Default So-Called \"DownStreaks\" ARE THE RESULT OF POOR PLAY!

If you're in one of these "so called" downstreaks that people on this board complain so much about, chances are that part of it is coming from your own poor play. One of the places to improve is in your blind play.

It is almost NEVER correct to fold in the small blind. Here's why: Lets Use 10/20 as an example. The small blind is $5. Assuming you are a winning player like me, you make 2bb/100, or roughly $80 an hour multitabling. Thats $640 a day, and $3,200 a week. The small blind is $5... How can you be so cheap as to not see a flop for $5 when you are making $3,200 a week? From a risk/rewards ratio it makes no sense. For god's sakes people, its just $5! And you can win so much more if you win the hand! All these people who advocate that you "fold preflop" when in the small blind are freaking morans.

On to the Big Blind: Why would you fold in the Big Blind if its only 1 more bet!?!?! You've already invested $10! You can't just let that go, it would be a waste of money. Once you've put money in the pot, if its only one raise, you are definitely committed to see a flop, like I explained before, its ONLY TEN DOLLARS AND YOU"RE MAKING $3,200 a WEEK!

Stop being so cheap, and your win rate might just improve.
