How to turn your game around or just keep it safe or on the good side is the secret we would all like to know. I think that there are a lot of negative aspects about my play. I don't know if anyone out there feels the same but if there are any of you then I suggest that maybe we look at the negatives and turn them into positives instead of dwelling on the bad things and hoping they will turn around and walk away. What I mean by that is this for example. I have a bad habit in poker and that's not raising enough when I get a big hand i:e AA. Now I may just call a small blind sometimes and you can almost guarantee that everyone on the board will do the same(call) even if they have small connectors i:e 4/5 unsuited. Now, to my reckoning. Thats left me in a position where I may have to fend off 7/8 maybe even 9 or 10 players and once that flop hits the board I can almost guarantee that someone will hit a possible run or possible flush. This leaves me with my big Aces in a compromising position. Now , if I had raised it to the appropriate amount (depending on which stage of play you are at) I would then have at least shrugged off the runners and flushers with small hands. That leaves me to deal with the bigger hands on the board and I can almost be certain that I am the top hand given the state of the flop (whatever that may be) or in a bad state depending on what the flop tells me. At least I don't have to put up with a 4/5 off suit kicking my ass out of the game and if I do go out,I went out to a good hand. My negative state of mind lets me down on these occasions. Don't get caught in the same rut. Play your big hands with confidence and at least give yourself a chance at winning every hand you play. Find your negative play and turn it around into a positive play. You may not win every time but at least your game will be on a par with everyone else's and you will feel better about your poker. Let me know what your negatives are and lets see if we can turn them around. Don't be shy.I want to help you and I would like you to help me. Post here about your play. www.planetbet.co.uk
