Message: [QUOTE="maltz, post: 623665, member: 26654"] Your chronic underdog syndrome suggests that you play very tight (and therefore missed some lucky moments & got some blinds stolen). It is not a bad thing in lower-stake games where weak players call you without a brain and outdraws you based on their odds. Here are my little advises: (1) Play more aggressively when you get good cards. A good player controls pot size. For example, when you flop the nuts you should still bet, just to build up the pot so people are willing to invest more to draw dead. (2) Play very aggressively heads up. Blinds are big and you have to steal often. Fold hopeless cards pre-flop as the SB (about 20% of the time) but do raise as often as you can (even with 84o). Raising gives you information about your opponent's hand. The rest is just luck. [/QUOTE]
