Message: [QUOTE="cotta777, post: 2117126, member: 93414"] When i first started out playing I was just a kid who liked to gamble early 20's Enjoyed roulette in the casino and to me poker was just $30.00 / $40.00 spent on comparison to maybe $200 , $300 on roulette so from my perspective my attitude was if I lose I lose ive gambled for 4 hours and spent a hell of alot less than on poker than i could in 30 minutes roulette. So as you do pretty much clueless on the game I thought its all about bluffing so i completely based my game on just bluffing, looking for players to bluff spots to bluff... my cards were irrelevent, I often acted on instinct and 80% of the time I would be right even if I had a poor hand I could call an all in pre flop if i felt it and win more than I lost with a dominate holding.... after a few months I came up with abasic theory if i haven't been re-raised by the turn or sometimes the river in a big pot the players are weak and very likely to fold to a huge bet or an all in.... This is pretty much true in soft games, as you go up levels obviously a good player will start calling you down to get you to push on the river/ But yea..... this is what I did every tournament I would push people off hands with stupidly oversized bets, and If I picked up what I thought was a good hand (back then) , (any Ace any pair above 4 any broad way, I'd just hammer them pref flop or on the flop and hope for the best... I made 1k in my first month in casino and 1k in my first month online, then I played $2-4 with very little experience actually did ok got to 2k and lost it all in one game at $5-10 It might of even been $10-20 Briefly. my confidence was shot as i was playing on scared money. I was in such a rush to get it back I started playing with very little money available trying to grind out $5.00 sit in gos with no more than 15.00 buy ins, Now 4-5 years later I've studied read and groomed my game, into an optimal tight aggressive, player and only recently stopped playing turbos and managed my bankroll realisiticly to start making a profit on average 8 in 10 cashed 1 table sit n go's... but I look back and I Honestly think If I could get back to that wreckless approach but with skill and deception on my side there may be potential one day to become a very, VERY skilled player, in 2,3,4,5 years or more [/QUOTE]
