Message: [QUOTE="John A, post: 2324741, member: 88730"] I wish you much success. I've seen a ton of improvement in your thought process since you've been joining this discussion. Aggression is pointless unless you know how to use it against your opponents to force them into poor decisions, and you know how to pick your spots. So focusing on how to do that effectively, and what that actually looks like is key. My goal is to provide as many effective ideas and styles as I've learned while playing the last 9 years. I'm in a fairly interesting spot since I've played high stakes against top pros for many years, and I have no desire to do that presently. And not because I don't think I can win, every poker player believes they'll beat their opponent ;). I just have no desire to play live at high stakes, because I have a new family, and I've been down that road before. And I have no desire to play online and risk losing my poker bankroll again. So I have the odd added benefit of playing 100/200nl and can pass on how to beat those games and lower from a slightly higher strategy thinking perspective (meaning players at 600nl+ and thinking on multiple levels and you can't make many mistakes). My outlet has now become teaching, which is awesome because I get a new challenge on how to pass on what's in my head. :) So we have points #1 and #2 and becoming a better player. I hope I can get a show of hands of people who will do #2. I will go back through here, or maybe someone else can re-post the cold calling links. I'd HIGHLY advise you get off your butt and do this if you haven't already. You want to know what range of hands you're having the most difficulty with, and I'll hold your hand to show you how to do this if I have to, but it's important to do. I have some of the Poker Tracker Filters here. I put the HM2 ones in this thread, but we also want to do a modification to both of them as well. [URL]http://pokerleakbuster.com/PokerTracker_Filters.html[/URL] So if you're reading this, do the OOP cold calling filters. I guarantee that if you isolate what part of this issue you're having the most difficulty with, ie, is it cold calling from the BB? Is it cold calling all of these trouble hands? Is it cold calling with the bottom of my range only? See this for yourself, correct it, and it will be and added 1-2bb/100 to your winrate (which is huge). [/QUOTE]
