Re: How do you know when you don\'t have the nerve for the game?
I'd like to thank everyone for their replies. I'm definately going to try to address my tell issues.
As for the game, My problem by in far is I'm systemically being blinded out of the game. I don't get a lot of premium holdings, and it's hard for me to loosen up as players get knocked out and the blinds go up. Typically, I play, the blinds increase, I realize I need to make a move before my stack doesn't have any intimidation factor (say, T500 when everyone else has like 5000 stacks, I try to make my move before then). Around this point, I do a bit better, but I can never make it out of the hole. It doesn't help that the games typically start maybe 7 handed (we don't typically have 10 people at our game). I've been futzing over reading Harringon on Hold Em, but I'm not really sure how much that would help. Opinions on this?
