Sorry to hear. Does this mean we shouldn't take your advice anymore? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I think I still know how to play poker. This is more of a psychological problem. I can't handle swings, I play when I'm too tired, poor game selection etc... etc...

Re: This may be Dan Druffesque...
me too.. say it ain's so paluka. poor game selection? every time i see the game going, it's full of donkeys and jokers. i'd say that if you sat in a random 1/2 game going on stars there's at least a 70% chance you're the best player sitting.

[/ QUOTE ] I have to admit I sorta threw game selection in there. I also have a problem where I try to play NL some times, but I think I tilt at NL because I'm not that strong of a NL player and it is easy to justify bad plays to myself. Mostly I'm just on a losing streak, and I'm not good at handling them. So it is best for me if I drop down to lower limits until I have a nice little run and feel good again. Then I can give myself a "damn, you are so good" speech in the mirror in the mornign the way guys like Bicylcekick, Phil Hellmuth, and El Diablo do.

[/ QUOTE ] Some of those seemingly donkish players play surprisingly well, especially post-flop. There are quite a few regulars or semi-regulars there whose only major weakness is they play too many hands. Most posters on these forum would not have much of an edge over them post-flop (if at all). And if your only edge is that you play better (tighter) pre-flop, you are going to have a small expectation relative to your variance. Can make for prolonged dry spells and losing sessions. And remember, even if you're the best player at a table, it doesn't mean the game is worth playing. It really is how BAD the worse players play that matters, not whether you're the best or 3rd best. And if you're playing 4 handed with a bunch of guys whose primary weakness is that they're too loose pre-flop, well, your edge is simply not very great.
