Message: [QUOTE="PokerPete, post: 1674533, member: 15622"] I play because I love the game and I love anything competitive. I've read the BRM articles here, read a lot, read some more...and then still even more. Your situation sounds very similar to mine... I earned some money via the CC freerolls here, started playing micro SnG's, got up a little then down a lot...I actually deposited AGAIN *sigh*...but then it happened... Here is what I've found: 1) Play your game, the same way every time. Ok, so you got clobbered by a K9 soooted in ep last game and a Q3os in the one before that. Does that mean you should now be calling with those hands? 2) Play hands you can raise with. Raise with them. Continue to raise with them. Keep folding because you aren't hitting the flop and your opponent is betting like he did? Good. Keep it up..he really isn't bluffing. Really. Thinking about just limping instead? Don't. Just keep playing your hand, your way. 3) Play fewer hands. No, seriously, play fewer hands. How many SB's do you limp in a game? 4) Find game/format you enjoy. I started with STT satellites, un-reg-ing when I won, buying back in with tourney dollars. I found that I personally like MTT format (maybe all the years of playing CC freerolls :p ) so I found I really enjoy 45 person SnG's...but that's just me, and where I found I can succeed... to each his own. 5) IF you start losing, figure out what you changed and STOP DOING THAT! ...I realized I was limping when I previously was raising. Checking where I was betting. and *gulp* calling where I was folding...I became my own worse nightmare...a calling station :eek: ...it took around 25 or more straight losses to figure that out (a good $55 plummet) :eek: I've now played over 575 micro SnG's since Jan 1st. I'm now winning more than the rake *yeah*...(and won back around $45 of that plummet) first time ever. I'm STILL getting "donked called out" of some of the tourneys... I still occasionally yell and make the wife and the dog jump over some idiot and his idiotic call he just made....but I actually enjoy making fun of the twit now... and I put a little note on him so I don't make the same mistake of thinking that moron would EVER fold his "any two cards" [/QUOTE]
