Piece of advices please!

[attachiant]

After http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...&PHPSESSID=
I’ve tried to play better – just only three straight/flush draws, one gap draws, set or mid/high pairs – for one week and I think it’s catastrophic.

I mean of course I’ve got good results BUT I’ve the feeling that I play only every five minutes and it sucks.

Can someone give some piece of advices?

Thanks!

[/ QUOTE ]Here is some. I find your English charming, as, I am sure, does everyone else. Just for your information, what you want is "pieces of advice." See, "of advice" modifies - describes - the noun. The noun needs to be plural, not the modifier. For instance, you wouldn't say about M&M candies, "Give me some piece of reds." You want more pieces of red. Capiche?

The second piece of advice: if you want new input, you must give us new information. So, please post, using the Hand history converter in the thread pinned at the top of the stud forum, some examples of hands you think you can be playing better. Don't put in the results, whether you won or not isn't relevant. Put one HH (hand history) into only one thread. Do one or two at a time. The discussions that develop will be full of information for you.

Look at a few other threads in this forum for examples.

Its simple. He is playing very concrete poker and it bores him, because he has to fold many hands. Well if you want to win you are going to have to fold very many hands. So just start getting used to it. As you get better you will be able to notice when you have a slight advantage with hands that are not premium and still be able to continue with them.

Prax, not all of our users speak English as a first language.

I typically play two tables, and a lot of people play more than that. I'll typically do other stuff online, or I might thumb through baseball cards.

If you play live, you're stuck talking to your neighbor, watching TV, or ogling cocktail waitresses.

[/ QUOTE ] That's what I said! His English is charming, like a lot of non-English speakers, I thought he'd like to know how the plurals work. Andy, I've been posting on message boards for 15 years, I used to own one, I've talked to people from Russia, Japan, India and a few African nations not to mention Europe. I never met one who didn't appreciate a few tips on how the language works - or in the case of our bizarre language, barely works!
