good player yet.

hra146 · #**543** 11-13-2007, 03:54 PM

you may wanna jump to the 55s immdediately then. Play a few and if you still feel the same go for the 110s.

Being a calling station is the first sign of a great player, interestingly enough its a strong sign your a bad player as well [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This is so true.

Here are two hands that explain why I hate myself sometimes. In the first hand, the guy is a nit, who wouldn't do that with KJ. He had 77.

River: ($132) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets $120, Hero calls $120.

Final Pot: $372

The second guy is not a nit, but he wouldn't do that without a queen. But there was so much money laying out there that I couldn't help myself. I should probably fold. It is marginal. River I am getting 4.5 to 1. In marginal situations I have no problem leaning on the side of calling. The first hand I am more mad at.

These bad plays by me get me steaming more than bad beats because I can influence them.

For those who are going through a [censored] streak, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. That is about 85 games in the center.

then I go on a little tilt, get it in with the rest of my chips bad, suck out myself and continue playing well.

After that 8 more AIs followed and in the late 75/150 stages I lose by SAGE.

SAGE? Is that the optimal pushing strategy? Is there a link anywhere couldn't see it in the sticky

daveT · #**549** 11-13-2007, 05:42 PM
