Default Re: Don\'t count the bets, then.

thanks for you advice i think what you're saying is the right way for me to play. paying less than perfet attention to the pot will allow me to pay more attention to the other things that come more natural to me.

Actually, I think this is a bad idea. It's natural (and easier) to concentrate on improving the things you already do well. However, your game will improve more if you concentrate on improving the things you don't do well.

Counting the size of the pot is extremely easy to do. It just takes a little practice. It's much easier to count bets as opposed to counting the actual dollar value of the bets/pots. Also, you don't have to count each bet as it's put into the pot - you can wait until the end of the round and quickly add up the bets that went in that round.
