What stats did you look at when facing a difficult decision vs. various opponents? What HUD stats did you put on the table? [/ QUOTE ] I never use HUD stats. I went purely on feel as well as reads. I copy paste ANY hand history into the notes (played on stars and fulltilt) that will tell me exactly how the player plays. I am an avid note taker because the more raw information you have on a player, the better the decisions. I guess I should have used poker HUD, but was always too lazy to get it.

[ QUOTE ] 3) No longer felt happy playing poker. [/ QUOTE ] Any specific reason for this? (downswing, moral, social...) [/ QUOTE ] Poker became work, it became a grind. The money I won from poker made no difference whatsoever to me. I never really needed to spend a lot anyways. I also didn't like who I was becoming. I was starting to hate normal human beings that I have no reason to really hate, but because of the nature of the game, I turned myself into a person who doesn't care about his fellow man. Didn't like that. I realized I felt happier giving someone a smile with a helpful article than giving them a frown while taking 200 bucks from them.

[/ QUOTE ] Well, for the last 20k hands, I have been playing without a HUD aswell, and it has improved my game alot. I could use some help with note taking though. What do you think would be the most "noteworthy" plays in uNL / SSNL ?

Re: Ask me Tien anything thread
The best notes are copy pasting hand histories because you get to "feel" the way he plays with each bet he makes.
Write down ANYTHING you feel could help you with a decision later on. "calls garbage hands oop" "floats with QK on 4510 board" "Likely to fold to 2 barrel bluffs" etc etc. Put down whatever you think will help.

Re: Ask me Tien anything thread
Sorry for all these questions, but Im taking advantage while I still can [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Eventhough I think uNL and most of SSNL is not the place to be slowplaying any hands, are there situations where you do slowplay?

Re: Ask me Tien anything thread
Thats really really player and board dependent and what hand I put him on.
But as a general rule of thumb, if I ever slowplay the flop, I will almsot never slowplay the turn. Gotta get money in there sometime.

[ QUOTE ] Why are you stopping playing? [/ QUOTE ] A few reasons. The biggest ones being: 1) I want to concentrate on other things such as real estate investing. [/ QUOTE ] I also have some RE investments. What type of REI are you interested in? What area of the country? In your hometown or out of state? As far as poker, it's just a little hobbie for me. Since I don't play for high stakes, its not that stressfull and 'work'. It is a grind, but still fun as I see it as a game. I'm up 80 buy in's in 1.5 months playing 10nl so it's fun at the time....

Re: Ask me Tien anything thread
Hi Tien. Thanks for doing this. When the SB completes my BB, I always think to raise that [censored] up. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
My question: First orbit at a 6-max table of unknowns. UTG, UTG+1 folds, limper in MP and it's folded to you in the BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. You raise to 5BB. Limper calls. Flop comes A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. 1) Check or bet, and why? Suppose you're on the button, 3) MP checks the flop, do you bet or check, and why? 4) MP donkbets 1/4 of the pot, do you raise, and why? 5) If you would know villain better, which reads would you incline to check and which to bet (or to call/fold in Q4)? Thanks again.

But I am looking into all sorts of estates, right now in the residential area in my city but I will most likely branch out into commercial estates. Im still educating myself though.
