Hi guys,

Just a quick question asking how i played.

I felt really good about how i played, some of the best online for a while in my opinion but i would like someone elses opinion.

As most of you know ive been taking time to reflect over my recent performances and Tuesday night live i played sensational comming second despite not having that many hands to play with but when i did i won big fortunetly and came second. Then going on to win a side table taking everyone out except for one person myself.

However online and live is differnt so just woundering if anyone could suggest where i still need to reflect.

Thanks,

Don


Also Flashflush i know you will mention my all in call with Q 10 but you had been doing it alot previously and didnt believe you had anything

    hi don

    you seemed to play solid poker in general, and finished in a decent position.

    The only thing i can think of, and you can correct me if i'm wrong, but i seem to remember you saying something about playing a hand because it was suited.  I cant remember the details but generally, pre flop, your cards being suited or not doesnt make much difference to your hands value.  Maybe thats something to look at mate...

    im sure the one you where on about there was when i played a suited Ace which i think most people do. Again in most circumstances this can be a very bad move

    You played solid poker from what I saw. Nobody wins them all m8. Be happy with your performance.

    if you are unsure where its going,

     right and wrong for you,

    best thing is when you cash or find during the game you are playing well on line ,

    note it down on pc, laptop or paper ,

    also do this when playing bad ,

    these you can refer and study later,

     for next time  you play,

    but as time goes on you will learn to store this info in that poker head of yours ,

    and have easy access to it .

    hope this is of help ,

    happy hunting m8y.

    From what i can remember you played ok m8. The fact you are using peoples images against them is very good. (maybe next time i will have junk ;-))

     Try and play in position and put out bets when people are checking. Don't play too many hands unless you are big stacked and bullying. If you start to get short dont be afraid to go all in if it folds to you, remember you can go all in with anything, they need a hand to call you. Poker is all about timing

    For the time that you were sat next to me you didn't do much wrong that i can remember. You were not shy of raising the sb when it was folded to you thereby putting me to the test with my bb. Keep on doing what you doing and you'll not go to far wrong. Hope i've been a bit of help.

    You're either playing solid poker or riding some variance, however i wouldn't worry about your ability when you've been in the money this frequently :)

    MTTs have very high variance, so if your results online aren't matching your live play, i'd put it down to that.

    thanks all

    I was pleased with my performance but because of a very bad down turn over 3 or 4 weeks i wasnt sure if i had just got lucky a few times. As a result i was wanting some outside influence.

    Thanks Flash. Table image is something i was not very good at and over a few days focused on reading about how some people play it. Unfortunetly when i decided your all ins where enough you actually had a monster.

    Sorry for taking you out chirker (cant actually mind i did it) but i mind being on your table and enjoyed the chat.
