First off I'm pleased to report I'm noticing an improvement in my play and out come.
Online I'm winning regularly. While in Vegas I held my own at the lower limit tables. Last night at the local indian casino I faired pretty well. My one HUGE mistake was just plain stupid ( floping a set with pocket Kings, then punishing the 2 callers not realizing that the flush had hit the river ). Aside from that
and playing K-10 to liberaly. I felt good about my play.
Only playing hold'em for a few months I was always at a table with more experinced players. On the
last table where I spent the last 3 hours , I sat with 3 regulars ( who knew all the dealers, other
regulars, and waitresses ). All three played tight 2 out of 3 very, very tight. Realizing this I got
in on more hands that they were not participating on to collect on the other lesser players. My bluffs were
working on the right players time and time agian. I got out when I questioned hands agianst the better looser
player. Who was very crafty switching up his play often. Check raised the better players to capitalize on my
winning hands. I felt I have been playing more naturaly. I realize I have only taken a small baby step, and have so much to still learn. Not to meantion catching some good cards and great rivers. Am I getting ahead of myself ? what should I be careful of when playing well. I feel good about playing better , but not over confident. I do notice I start paying less attention
to odds, and at times position. If I can out play a particular player and have a moderate hand I go for it. Stealing blinds, ect.
Excited about my play , but nervous of my new found confidence.
any advice or comments greatly appreciated.
