Poker Video: Misc/Other by threads13 (Micro/Small Stakes)

Liked it a lot, you're a great storyteller.

Not surprised that you didn't win much at 1-2 live, especially 50bb. I think someone calculated that a decent winning player would be making something like 8 bucks an hour at 1-2 live considering the high rake, low hands per hour and actual mathematical edges.

Thank you.

That sounds pretty fair. It also wasn't that juicy by live game standards.

One of my favorite episodes of the series so far. And not just because I get coaching from threads

Just think...with better time management, you could've fit beer pong into your poker and regular drinking schedule.

Who says I didn't?

A+

I am at a point where I do end up making a bad call, because I forgot something to considerate. Or I make a bad decision preflop only to realise it once I made the play. That tilts me a bit. So how do you force yourself to get better while being flexibel making mistakes?

It seems like a difficult balance to find. Being to flexibel about making mistakes will give you bad habbits, and not being flexibel at all will get you less motivated to play because you don't want to make mistakes.

Try to be cognizant of the fact that you are in an area where you aren't entirely sure what the best play is so are you going to lose some money while you experiment. Remain focused on the fact that you are essentially experimenting. It's really important to be willing to experiment so that your game can grow. Just look at it as experiments that you will gain knowledge from. If you do that, I don't see how you could create a habit. The only mistake you can make is a failure to learn from your mistakes.

That's an interesting way of looking at it, and to be honoust, I don't look at it like that. I tend to want to learn from people with more expierence so I have to listen to you.

Is there a treshold of experimenting? It could become just an excuse to be some spazzy player ch/raising every turn for a while to experiment when its good to check raise the turn?

It certainly could, but you should hold yourself accountable and know when you are trying out things and unsure, and when you are just making excuses to do something bad.

true, thanks

Great video. I completely agree with needing to play more I think its something a lot of players struggle with. Same situation happened with me where id know what the right plays were but not always make them. Once I really started looking at every situation as + or -ev and always making what I thought was the right play at the spot I really started making money playing poker.

I nominated you also, I also got the free month at DC...I don't know who nominated me though.

Thanks for the sound advice, Jacob. I enjoyed hearing your story. I think the biggest thing I can take away from your experience is that I need to play more as well. I think the reason I may not as much as I should, is I sometimes fear that I will mindlessly grind away without analyzing my play. I'll just have to stay frosty, even when putting in larger amounts of volume.
