excellent. I have to say its been a revelation to me, I have had several 'aha' moments and I want to share some of those thoughts. After reading it
I realised:
- I was winning overall, but not as much as I should be - I was losing too much on so-called 'solid' hands like TPTK, or overpairs
- I was making pots too big with my betting with just TPTK or overpair - generally not adhering to a 'small hand small pot' philosophy
- I was playing the standard game too transparently and predictably
- I wasn't playing enough speculative hands like small connectors, suited and unsuited
