Poker resolutions - 2009 - please add one!

#1 30th December 2008, 2:23 PM

Can everyone please post 1 thing that they vow to change about their poker in 2009. Perhaps we can learn from each others mistakes...

My resolution,

STOP OVERPLAYING AK - Looks great, especially when suited but god it gets me into trouble - Lay it down when I have to.

Please add something, anything no mater how stupid..... We can all learn. (well I can at least)

- Actually play a reasonable amount of poker.

#3 30th December 2008, 2:38 PM

Double up my winnings.

#4 30th December 2008, 2:44 PM

Play more. Tilt less. Run better.

#5 30th December 2008, 2:47 PM

Run better, run better, lay down more, run better, tilt less.

Lefty

Actually, I have these backwards. Because if I manage to run better I will automatically tilt less and play a lot more.

Try to do what Zach, ChuckTs, and BW did for me in the beginning of 08 by lending a helping hand for hand history reviews and sweats to guys that are grinding 10nl and 25nl at least once a week. Trying to give back as I recognize those three in particular went out of their way to help me.

#9 30th December 2008, 4:28 PM

Be more aggressive in the money in tournaments.

#10 30th December 2008, 4:32 PM

Improve my mental game. Stay off tilt.

#11 30th December 2008, 4:35 PM

Stop spewing after acquiring a juiceee stack and beat the donk bet with a ten tonne hammer. Get some sweat sessions going on via teamviewer an Skype, read more cash game books, play in more MTTs. Ok maybe not 1 resolution
Finally, get to 100nl by December 2009

#12 30th December 2008, 4:38 PM

Stop calling OOP.

Take the time to think before I act.

#15 30th December 2008, 4:57 PM

Earn $10k Profit from 50NL. Then re-assess

#16 30th December 2008, 5:12 PM

Stop bluff 3-betting the flop in 3-bet pots. Seriously, who knew shipping in 200bb's with air was a bad idea?

#17 30th December 2008, 5:22 PM

^^^ oh ive been there, i would also like to stop doing that

#18 30th December 2008, 5:31 PM

Actually play some

This is bad? I want to stop this too then!

#20 30th December 2008, 5:49 PM

Actually understand and start applying pot odds to my play on a regular basis.

#21 30th December 2008, 6:08 PM

I want to learn pot odds like it was second nature, and quit overbetting those middle pocket pairs and let it come to me. That may be the same thing huh? oh well I guess just keep learning.

#22 30th December 2008, 6:10 PM

be patient, fold more hands, and pay attention to other players when I am not in a hand, and most important... win more!

#23 30th December 2008, 6:12 PM

Thou shall not play poker unless:

I have a positive mindset before sitting down.

#24 30th December 2008, 7:54 PM

Playing less agressive sometimes (before getting on tilt !) and stopping to play only to be in paid places, but trying to reach the top places to earn more (even if I had to win less often).
That would give me a strongest experienced for heads-up tourneys

Another wish : Play with experienced players, learn them, and being able to make them get out ... Simple : No ! Interesting : Of course

Cheers
Stef

Stop getting drunk, taking a bad beat and proceed to play a 42/40 with 18 3bet and convince myself none of these donks have a HUD or pay attention.

#26 30th December 2008, 10:26 PM

Have my biggest tournament cash ever

#27 30th December 2008, 10:28 PM

My biggest problem is not getting past the bubble. I seem to get busted within 10 spots of the cash in MTT's and freerolls way too often.

I will play better poker as I get closer to the bubble and give myself a shot a winning the occasional tournament.

#28 30th December 2008, 10:32 PM

1-- stop chasing flushes 2--play better position 3--- patience, patience, patience

#29 30th December 2008, 10:38 PM

I am going to try to play a little less tight...see if my instincts pay me off better than they do already.....Happy New Years everyone and GL

#30 30th December 2008, 11:02 PM

Don't go all-in with top pair or call any all-ins unless you know the person is a donkey.

#31 30th December 2008, 11:17 PM

I play mostly at real casinos. So my resolution for this year.......

When I build up a stack,,,,,, STAND THE #$@% UP.

#32 30th December 2008, 11:27 PM

up to nl50, try to win a large mtt

#33 31st December 2008, 12:47 AM

my goal is to play better and to stop playing the shit cards

#34 31st December 2008, 12:51 AM

Read what's inside those poker books, instead of just looking at the covers.

#35 18th April 2009, 9:08 PM

Slow play less.
