not a rant

edited July 2011 in Area 51
after deciding i was far too tired to play poker last night..I dragged myself wearily to bed...but since my wife was snoring heavily...(which in her defence...she probably wasn't...a pin drop is expolosive when your this tired)..however the exhaustion induced paranoia led to more fear of death by aforementioned "knicker elastic" so armed with my stronger and much improved gameplay i rose and entered a tourney..then quickly another..lol....and bombed out of this too...with the sound of the mighty dohs "how can you take this guy seriously"...ringing louder than quasimodo's dinner bell in my ears.  Not overly worried..bar tha cash loss..as at least I could pinpoint the faults...i.e. me...lol..  Third one much better..though sitting long time without feasible playing cards...and slapped on the wrist when I tried to steal perceived weak hands...I finally bowed out with a board flopping 2 3 4 of clubs to my 10 5...but caught with pocket k 9 of same.   Though was delighted to have played well...as in two occassions i would have pushed all in post-flop..but didn't..and both times was caught..but still playing....Though sometimes i feel i could have took more chips from pots...i will no longer be pushing all my chips in when there is potential to get beat on turn or river...unless to induce a fold...This advice could have came from many quarters...but it didn't it came from doh...and credit where  credit is due as it's not the first time i've acted on such.  However valuble here...I shouldn't have been playing...in the immortal words of the dude..the duder...and your dudeness..."I just dropped in..to see what condition my condition was in".

Much refreshed today..and will now play for a few days...before coming back to this fantastic forum...and giving an honest opinion of how i perceive my adapted play has proved....and even if I play badly...i'll return...and lie through my teeth...lol....but at least i'm being honest about it...AVE

    if you are infront when you are pushing and they catch 1 of onle a couple of card, how can that be bad play..

    if you set your stall out early and show them hands..(use thise facility) and they will know you have the hands you are betting...

    either that or they are just dont watch the game..

    i myself have had a bad run of late . played badly in some games and won.  played well and won.. played well and lost...

    but the annoying thing is when they do call from behind and catch that 1 card out of 2 on the river...

    you can do nothing about that.. if you always let hands get to the river their is more chance that the other players will win.. they have more cards to play ...

    I woke up this morning with the sun out shining in
    I found my mind in a brown paper bag but then
    I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
    I tore my mind on a jagged sky
    I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

    is it feasible to call hands such as 10 3..7 2 unsuited etc even to a small raise..and no following players?..as it can be gut wrenching when they fill a few times...(though i dont usually...and dont uaually let it annoy me...as if u called them all your tourneys would br much shorter

    Dunt do it!

    You can raise with them if you want.....

    Remember betting and raising is better than calling, because it gives us 2 ways to win, either at showdown if we have the best hand, or when our opponent folds! 

    2 chances of winning is better than 1! ;)

    i am sorry to say, there is nothing worse in poker that a flat call on the blinds. you see it all the time...

    you either have a good hand or a bad hand . you see the whole table flat calling (family pots). if one person raises then they take the rubbish cards out of the equation(SUPPOSEDLY)...

    I try not to flat call any one, when they flat call me i raise to see what they have...

    ofc its  best to sometimes call. Playing poker never calling would be really bad. Raising is not always better than calling, in fact quite often its not
