Dummy needs help with poker basics!
I have been told I am stupid and know nothing about NL by a top poker pro. He is too busy making money to tell me what basic concepts I am missing.
I believe NL poker is completely situational and your success is dependent on the decisions you make regarding the likelihood of opponents hands in certain situations and how they are likely to react to your check, bet or raise decisions. Because decisons are made under uncertainty top players can easily disagree on betting decisons given their view of their opponents and their view of how their opponents see them. These decisons can be honed through lively discussion on boards such as this where both sides can give their thoughts and opinions without fear of personal atacks. I am a winning $5 $10NL B&M player for the past 2 years of play who would like to improve his game to move to the higher levels. My aggression and player reading capabilities need to improve to reach that next step and I look to this board for help. I would be most appreciative of any advice or comments anyone may have about any faulty logic you see. Thank you!

Post some hands on the small stakes board. Listen to what people say when they respond to you. Improve. That's a good recipe for all of us.

Re: Dummy needs help with poker basics!
You can post 5/10 hands here - other people post a lot smaller stakes and no one says anything.
If you are consistently beating the Commerce 5/10 game, then you are not a bad player. El Diablo is not a poker pro, and even if he was a dick to you, you should probably just suck it up and forget about it. Everyone should back off - Just post some hands - It will help your game a lot. BTW, uderstanding the math in Mason's post means very little in terms of being a winning player - especially if you play live.

I think being able to think out a little one or two step decison tree with various probabilities is helpful. But I would not call a $150 preflop reraise at Commerce with AQ, no doubt!
