Thanks.I think I will continue to play tourneys and work to improve.I think developing an overall strategy for the entire tourney, and a mental script for individual hands will help. Not having a routine seems to leave me open to acting without good reason, andthis is probably worse after long periods of concentration. thinking this anyway

I suffer from what can only be described as a mental defect. I literally explode mid-tourneys after playing an otherwise decent game. Idon't think I'm the only one, so I am seeking advice from otherswho have overcome this same defect.You know the routine. You play well, or as well as you can play. Then,for no reason you can explain, you decide to go insane in a hand youhave no business going out in, and blow off half or better of your stack.That is a mental defect, a serious flaw -- same thing we see in chesswhen after an otherwise great game the player looses the thread of the gameand is soon

Ah, you should want good players to win--Cheating probably does happen, but isn't it more likely that some of your table mates are the cheaters and not the site?Still, I think a good player should usually crush the machine--it isn't like chess, and your opponent isn't Fritz!If you don't know odds, you can bet your opponent does or is using a simple application--I would worry about my opponents more then the site. Oh, and why doesn't anyone get online with something like "I know this site is rigged, I was dealt AA three out of the last five hands, and I won every one of them!"--hehe

Stop getting on your nerves?Poker forums naturally attract winning players?Come on, you think I'm annoying because I question "winning" players--oh well.I'm just trying to keep things objective.

The obvious question is, where the hell are all these loosing players? Everbody is either a winner, or they don't post--or well, theres that other option we wont talk about.

Full Tilt says there were several transfers to your account from this guy. It wasn't as though he payed back a simple loan--FullTilt isn't out to get you--it looked suspicious, and why not, the story is goofy at best.

Honestly, I'm just happy to see poker sites cracking down on the cheats. If you weren't involved sorry. Oh, and why did you loan him money and then recieve money from him? I'm guessing it was loaned, he was paying you back--come on man.

What Does It Take To Be A Successful Player?

They are supposed to disagree with me, it wouldn't be any fun if they didn't. This is what I'm talking about, "you virtually can't go broke.", I mean, who told you that?This is poker, you can and you will go broke. Go ahead, start the flame fest swearing you'll never go broke, been a winner from day one yadda-yadda, and this last comment isn't directly solely at you mikey and it is half tounge and cheek. -
You're supposed to go broke.Keep having fun, if it stops being fun, stop playing. The number of people who actually make money at this game is so small, you may never meet one--oh, you'll meet thousands who claim to be winning players...In my opinion, if you go broke, and you have some play money--AND YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN--then re-up and play on; otherwise, why keep killing yourself?

This isn’t advice so much as things to think about –In my experience at .10/.20 –My first rule of thumb after some time in these levels is – don’t play at tables of nine. I stick to six players or less, four and five is nice.My second rule is – find out who’s either on tilt or just crazy, and who is aggressive, who is passive and who is conservative – I have found that even at this level there is a mix. After I know something about the players (not much, but anything is better then nothing!) then I have some idea of what type of hands they will play, and how they act when they have a hand or

I don't know, I've never just scooped the blinds with a call. Ok, then there is some truth to what I said. The reason you raise is to represent strength, and the reason you represent strength is to drive out what might currently be weaker hands that could develop strength during play. Do I hope someone calls? Yes, but the brunt of my raise is to drive off weaker hands.Oh, and I did say (the majority of the time) in other words, in my opinion, at my levels, raising most big hands 3x BB isn't a great play. That being said, I do raise many hands pre-flop, just not as often as I might if I were
