Making The Shift Back


Recommended Posts

ok, so, i started out playing poker live (obv @ home games & such until i decided to hit the casino for the first time, then was only playing casino) and after the whole mortgage crash, i found myself in a bit of a financial jam, add a little bit of a downswing (compounded by the fact that i was still a donk i have recently realized) and i decided playing @ the casino wasn't a good idea until i got myself back on my feet or at least more financially stableso i deposited a small amount on FTP about 10 months ago & proceeded to grind the low stakes cash games & mtts & sngs while looking for work & paying all the bills etc etc etc etc... anyways, long story short, i pretty much got addicted to playing online, something about 4 tabling @ 80-120 hands / hour / table & being able to instantly change games & tables & tourney / sng simultaneously w/ horse & HA & plo & the whole nine is so appealing to me...i'll cut to the chase: i've only played live maybe like 30x in 2008 (seriously) and every time i go, it just feels like somehow i've forgotten how to play loive poker or something... i'll sti & be card dead & fold for like 45 min only to realize i've seen 12 hands... vs if i'd been playing online chances are i'd already have made it through about 200 hands... and i've realized how terrible my live results have been lately... i feel as if my knowledge & practice & overall general approach to the game has GREATLY improved over the last year or so, but it seems i'm having quite a bit of trouble switching back over to the live games; which are, @ least IMO, much juicier..anyone else experience the difficulty in live vs online & anyone have any tips plz?thanks

Its because you're a bad player?you only play top tier premium hands in position and work the sklansky strat (smash strat) to its fullest advantage vs online donks. you attempt it live but you cant wait around long enough to see premium hands in position.my advice is to stick with online poker.

You can do things at a live table other than just look at your cards. Talking to people at your table is a good start. If you're not skilled at the social arts there's usually something to read.

The truth is in this post by RT even if the delivery is a little harsh. Patience in the live game is much harder to master. Very often online players get too loose due to impatience sitting in a live game.Read a book about tells before you go play live next time. Then spend time trying to read the other players. You will at least have something to do between hands (only if playing NL, if playing limit forget about trying to read players). Also remember your sample size in one session live os too small to be significant.PS- Pary bottoms get to have all the fun imo.

From Urban Dictionary1. Party Bottom 1. Male enhancing his enjoyment of anal sex with the use of party supplies such as Ice Cold Coke. Party bottom does not usually refer to alcohol since alcohol isn't necessarily used to party (ie wine enjoyed with dinner, priest celebrating a mass)The term bottom does not usually refer to females, as the term is mostly found in the male community. After he did a rail, he sat on two dildos and showed how big a party bottom he really is.1. sloppy party bottom A gay man that maintains a diet, so that his anus and bowels will stay clean, so at a gay party he is passed around to numerous men and butt****ed until he has a sloppy fanny. Those six fairies are rock hard waiting for their sloppy party bottom to arrive.
