discipline o tilt i think the result are similar
I have found that i am going on tilt after I find i have been doing something wrong eg when i fold and everyone says I should call , so from then on i have been calling and it just gets worse
I think I have gotten on top of it again and back playing nice tight game with my usual steals and bluffs and hopefully with the fix and there have been a few fixes this last month so I will continue on and see how we go . hopefully i can report something a bit different in the future |

This is your problem. You aren't coming up against the same situations over and over, they all have different variables, which need taking in to account. So if someone says on here, that you should call a certain hand, the right decision could quite easily be completely different in a different match, v a different player, with different stack sizes, different game flow etc etc. Poker isn't a one size fits all type of game.

for what it is worth. You play the micro's like me still? Turbo or regular?
Stop barreling, or do it very rarely, like just on a draw heavy board with a scare card hitting the turn and only when against an opponent that is tight and controlled. Barreling mistakes cost a fortune in the later stages of a game!!!! We are just beginners!!! Most of our opponents are quite loose, you need to have value. Also do not try to catch villains barrels for bluffs, specially later in the game.
Review your games (like the biggest looser after a session) and check out what actions made you loose a big chunk of your stack. You will see sometimes certain actions repeat like:
For ex: Going to far with Axhigh kicker., Going to far with under pairs, medium pairs. Going to far with top pair against a extremely tight player that suddently is waking up (raising you). C betting to much against loose players without value.
Limping is fine, but when people attack your limps, then limp some stronger holdings as well and raise some medium holdings. However, if you limp with a very strong holding, then do not reraise his raise, unless you play a maniac since they will fold. Do not be afraid to fold preflop, but remember that a villain minraising every hand is actually doing you a favor each time you hold a good holding.
Trap the agro attackers by letting them bet into you.
Also: Playing to big of pots with medium holdings and to small of pots with big holdings...
Stop investing money in learning. Seems you have it all. Get rid of HUM for now. When i play i check free sharcscope or playerscope to take a look at villains last games/year. At the micro's you can see that winners will be tight agro players so DO NOT FIGHT their rare raises unless you have TOP holdings. Loosers will be mostly loose, to passive or to agressive.
Stop complaining about bad cards coming!! Poker is kung fu. You need discipline to make it and wisdom. Bad times come for all, and go away. However it is you that needs to remain steady and controlled. If you get al EMO, you are the kind of player the good players will seek out and destroy. Look for some good sites/reading focussing just on attitude and emotions when it comes to poker or life in general, i see no big difference.
If this does not work out for you, so be it. Poker is not friendly at all. Be prepared to face that it may not be beatable for you and consider better ways to spend your time. I did and still do, but i come back and feel like improving. The day i check my stats and see that by no means poker potential justifies the time and honest effort i spend with it i quit. Life is too short.
Just my idea...
Regards,
If you like you can send me a HH file and i will check it out, not that i assume to know much about it, but i may learn from it, so that is why i want to do it.

hi add me if you like and we can talk game i play at micros are std turbo and some hypers
as for poker it is my hobby and that is it , it would be nice to say i can make money from it regularly but it is not the only way I can make money so I can afford to try a bit longer at the HU scene , I 'l make it 12 months and then move back to tournaments I think
I have certainly learn a lot of stuff and i can see it helps me during hands that i would have otherwise folded and I manage to pick the extra pot here and there when i play cash and tourney so it is not a waste of time but I certainly have had a hard time understanding a lot of stuff due to some misunderstandings when i did the broker course and also to some stuff that just comes along and i may interpret wrongly or just some bad info i got here n there
long term i will be profitable at poker but probably never great
well you cant have every thing |

yep i think a lot of the problems i have are related to that , quite a few games i have had guys shove on me and i called thinking it was right and it was wrong so i am back to folding them again eg i have KK and board is all low and opponent shoves most of the time they have flopped a monster when they do that and after the KK hand i folded i have called nearly every shove but
I am over it and back on an even keel again |
