HighwayStar 8 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19/high-...visisted-88525/you can pretty much skip anything that isn't written by jman - he quotes the questions he answering, etc. Nah, that article is good but the well is just a huge conglomerate of awesome information from jman and other players.ahhh, sweet. I've not read that before, have to give it a look later. Link to post Share on other sites
mhoward29 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19/high-...visisted-88525/wow, Phil said this about himself on the first couple pages, this is exactly me to a T. I always am focused on hands that beat me, not hands I beat and I shut down which has cost me imo."I'm afraid to make a mistake and I always fear the worst might happen. This translates to me misplaying hands, erring too far on the side of minimizing losses and not enough on the side of maximizing gains.If I reraise AQ and get called, cbet A98r flop, and the turn is a J, my first thought is '****, what if he has AJ or QT?!' A lot of times it causes me to play the hand much more passively than I should. My default move when I get scared like this is to call a lot, hence my reputation. I have to be focused to catch myself and use my logic to overpower my tendency to shut down and play from behind." Link to post Share on other sites

Snamuh 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 What kind of changes?Less autopilotting. I'm opening more hands and focusing a lot closer on ranges and reads. I think I'm also trusting reads a bit more than I used to be. I'm also bluffing a LOT more than I used to and I'm pot controlling a LOT less than I used to. I'm seen as pretty nitty so I get away with it. I pot controlled way more than I should have and bluffed a lot less than I should have. Link to post Share on other sites

chgocubs99 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Those who have staked/backed people long term...what precautions do you take (besides obvious selectivity ones) to ensure you are not going to get screwed?
