Message: [QUOTE="Poker_play, post: 1892752, member: 82452"] Hey all, I could use advice from some of the better poker players on here. I'm a $2/5 live player, ...play one or two good sessions a week..and am up $52K on the year so far. I've been progressing year to year..went from too tight..to too loose...back to reading a newspaper for hours and waiting for premium hands. Not anymore. Now I regularly call 3-5 BBs with a wide range of hands..and feel like I have the post-flop savvy to make that profitable. I almost always make the right decision in the big situation. I occasionally cost myself a buyin or 2 from all these loose calls..but then catch fire and find myself 10 buyins up in a hurry. I'm much more about reads, playing the board, playing the player than just the two cards in my hands. Once I finally catch a legit hand..I get paid pretty easily. Like mentioned I have been steadily progressing year to year..and have a very strong understanding of all the maths involved in poker..so don't feel like I'm just "on a heater" this year. That said, I'm all types of awful online. Somewhere around -$8K on the year...with everything from SNGs to MTTs to cash games. While I hit some big MTTs ($3-4K), I proceed to quickly blow them on ridiculous $500 SNGS that I have no business playing. I see it as ##'s, not $$..and just can't shake it. i can't wait 4-6 weeks for a cashout..so I'd rather try to win a million overnight I guess? I'm calling all-ins in terrible situations with AQ or AJ...cause they're suited, or cause I see QQ5 on the board on the other table that I'm playing. Or cause I'm paying no attention to how anyone else plays online lol. I make great bluffs on the river..and get called by f"ing midpair that would never dare show that in a live game. He's not brilliant, he's just a f'n donk that I can't get off a hand LOL. For some reason I know when and how to attack to those players in live game..but online I just go head first into their brick wall. I try tightening up and playing 3-4 tables at the same time....err. When one goes wrong, I'm promptly out of all 4 tables LOL. I guess I just don't have the discipline/BRM for online poker? Is there any hope for me? Should I just drop online poker, or is there a quick fix? Is it necessary to play TAG and wait for hands to succeed online? Any constructive criticism is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
