Good or Not Good?, Christian, 6. Dec 2002 09:29
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
I have been playing poker for about a year now. I usually play in low-limit "Thursday Night" style poker games $1/$2. No one ever wins or loses more than twenty bucks in one night. I've read several books on poker from general stratagy to Mike's Book of Tells, and I also have the videos on tells as well. I think that I am a pretty decent player, as I almost always win or break even, but I feel that I'm not close to being as good as I could be. I am the only one who has studied poker yet I am not much better than the others who haven't read or watched anything. Is there anything I can do to really get good, so that I am the best player in my group?

The thing to remember is that even someone playing AA ,KK,AKs in these games will likely get busted by someone playing 63o etc..
In short many in these games players play rags..therefore every flop presents a threat no matter how ragged..
I think you need to get away from this and play in a casino where you get tested..
Of course you`ll need to get into a game beyond 3-6 ,4-8 to find any real thinking players...
