The mistake you are making Rob is that you are failing to recognise that Poker is a zero-sum game. In other Casino Games Blackjack Roulette etc are negative -sum games. The Casino has an edge, therefore over time you will lose. The same with betting on the Horses, the bookie sets the odds. With Poker you are playing against the other players, with the house making their money from the rake. If you can therefore beat the others players at a greater rate than the rake it is very possible to be a long term winning player. That being said the estimate is that 8% of online players are showing a profit which means there are a lot of losers. I know I am winning because I use software to track my tournaments. The accepted measure is ROI (return on investment) which shows I have made 17% profit over 4000 tournaments since May last year. The mistake a lot of players make is moving up in limits too fast, a sort of Peter Principal, where they keep moving up until they reach a level that they cant beat then lose all their money. I have been very conservative and play at a low limit I know I can beat.

Never been in a casino in my life. Ive never been in a bookies either.

My daughter had a few years of being bullied, not physical but mental. Harder to deal with in a lot of ways. As for Grow up and stop being a twat

There is truth in what you say, but you cant just blame the parents. Dont underestimate the power of the food industry to feed us unhealthy shite for profit. It is not as easy for a poor uneducated family to eat healthily as you seem to think

translation into English please........................ Yeah yeah. Rob playing the innocent. Quit trying to hustle me

I like the new thread for every joke tactic myself

Tis true, but I have the same veto power over her. So a time will come soon enough where she'll get sick of the set-up and give in completely. I'm just biding my time. Yes thats the way it works

Thats right. You let evreybody know who is boss

Dont knock it, I reckon half the board dont see any news at all when Rob is on holiday

King of the geeks (sorry Craig)

If you were card dead why were you seeing flops?

Alreet big balls, my man is up as much as anyone else's tbh, it's just I live in a democracy. It would be a perfect sytem if only you had a vote..........

That post has meade me even less confident for some reason

Practically Mother Theresa tbh

I dont even try to steal the blinds until they get to be 10% of my stack, and by then I am in all in or fold mode. The cards you hold are less important than position and stack sizes Avoid stealing from small stacks because they are desperate or big stacks because they can sfford to call, try and spot the people whohave a medium/decent stack and are trying to fold into the money. Also try to spot people who limp in and fold to a raise, if somebody limps and you push it takes a monster to call with the limper still to act Late in the game if it folds to you in the button or SB it is usually profitable to push any two cards if you have less than 10bb this link is gold People tighten up near the bubble and play to loose early game. Your biggest advantage by looking to survive the early rounds and then exploit weakness at the bubble.

How nerdy is this making Peasepud look

One thing you need to try and learn to do is put people on a hand, or work out the range of hands people are playing. A trick someone taught me was to do a commentary during the early game. So when people raise or limp in early on you go xxxx limps in and folds to a raise or xxxx raises early position with a pair of eights, and it helps to imprint the likely hands people have for later in the game. You really want to identify the players who are likely to fold to try and steal their blinds, and those who will call loosely to try and pay off your good hands.

You shoud definately play two. Start one up and then start the other after the first three levels. The early game is all about folding anythng apart from major hands, and then you will have one game coming up to the interesting part all the time

A big advantage of playing more tables is you make the decision on the hand, and then move on to the next table. This means you miss the agonising wait for the cards to arrive and so you miss the bad beats happening, which helps with the tilt control. It does mean you have to set aside some study time to go through your hand histories to try and work out what happened in some games, and spot any mistakes as you dont realise at the time. I beleive that is what work is for

No I start them all up and open another one as soon as I get knocked out. It does take a bit of getting used to but I am trying to be more disciplined as I had got into the habit of playing two and browsing forums and watching tv at the sme time. Playing four means I concentrate more on the tables.

I play 4 at a time and start another up as soon as I get knocked out of one.

I played 24 last night one first, five thirds and a beautiful 18 OTM. Stupid bloody game. I listened to disc 1 btw. Really good sound advice, but be a bit careful on applying too much of it to the short stack SNG game. A lot of the suited connectors and post flop stuff will just get you into trouble in SNGs because if it doesnt work you are left short stacked straight away. I do like his stuff on aggression and position

no offence taken Just comes to my head and gets posted, clears the clutter. Quality control? Who are you to decide if they have not all been quality. Everyone gets some form of response so someone was interested. It keeps the activity rate up on the forum during off peak times. If you do not want to read don't I'll not be offended. If it is a problem I'm sure the mods would mention it and I would reduce the posts. I enjoy them, especially after you said about your employees all thinking you are working hard.

Better place with him; I suffer from this same lack of quality control in real life. I am not knocking him, I even saw him play
