Re: Why aren\'t you better?
[ QUOTE ]
- I need to focus more on the tables to get reads. I am maybe more observant than most of my foes (no music, no tv while playing) but when I start 4 tables I am not watching closely the first two levels. Too many players on the screen for me. I start watching when the first 1.5 to 2 players dropped out per table. [/ QUOTE ] This is why I still haven't upped my table count, I can't resist AIMing ppl while I play. [ QUOTE ] - The biggest distraction I have is to watch when I'm racing. It's good to note my opponents cards to see whether I made the right decision but I still tend to watch the flop, turn and river to tally my luck ratio (opponent calls my pair with a weak Ace and I watch if he gets it). That has got to stop! [/ QUOTE ] I find that when I started doing this it helped me with tilt control, also.

Re: Why aren\'t you better?
[ QUOTE ]
- I know that I have to 100%ify my bubble play which I estimate to be at 80% only. I'm saying for weeks that I have to study more with SnGAnalyzer (or at all) but my time is limited and when I have time for poker I want to play! - I estimate my substandard move %age at about 10%. Should be easy to get this down to 3%. But I am not actively doing something to achieve this. - I estimate my donk move %age at 3% and it should be easy to get it down to .5% (1 donk move per any 200 hands). But I am not actively doing something to achieve this. - I need to focus more on the tables to get reads. I am maybe more observant than most of my foes (no music, no tv while playing) but when I start 4 tables I am not watching closely the first two levels. Too many players on the screen for me. I start watching when the first 1.5 to 2 players dropped out per table. - My biggest progress in the last 2 weeks is this: When I feel the urge to gambool on a big hand but at the same time have some lingering doubt about it - being it a read or a voice in my head - that I stop, think and try to make the best decision that I can. Before, when in doubt I just pushed or called. I feel that alone has given me a 10% ROI boost. - The biggest distraction I have is to watch when I'm racing. It's good to note my opponents cards to see whether I made the right decision but I still tend to watch the flop, turn and river to tally my luck ratio (opponent calls my pair with a weak Ace and I watch if he gets it). That has got to stop! So much to do, so little time... [/ QUOTE ] Hmm.. same for me! A way to make less donkish moves is simply by focusing better, I think. Yesterday I was way too tired to play, yet I did play, of course, and I pushed one time when there was one guy on the bubble who had only 1BB left. Someone called and I busted out. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] That was 100% due to lack of focus. Combine that with 'verbalizing your thoughts' (which means actually thinking the hand through, with words, in stead of just doing. It's from Psychology of Poker), and I should do better. BTW, I just read in an old thread that some of you guys only make notes on the good players, so you can select your tables better by avoiding them. But this way you don't have notes on the donks. Anyone use this way of table selection/making notes?

Re: Why aren\'t you better?
In the lower buyins, the games fill up too fast to really read the notes and decide where to sit or if to play at all. At the higher buyins you can wait a bit.
Whether or not just marking the good players is optimal for you depends on what your objectives are. If you are trying to improve and move up, I'd suggest taking a lot of notes and trying to use them. It is another skill that needs practice.
