Message: [QUOTE="Divebitch, post: 1018311, member: 39020"] Where do I begin? Okay, Hold'Em is possibly my weakest game. Past few days, I've been looking at Omaha books online, and figured to get that free shipping, let me pick out a Hold'Em (Harrington Tourney or perhaps Mitchell Cogert 101 Winning Moves or Slotbooms's Winning Stratgies of Pro Players), since I play a lot, not by choice, and with very limited success. Upon reading a few excepts as well as the many reviews, I am skeptical that I can even play this way. I know I hate the (winning I guess) table-mates who play this aggressively with garbage, and I don't wanna be that person. I feel bad for fooling people to fold. This is 1 essential element to the very nature of the game. Do I need to toughen up, and take it less personal? Should I resign myself to the fact that my basic personality is not suited to it? No brag intended, but I am good at games of mathematical/logical strategy. Omaha HL, all stud games (includes razz), where you can only semi-bluff. And I don;t feel bad for making someone with a (POSSIBLY) inferior hand fold (so what's the damn difference right?). But in hold'em, from everything from the 'terrorizing the blinds' to the 'c-bet' (when you miss) to even the 'value bet', etc, I have a hard time. Bottom line, should I face facts, maybe I like poker, but I'll never enjoy Hold'em (or maybe I can learn to???), so don;t waste time trying to improve? Focus my efforts on Omaha? I dunno, I love HORSE, but get bored with a razz or stud tourney all by itself. Perhaps learning more naunces of each (as JD has taught me about razz) would help my success as well as enjoyment. Sorry for the long-windedness. Any thoughts appreciated. [/QUOTE]
