Resolutions

citanul · #1 08-10-2005, 12:10 PM

A couple days ago someone made a post talking about how they were going to spend the next day or so actually working on their game for a change. I think that we'd alll likely be better players if we did this from time to time. Further, I think that putting what we want to work on in a public space always helps people towards their goals, for who knows what reason.

My resolution is to fold to more checkraises. Limit, NL, PL, whatever. Doesn't matter. I sit there saying things like "oh for god's sake (citanul) they have a set, you should just fold." And then the other side of my brain manages to both seize the control of the mouse AND THE MOUTH, and go "pshah (citanul), they're donks, no way they have that." My reads are good. I should trust them more, but for now, I'll work on folding to obviously better hands, even when they are donks.

What are you going to work on?

It's funny because I also am too thick to take my own advice. I had a guy with 0% PFR minraise in level 2. I had QQ so I made it 150 or so. He pushed. And before he pushed I thought "If he pushes he has AA". Of course I called. Of course he had AA.

So we're both donks, no?

I thought this post was going to be about monitor resolutions at first. 1600x1200 if requierd to 4-table without overlap.

What im going to attempt to work on is looking over my game more. Manually and with SNGPT. I wish you could still load HH into SNGPT like you were able to pefore PP updated.

I need to stop every so often HU decide post flop "I am winning this pot bitch, ALLIN" and then get called and lose.

Along the same vein, my resolution is to let more medium-high pocket pairs go when overcards flop and there's action to me. This especially includes hands like 88-TT when the flop comes something like Jxx or Qxx.

especially if you play against yugo, don't do that. he'll call you down with bottom pair bottom kicker.

holla.

Amen - my main whole is being smart enough to let "probable" second best hands go. Its far better to fold with the best hand then to call with the second best. My personal problem is assuming the other guy doesnt have what he's representing. Nota smart approach

I plan on putting the time to learn & play MTTs.
