Discussion: Can I win at 10/20 by playing straight-forward poker?

That second hand is just...ouch.

Anyway - hang in there. I think one of the hardest things I have had to learn is that I don't always have to try and make moves to win at this level. That's hard to follow through on when you finally catch a guy bluffraising you with 6-high whose aggression you have been folding to for the past 15 minutes. In other words, for most players, flashy gambling moves might work in the short term, but in the long term they are just going to kill you.
