Wonder why you aren\'t kicking azz? Maybe I know
So you are wondering why you aren't kicking azz at poker? Suppose you are playing online and have been at the table for 15 minutes. Here are a baker's dozen questions for you to consider:
1) What type of player do your opponents think you are? (good/bad - weak/aggressive - tight/loose and you should ask the same questions about every player on your table) 2) Who had to rebuy 3) Who might be on tilt 4)Who is catching cards and playing well right now 5) Who plays well preflop and who plays poorly 6) Who plays well postflop and who plays poorly 7) What will each player at your table raise with from each position 8) What range of hands will each player call with/ call a raise with 9) What players will often steal your blinds 10) What players can you steal blinds from 11) Who likes to checkraise 12) Who likes to slowplay 13) How does each player play their AK and AQ when they don't hit the flop/turn Scoring: Out of 13 questions, you only understand about half: read Super/System, Winning Low Limit Hold'em, Small Stakes hold'em. Out of 13 quesitons you understand them all, but only can answer 3 about your opponents: you probably are not a winning player Out of 13 questions you at can answer 5: you are probably on the roller coaster and show a little profit (and may multi-table games) Out of 13 questions you can answer 7: you probably do well, making over 1BB/100 Out of 13 questions you can answer 8: you probably make 2BB/100 Out of 13 questions you can answer 9-13: you probably make more than I do. Want to win at poker? Learn to answer these questions quickly - and apply them to your play. Want to kick ass at poker? Apply what you think your opponent is thinking about your play to every hand you are involved in. You think winning poker is easy? Learn to work on you play - while you are playing. I't fun, but it is still work - so, get to work. Good Luck. And FWIS, I only scratched the surface. Dogmeat [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] |
