Default Re: lightbulb moment

I don't think there was a moment that I 'became' a winning player. I started off winning because I played ultra-tight. I remember reading Phil Hellmuth's book, (I seriously recommend not reading this!) and the thing pointed out repeatedly in that book was tight tight tight.

The point where I made the biggest stride was the concept of pot equity and a value bet/raise even when drawing. It was completely foreign to me at the time, but really changed my game.

Expected value, protecting, value bets, equity. All these things were 'lightbulbs' for me - some brighter than others.

Oh, and finding this board was more like a 10,000 watt lighthouse bulb! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
