I want to make sure I stay away from autopiloting and just always making the standard play.

Sure, if you're deconstructing a hand in a DC post you can look really smart and determine the correct play. However, if you're playing 12+ tables, you can't be absorbing all of the information and going through intricate thought processes on every hand. There's always going to be lost information/opportunity. Autopiloting increases as the number of tables increase. There is a certain point for every person where the value gained from adding tables is less than the value lost from less attention per table. In my opinion, it's especially silly when people say they are playing 10+ tables at micro stakes. Why? If you're playing micros, you're most likely a new/poor player who is working to improve their game. (Almost) no one is sitting around grinding 12 tables of $5 or $10NL for fun. So yea, I agree with your general assertion. Play fewer tables, pay more attention, and focus on developing and applying your fundamental understanding of the game.

A coach is prob one of the best investments you can make imo. Yeah 6k hands is not that much at all tbh :) If you want to talk more you can add my skype, Jaxgard :) Mon, 14 Nov 2011 09:57:40 +0000 /blogs/zankaa/48361-Going-to-have-a-session-with-Jamie-Glazier#comment108141 /blogs/zankaa/48361-Going-to-have-a-session-with-Jamie-Glazier#comment108141 zankaa Comment on Nl1k by zankaa sorry for the dealy in response here. A few things; you say that you cant play 2-3 tables to get out of micros quick. I dont agree, My mindset-coach has a routine where you should try and play 2-4 tables for a certain amount of time, not sure how long. And like 90% of the players that did this said they liked it more than multitabling And that they earned more or the same whilst beeing able to play longer sessions. The same was true for me when I moved up, never, never never played more than 4 tables. BR management etc is individual but if you are not living on poker like 30bi and a very flexible mindset for moving up or down in stakes is prob the best way to go for alot of people, that could be a very long discussion tho :) Mon, 14 Nov 2011 09:53:33 +0000 /blogs/zankaa/74731-Nl1k#comment108131 /blogs/zankaa/74731-Nl1k#comment108131 zankaa Comment on Going to have a session with Jamie Glazier by ClumpyMilk nice! Do you do any Coaching? Ive never had a Coach before, but just curious? ;) I would like to post for you my recreational graph of my stats from last month playing online. I only played about 6k hands. but similar stats you and I have. Let me know how I can get it to you, Sat, 12 Nov 2011 03:03:18 +0000 /blogs/zankaa/48361-Going-to-have-a-session-with-Jamie-Glazier#comment107501 /blogs/zankaa/48361-Going-to-have-a-session-with-Jamie-Glazier#comment107501 ClumpyMilk Comment on Nl1k by holtomigLAN At microstakes lot of players have pretty many exploitable tendencies like being too tight,too loose,calling down 3-bets too often,etc.If you are 1-tabling,it's easy to recognize those tendencies and play out your opponents,you can be focused and develop faster - from this point of view I agree. The problem is you NEED to multitable those stakes otherwise it takes forever to build up a roll. While multitabling however, the only way to recognize each player's biggest weaknesses is to have a HUD running.You can't beat 6 tables without a HUD I think. Or do you think it would be a better idea to apply a more aggressive BR management and move up in stakes a little bit one-tabling?Without a HUD?

I think that alot of players at micro/lowstakes dont even need stats. If you dont use stats it forces you to think alot more and to be absolutely focused. Also it doesnt make you into a robot wich i find that most players play like at those stakes. And they dont really know some super important concepts, or actually, they might know the concept but they are so comfortable with generalizing and backing it up with stats. Id say that stats only tell half the story and if you dont learn that at lowstakes, you need to learn them at higher stakes, and that can be very costly. Worst case scenario you might now even get to higher stakes.

I have a bunch of ecercises I do on a daily basis, to improve focus, happiness and a bunch of stuff like that. Imaging cutting down your time when you are playing tilted or unfocused with like, 90%. I have also studied the mind by reading a bunch of books and articles, imo understanding Why something happens is the key if you want to change/improve.

The book focuses exclusively on NL600,unfortunately I don't remember the author but type title at "filecrop.com" and you'll find it.Best book and analysis I have ever read.

And if I have been working on that 1-2 years before the majority I will have an edge there. Im no expert or anything but Ive seen games dry up a fair bit the last year but noone really knows i guess.

Had exactly the same 'wtf was U thinking' moment in the plane when the door opened lol, but it was amazing. Also, do you really think the money will dry up so much in poker in the immediate future? I'd have thought that despite poker training/more regs etc there will always be some fish lured by the latest Pokerstars ad, or the fact that someone from their country won the WSOP, and especially if the market in the US gets freed up won't that bring an influx of fish in due course? I'm really trying to be optimistic here ;) Sun, 11 Sep 2011 13:20:45 +0000 /blogs/zankaa/76941-Skydiving-and-some-poker#comment99281 /blogs/zankaa/76941-Skydiving-and-some-poker#comment99281 HouseofCards Comment on Skydiving and some poker by zankaa thanks man.
