Message: [QUOTE="light65536, post: 827399, member: 23958"] I'm really down when my bankroll goes down considering today hit the highest high and the lowest low! I know I have a lot to learn but I have did pretty good breaking even in heads up and have at least a several K of hands I've won over a period of time. For all those who want to go pro: play 20k hands first and see if you can win. If you can't win or don't like then why bother. I feel most of you people will end up broke or whatever. It's like someone saying I want to be XYZ without doing XYZ. I will discuss my strategy WHICH works great when it does. My strategy is built around the idea of pressure. I play with big stacks and my whole game plan is about applying maximum pressure on my opponents so they make a mistake. That means I'm raising all the time and when the flop hits: I'm placing in small raises. I play 6 player ring game so I can focus on the players -- and mostly turbo. I will raise from the button about the same amount every time. I don't raise a lot because I will fold if I get resistance unless I have a monster hand -- in which case I will usually bust my opponent. So, I'm raising all the time. From early position I'm only playing very premium hands unless the play is especially soft. Anyway thats my strategy is to apply pressure to make my opponents make a mistake and it WORKS. It works most of the time. I'm also going to be chasing flushes and draws. Why? Because I can bust someone. I'll call a raise and KNOW I'm beat. It's the easiest way to fold but if I hit my flush then I'll bust someone who is very interested in a premium hand. Who beats me? Players who dont pay off -- for one thing. If a payer never pays off my big bets without the nuts then that really put me on tilt today. I went all in like a dozen times on this player and he never called me. It felt like he was cheating. He kept saying nice hand like he knew I was playing good hands and not like the maniac I appeared(??) Why do I keep going all in? To keep applying pressure. It's not just about the money but its about the image. Eventually I changed up my bets and got payed. Also very short stacks have never beat me really. I usually bust them. But, a short stack can also make it harder for me to draw too. A lot of people piss-echo tight aggressive. I have played tight aggressive and everyone folds to me or someone calls and hits a straight or something huge. I don't play tight aggressive. I play tight aggressive from early position and I play looser from later positions. Playing loose has given me great opportunities to bust people. Now I am running bad and losing. I lost a lot today. What happened? I'm a maniac. I love to bully people with my big stack but it has to be controled. I hit a new equity high today and lost good judgement and I payed the price. I still think my new style is the right style for me. [/QUOTE]
