What kind of player are you?
After looking at my PT stats I realize that I'm like a power forward in basketball. I like getting 2 big cards, raising, and betting the entire way. I like stealing blinds. I play a position known for brawn and not brains so I dont make good folds. I play back when I know I'm toast. I call turn check raises. I need to add some small ball, some Steve Nash. A little Magic. Maybe it's because I play 6max, but wtf do I do with JTo? WIth 98s? with 44? I dont hit straights/flushes/sets. I lose to them with my top pair.
I think the problem stems from wanting to win too fast. I want to be playing 5/10 6max full time. But I can't because I try to win 10BB/100 @ 2/4 and 3/6 and end up going crazy and losing. if you're rolled for 1/2 ($600) and want to get to 3/6, it's $1200 you have to win. At 3BB/100 that's 20k hands! Raising A8o and betting the flop and turn into 3 players does not accomplish this. It hinders it. I dont know about you guys, but I know I need to SLOW DOWN, RELAX, and THINK rather than just charge head first into everything I see (although I am a rugby player so this is what comes naturally to me I guess). This post ended up being really bad, I'm sorry.

Re: What kind of player are you?
In the spirit of basketball, I'd consider myself an "Iverson-esque" player. Aggressive on offense and defense. Questionable decision making, bad attitude. When I'm hot I look like one of the best, when I'm off I look like a moran

Re: What kind of player are you?
I'm kinda like you too but for different reasons. I find myself overplaying hands not for the bankroll reasons but for the sake of being aggressive. When I'm in the pot I think that I should be able to win it too often and overplay my hand. I'm trying to break myself of this and say "it's O.K. to call sometimes". I'm a rugby player also so maybe that's got something to do with it.

Re: What kind of player are you?
I think I'm a Mark Madsen type player...
Not much talent but I seem to know what's going on and try my best to win.

As I read more posts of higher limits I realize that they have reads for almost every player at the table. I am lucky to get a read on more than one player. [ QUOTE ] I play back when I know I'm toast [/ QUOTE ] I also do this and although I am trying to seriously cut down on the number of hands I call down or reraise when I know im beat its still really hard for me. [ QUOTE ] This post ended up being really bad, I'm sorry [/ QUOTE ] I disagree

[img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Or I'll just assume for your sake that you meant one of the best at your level, and not amongst the general poker population! Wait till you are crushing 100/200, then you can walk around with your dillyflapper hangin' out sayin' stuff like this.
