BROKE AGAIN
haha i went broke again was in a 2 week slump. some of it is prolly my fault and some of it might be because i hit s slump. maybe i need to hit a lower buy in, or take some time off the game. its just hard to try when the buy in is small... ive been playing for 9 months now and have gone broke alot. i have a full time job so i usually buy back in for 50 or 25 after i get paid.. havent felt like winning since i started this down hill slump.
what do you guys suggest i do? take a break/go to a lower buy in*which would be 1$/ or something else.. ok ok i know i suck but i do put in a effort in and out of the table.. alright thank GL! |

Re: BROKE AGAIN
Man, even Ken Warren's book helped my game. Every book helps your game because it makes you think about poker. Finish TOP.

It was the first poker book I owned, and not terrible for someone who has never played a hand in their lives. otherwise...... |

I chose it becuase it had the most money on the cover out of all the books on the shelf. I distinctly remember passing over a couple ugly books with relolvers on the cover or some crap. |

[img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Yugoslav [/ QUOTE ] Warren's book got me thinking about poker, rather than just playing robotically, because it was so bad that i needed to justify why what he said was wrong. Three things he said got me thinking. 1) something like "I'd rather play AK than AA because I lose less with it." Yeah, you know, I need to not go broke every single time I get a good starting hand and it totally misses. Although I'd rather play AA than AK because it's a better hand, there's some value in being able to lay it down. 2) "Cards can and do run in cycles. The theory of large numbers proves it." Total BS, but there's value in not being known as a high-card only player, especially in a ring game against the same players for ten hours. 3) His chart "Hand Rankings Based on Earning Power" Realize why this is totally subjective and useless without an extensive discussion on how it was generated, which of course he doesn't give. His explaination would probably be a load of BS anyway, but it made me think that any system that claims to "rank" starting hands is highly subjective and assumes a lot about your opponents. FWIW I was actually the worst poker player known to man for a month or so after I read that book and that jerk owes me the $400 I lost because of it. Then I burned his book. Slim |

Re: BROKE AGAIN
i spend a lot of time thinking about poker of course the more i think about the more i learn thats theres more to learn. so i have a bunch of books to read and 7-8 i have read with a few re reads. on a week i average 20-30 hours of play. but i think about poker and read prolly about that much if not more. the reason i think about the game so much is because i can do that at work. think about poker theory and how i should play every hand. maybe i just need more time
