Thanks for your help :)I guess I am doing pretty well.There's little chance that there are that many good players playing the stakes you're talking about, let alone eight of them regularly at one table. You just don't know what mistakes they are making. Of course, it always preferable to play at a table with a lot of loose action, but the tables you're playing are likely very beatable.As far as there not being much money in the pot when you steal the blinds, well, it adds up.The 2 big bets per hour (or 100 hands) is sort of a standard. Very good players in very weak games can win somewhat more than that, to the tune of 4 or 5 big bets per, but that's rarely sustainable in full ring. If you can beat the game for 2 bets per over 10k hands or more, you are generally accepted to be beating that game solidly. -
Well, by tight players, I dont mean rocks or elefants (its quite easy to play against them), but tight, agressive, solid players. With 8 TAGs on the table there are almost always 3 players on the flop or a heads up against fish. I managed to steal some blinds with marginal cards from tags but it doesnt makes any sense against calling stations. So, besides the blinds there is not much money in the pot , so I wonder if it makes sense to play at these tables or just stand up and seek another, looser table? Should I stick to the two big bets per hour? (Do you speak from your own experience or is it a general rule?) I tried to multitable, but since I am kind of new into realmoney, I found it rather hard to concentrate and made some terrific mistakes with my AK on both tables.
So right now I stick to one table and make decent wins.By checking for draws I dont mean straight or flush draws, since I already get good pot odds there, but more unlikely ones like gutshots, pairs to sets and runners. Which dont make sense to pay for since they dont offer enough pot odds (even with implied odds). So why dont take a free card if they give it to you? Is it false? -
Hello, I wonder which tables you pick? I like to sitdown with around 50% fishes in 0.15-0.30 LH full ring in order to build up my bankroll. There are some bad beats but I am OK with it as long I take their money in another 95%
However, such tables also attract more good players and they usually play very tight VPIP 15-20% and agressive. Its quite a challange. Moreover, there is not much to earn if there are 2 fishes and 8 good players. Do you have some ideas?I am also a tag player, however I like to check/call for draws on these tables since fishes and calling stations call anyway and are willing to give you a free card. Continuatons bets and reraises are good against tags but I found it rather useless against newbies.Thanks in advance. -
thank you for your answers, dealing cards is a good idea. I also found out poker academy has a tool to show draws, so I can compare my outs with the draws shown and figure out if they dont add up.

I wonder if you have read my postAssuming an overcard would be a win you just use the same basic math: 6 overcards + 9 flsuh cards = 15 outs15 * 4 = 60% -
Well, I will feel more comfortable if someone/thing would test me. f.e. my hole cards are Ac Kc and the flop is 4c 6c Js and I am like: "oh thats easy, flush draw" 19% chance, about 4:1, but a few seconds later I realise there are also 6 overcards: aces and kings (despite the runner runner straight which is very unlikely) which a more experienced player also sees. So I want to reduce this time by training. I like your advice though.The only way to get better at board reading is just to practice. You have to train yourself to quickly identify what draws exist on the flop and what cards are needed to complete those draws, so you know what to look out for on the turn and river. My advice: take a deck of cards and just practice dealing out hands and reading the board. -
thanks for the reply. actually I already understand the concept of outs and odds, I know the percentages and quotients to hit a gut shot, a flush etc. However I feel like I need practice, I want to reduce the time to make it "click" in my head to miliseconds

Hello, I am looking for some kind of trainer program in order to improve my board reading and calculating speed. I am kind of new into poker, however I understand the concept of pot odds, so I am not looking for a odds calculator but a program which will generate random hands and ask me for possible outs and draws. Outs and Pot Odds puzzles are also welcome.Sometimes I fail to see straight draws
( I know, if the board is unpaired and contains no card higher than jack there is always a possible draw, but nethertheless), gut shots or open ended straights so I can determine the opponents strength properly. So is there some way to improve this part of my game, besides just playing? Playing on play money tables is fine, however most of the players are loose-passive and just want some gambling action, I dont want to slow down the game, furthermore I have no prove to my calculations (f.e. often mistake is to calulate the cards twice on draws). Poker Academy is a great tool, but it does not show the outs.Well, I hope you could understand my problem and I am looking forward for some hints. Thanks in advance. -
whats an interesting point, how long do you play? do you play a fixed amount of hours or until you win/lose a certain percent of your buy-in/bankroll?Just play lots of hands, day in and day out. You'll see the swings and get accustomed to them, and the beats will happen so often that they'll be no big deal to you.I used to have tilt issues. Now I set a hand goal for a session and get out, whether I'm up or down. I may decide to play another session a bit later if I'm in the mood, but I think having a goal that doesn't relate to my results each session helps me avoid tilting.Occasionally, I still start cursing at the screen and wanting to throw my mouse. When you feel the steam even start to rise, just sit out when the blinds come around and go do something else. The game will be there later when you're head is clear.Ny the way, you can tilt from overconfidence as well, and it's usually worse in my experience. Even keel, or find something else to do.

Another quick question, if you multitable, how does it affect your income? I dont think if you play at 4 tables you could earn 4 times so much. What would be a good number?
