Re: Is it so bad to be passive (a rock)?
[ QUOTE ]
Hi,
I have been playing since january, I had never played poker in my life. I deposited 200 and Only have about 450 now. Mostly because of the bonus, given that poker Tracker says that I am down 300. The thing is that the style of play that best suits me is passive. I was trying to "fix" my numbers and be more aggressive but it was a disaster; I lost a lot (later I understood this was a terrible mistake). During this process of change was when I lost most of my money. After I quit that, I have been winning again. Not much, but winning and sometimes break even.
The question stands: Is it so bad to be a rock? isnt Phil Hellmuth Jr., who is the consider by many the best player, or one of them, a ROCK?
thoughts please...

Read the Psychology of Poker by Al Schoonmaker. He discusse this exact issue.
Short answer is that you can do anything you want. Whatever brings you the most enjoyment. Just realise the potential consequences of your actions.
