Stars frustration

[MicroBob]

FWIW - there are posts like yours ALL the time on these forums.

- newbie doesn't know why he isn't winning, etc etc.
- veteran posters tell him "dude, work on your game."
= newbie EITHER acknowledges the possibility that he might not be as great as he thinks he is (not typical response) OR gets really defensive and stubborn and just thinks he's getting flamed (easily the more frequently chosen path).




Your response to the criticism was:

thanks for your honesty guys. I ceartinly do have a lot to learn. I've calmed down now, gonna call it a night, review the hands in more detail tomorrow, and keep plugging. I appreciate your help/truth

is one of the best I have seen from a new poster in a thread such as this.
That bodes VERY well for your chances.

I don't believe I've ever seen a thread like this actually continue with the struggling new poster saying 'thanks for the honesty guys' when he is essentially being told that he probably isn't a very good player.

you already have a great outlook. seriously.

You are interested in looking into your hands in more depth and figuring out what you should be doing better....which you should be doing anyway regardless of whether you have been winning or losing in the short-term...but there's nothing quite like a healthy down-swing to get those ideas of 'I better plug those leaks' in full gear.


Anyway - good luck.
And don't just look over your hands on your own.
Take a hand or two and post them in the micro-limit or small-stakes strategy forums.

And read some of the other threads over there, develop your own opinions on some of the hands there, and learn from the masters. some of the players that post frequently over there are REALLY good (and try your best to ignore the idiots).
