Spoken like a true Christian. If we disagree, our opinions are unwanted.

Belief in God doesn't mean all your questions are answered. But blind faith gives you a crutch. It lets you believe that a higher power is taking care of your concerns. You don't need to know the answers because you have faith that a benevolent higher power knows all the answers.I'm not seeing how "blind faith is more brave."

Post flop play is an area I've identified in my game that needs improvement. Right now, I play it pretty straight forward. I bet if I have something and fold if I don't while mixing in occasional positional bluff.I think you're right, though. I need to not let my tournament come down to a coin toss if I still have plenty of time and chips. It's just *very* difficult for me to not shove in when I have AA and get re-raised (and lately that move has been the kiss of death).

I used to play a fair amount of limit as a hobby. Since I've been playing more seriously, I enjoy NL much better. 1 - 2 BB per hour seemed like a grind and you can't bet enough to protect a good hand. I started playing NL ring games, then moved to STT's where I enjoyed a fair amount of success. I was cashing 1/3 to 1/2 of the time. Also, in an STT going all in doesn't mean losing your BR. The worst case is busting out of the STT and losing your entry fee.I feel like my play is fairly solid. I've done a lot of reading and logged nearly 150 hours in the last 6 weeks.I'm just hitting a rea

OK guys, I need a little help here. This isn't a bad beat story (I know we're all tired of those). But I'm on such a monster downswing, I'm about ready to cash out and buy some golf clubs.I've been playing online regularly for about 6 weeks. Over that time, I've had up's and down's but trended upwards overall. One week ago, I had worked my way to 6 times my starting buy in. But for the last week, I suddenly can't do anything right. I've lost half my bankroll.I'm losing 4 out of 5 coin toss races. I can't remember the last time I made any money with AA or KK (either they get cracked or

No limit is a different game than limit. I had to make adjustments when I made the switch. Short of actual NL advice, my suggestion would be to play sit n go's to better get the feel of the game. That way you won't go broke while paying for your NL education. NL ring games are an expensive way to learn the game IMO.I highly recommend NL over limit, though. Most people that post here seem to play limit. But I think NL is much more interesting and more profitable than than 1 BB per hour.Anyhow, good luck!

If the short bankroll starts well and the bigger bankroll starts poorly, they'll be at the same place. Where you started from won't make any difference at that point.What people are suggesting is, what if the short ba

I always say "nice hand" to encourage them to keep making those kinds of decisions. I know it'll swing in my favor in the long run.
