Message: [QUOTE="Arjonius, post: 1886764, member: 5332"] If playing 31 of 203 hands is typical of your style, you will have trouble with cash games once you get above the lowest levels where you can sit back and wait to make money from other players' mistakes and poor plays. And even at those levels, your win rate won't be optimal. If you know you're too often changing your game from what it should be in situations where you become scared money, the most straightforward thing to try might be simply to play at a level where you either won't feel scared or won't back off because you do. This will help you to desensitize yourself so you won't feel as much anxiety when you move up and face those situations with more money involved. As for books, my take on them is that in some cases, their real value isn't in providing "recipes" to follow, but in helping you learn to think in more / different ways than you did before, whether you come to the same decisions or not.
