RDog 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Sometimes it makes me sad when great players write articles that will make donks much better with a few words. Down with Rizen. Yes, I am selfish and yes, I like money. Kidding........sorta. Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 See, I already knew all this. What I need someone to teach me is how to keep from getting bored and making "image plays" like raising 10xBB with 72 when I haven't played a big pot in two hours. Or how to keep from raising every hand against these tight assholes that just keep folding.Actually, I think I figured it out myself. It's called don't play NLHE cash games very often. If I stick to other games most of the time, I can hammer the NL cash games occasionally, but if I start trying to put in 20,000+ hands a month, my game just goes to ****.

Most likely shows a profound confidence in his game. You are correct that the percentage of players reading that article is relatively low but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he gets 3 bet more often now. Link to post Share on other sites
Highlow16 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 He wrote the article because of popular demand. On his blog he offered money to the person with the best idea for a P5 article. His 5 favorite ideas were then voted on and my idea was edged out 11-10. Grrrr Link to post Share on other sites
thehidden 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 thanks PM this is a great article. I don't think you have to worry about the fishies actually reading it...for one it's a long indepth article and most won't have the patience or dicipline to remember anything from it if they actually take the info from it and translate it to their game.It did help me because I was one of those uber attack weakness types, and it did sort of clue me into the selectivness.Anywaystake careIra Link to post Share on other sites

Oneeydjaq 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Sometimes it makes me sad when great players write articles that will make donks much better with a few words. Down with Rizen. Yes, I am selfish and yes, I like money. Kidding........sorta.The majority of people who read that article will either have no idea what Rizen is talking about or have little idea how to implement it. The minority of folks who will understand what he is saying and apply it correctly most likely already do so. So, the article is actually a good article, as it will be misused by many and equal more people playing outside of their element which in turn will benefit the players who are already winning more.

Yes, I am selfish and yes, I like money. Kidding........sorta.I really doubt this article will do much to improve bad players games. I barely even skimmed it when I saw it. I'll most likely try to read it in depth now that everyone is raving about it. But, even as someone with a major interesting in learning about the game I had a hard time trying to read it. I seriously don't see any bad player even attempting to read the article. Link to post Share on other sites
