Re: Poker School Online?
Nice post. You didn't disagree with me at all, actually. One of the most common human faults is thinking everybody thinks the same as we think. They dont, esp. when someone is as thoughtful as you are, cp. You are a student of the game, far more so than 98% of the rest out there. You love this game with a passion, which is why you work your tail off and are successful far sooner than most.
Your way works because of you, not because it's the "right" way or the "easy" way. It may be the "right" way, but the far harder way. Unless you're that dedicated, it's perhaps the wrong way? Your girlfriend proves that there is a right way to play, by the book. That will consistently win some money at the lowest buyin SNGs, and produce a +ROI. It will not, however, maximize it, nor allow you to move up as more and more who are playing higher buyins are also playing it. When it gets down to bubble play, it requires more "feel" and adjustment and experience than "by the book." Those who get more 1st places than 2nd and 3rd are playing a higher game.
There are four things that are required to get from here (beginning) to there (winning): Knowledge, experience, patience and discipline. The first you can get from a school or books or the forum. The latter, most important things, come from playing thousands and thousands and thousands of times--hands, tournaments, hours.
Your "right" way is tougher and has greater risk than my "tight" way, which is to crawl-walk-run.
It's a long way to Tiperrary, with many roads to get there. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
