Message: [QUOTE="titans4ever, post: 394943, member: 2843"] To steal from another thread but it can make a point. You can know all the rules and read all about golf but until you go out and play, do you reallyknow what it is really like? The first time you go out and play you miss everything and feel stupid because it was nothing like you thought. The next time you go out you are alittle more comfortable and so on until you get a feeling for the game. Poker is the same way. You can read all about it but until you really see AA in the pocket can truely know what it is like. You jump off your seat the first time, tremble the second, flinch the third etc. until you can stay stone faced (then you have to start over when it is live). You can only get better with practice. Things that can get better [B][I][U]only[/U][/I][/B] with practice and experience. 1) Preventing going on tilt with bad beats. 2) Realizing when you are on tilt and walk away immediately (not later). 3) Stack management in tournaments. 4) Finding fish at the table and taking advantage of them. 5) Realizing when YOU are the fish. 6) Sniffing out slowplays. 7) Having more and more bad beat stories since it is the only way you lose a hand (ala Phil). 8) Stealing blinds from the button. 9) Value betting the river. 10) Playing marginal hands and getting away with it. Plus letting them go when you know you are beat. I could keep going but I want to go to bed and 10 is a nice number to finish with. It is all the little things that develop into your style of play that takes years of experience to know. Development of your style and being able to use it to your advantage over other players. Using it to annoy calling stations, maniacs, tight/aggressive, loose/passive etc. [/QUOTE]
