I\'m really really sorry (a confession)
So I've been reading this forum (great), reading various poker books and building up my skills.
Always at very low limits, but I have been consistently profitable over about 200SNG (ITM ~47, ROI ~30). But things have recently started to go wrong. Firstly a string of bad luck has reduced my wins, and increased my seconds, and that reduced my income. My head-up play is not too bad, and I'm satisfied that it was just variance, and then all of a sudden I've started playing abysmally. Properly stupid. You know the muppets you see going all-in on the second hand with poor hands - its me! Two hands stick out: 1: Blinds 10/20, stacks even (~1500) 9 players. UTG raises to 40 I'm dealt Ah,Kh - re-raise to 100 foldsround UTG re-raises to 500. Thinks: He's got aces or Kings I should fold. So, I call to see the flop, miss and fold to a bet. He shows aces/ 2: First hand of a SNG(I know, I am *so* ashamed) Dealt AQs in CO. MP raises to 100. I call Flop comes Q-High rainbow. MP pushes. Thinks: Right, he's on aces or Kings, I should fold. Re-thinks: I've seen so many maniacs bluff here I'm going to call. So I do, and he's got Kings. All you guys give your time and effort to make me a better poker player, and it appears not to be working at all. At least recently. I think there is no hope. You at least though have the consolation that the money I have recently lost (only about $40 out of $400) has gone to you. Sorry for the long, boring post. Bookish |
