1600 posts and I don\'t still know anything (little content)
Hey guys,
I've reached 1600 posts, read a bunch of books and posted many hands, and I don't feel like I've gone as far as I could have during this time. I do want to thank the people that have helped me get this far though. For the official record, my winrate is 2 to 3/100 on party's .5/1, I get the snot beat out of me at 2/4 and 3/6, and I figure probably 1/3 of my advice is accurate (which is super-sweet compared to a few months ago). The point of this is to say that post-count doesn't indicate skill, as SCFuji, Isura, IStewart and a few others have all shown that they're really strong, improving players, and have smaller post counts than I. Hopefully with some work I can catch up to them. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] --Dave.

[/ QUOTE ] Must be a bad reflection on the books you've read and the forum itself?

What do you think the biggest problems in your game are? [/ QUOTE ] Oh shit, sir! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Um... tough to say, as I've been playing a lot of NLHE lately. However, to start with a few: 1) I don't play PF like Miller. I'm generally a little tighter and more passive. 2) Flop play seems to be a big hole in my game, specifically, I call too much (though I maintain 2.5-3.5 aggression on this street). 3) I'm calling too much on the river when there's only 7-8bb in the pot. 4) I never slowplay. 5) I've been screwwing up a lot of hand-reading, at least, in the forum. 6) I'd like to learn more of the math of the game: memorizing pot odds and flop to river odds. 7) I'd like to know more about my odds of hitting different types of flops based on my hands. 8) I'd like to know how strong my hands are in relation to my opponents' potential starting holdings, and know equities that different hands have against eachother. 9) I'd like to work out my effective odds as well as implied odds rather than just pot and implied odds. With different numbers of callers, raises, etc. It goes on. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] These are things I can work on, for sure. It's just a matter of time and effort.

Suggestion:
I have a hard time bridging the gap between reading books and playing, so I have done the following... After a playing session, revisit sections of books that apply to hands you ran into while they are fresh in your mind. I realize you can post them, but it easier to remember the lesson by searching for the answer. Rewrite/take notes on books into your own words in a notebook. This has really helped me to organize my thoughts for playing. A plus for me also because it made me feel like I was back in school. Ah to be young and broke again.

The point of this is to say that post-count doesn't indicate skill [/ QUOTE ] User "David Sklansky" has only about half of your 1600; he has 823 posts. I myself lurked on rec.gambling.poker for over five years without a single post. You can't call me an RGP newbie, but I still have a post-count of zero there. Anyone who considers post-count alone is misguided.

Knowing what you don't know is a good thing, a lot better than not knowing what you don't know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
