My biggest leak

I get impatient when I'm card dead. I lose in the way you'd expect.....bluffs & generally loose play. Who else suffers from this and how do you fix it.

play more tables at once, so you get dealt playable hands more often.

If I'm card dead and getting frustrated, I try to take a break for a little bit. If I feel a tilt coming on and I'm too stubborn to take a break I like to buy into a cheap SNG or two and donk it up for a bit.

you can't bluff donks. playing 12 tables, in my case anyway, will make you tighten up because sometimes its too much to do something marginal if you have a real hand on another table to focus on. I'm not saying it will end altogether, you just wont feel compelled to do it as much.

my bad, I post slow. if you all ready play 12, get one of those ball-on-a-string-cup games.

Don't you 12-table 1/2? This post doesn't seem too serious [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

yea...people telling him to play more tables etc. are a little off base. Just learn how to play scs and one gappers and play small pairs for more than set value. This should give you enough to do a lot of the time. If you are still too bored then I'd open up the CO and btn steal ranges to basically atc. Adding 1 hu table can do the trick too since you always have action hu.

WTF? 12-tables and you are still card-dead. What is your stats 4/4? Sorry but I cant believe it but if its true where you are playing? If Stars/FTP/Party switch to some poker-room where multitabling is very uncomfortable.

For example I am playing at Prima Network and I am 10-tabling here. Its very uncomfortable because you have to search active tables and it takes much longer to find table manually, making decision, searching another table etc... I think most players are not capable to make same quality decision in 10 Prima tables as they do in stars.

I 12 table at like 19/14 and find myself card dead with no hands to play all the time. Its not like it doesn't happen.
