Message: [QUOTE="ted80, post: 1297561, member: 56913"] Grinder101 brings up a pretty good point that helped me a lot. you may never see that donkey ever again, but, it doesn't hurt to just make a quick note about how they play. if nothing else, that little point sticks in my head while we're still at the same table...and it helps the next time i have AK and know they're going to call me. helps me decide how to proceed in a hand against them, especially if i don't hit and i know they won't fold, maybe this is all of a sudden a pot i'd like to keep smaller...just simple notes, will "check-call you down with bottom pair" stuff like that. i usually like to add in little insults in my notes, stuff i'd like to say to them, haha. stuff like "limps with AA,AK,KK,AQ,QQ...never raises preflop"...all things you should probably note. but here's the deal with doing better against better players...this is the difference. better players have more of a feeling when to just go ahead and let go of their hands...you're not running into check-calls or just calls with them, its more like bet-raise-reraise. and most of the time when you're raising, you're seeing people folding preflop, whereas in some random freeroll, you're getting 5 callers for some reason...the odds on your AA winning just dropped quite a bit...and since they're all calling stations, you're out of luck, cause you're really hoping someone is going to raise you, that's your only hope of raising again, to get more people the hell out of the pot. it sucks when there's so many of them, but bad players just call...you have no read on them if you're out of position until you take notes. sometimes the best way to deal with them is just play with whatever crap you're dealt with on the button, and raise enough that even a calling station will think they're beat. but that's the difference, bad players call, good players fold/raise...and those callers will suck you out quite a bit. BUT, they are always there to call you down when you do hit, and you should definitely bet for value there, cause it makes up for the last suckout, and maybe the next suckout, haha [/QUOTE]
