I have been playing a bit more lately. (Had some family/personal issues and they kept me from poker since around a month now) but am back to playing again.
My major focus is hand reading. I get involved in a hand, and when it gets to SD, I am surprised way too often. I pay attention, I (try to) analyze the streets, I narrow opponents ranges as we go, and am not doing all that good......
I read, I study, I do exercises, but my hand reading skills are still mediocre at best. (Micro stakes).
So I have now made this my no. 1 priority. I MUST be able to hand read better.
I have played maybe 100K since Feb. and am pretty discouraged at my result. Losing a lot of pots, and it must come down to my hand reading skills (lack of)
I feel I am understanding more and more, but I am spinning my wheels in the same ruts..... And I think it must come down to reading players.... or not, as may be my case....
I also have a HARD time trusting my analysis...... I think "I am beat" and call cause I dont want to be bluffed, or I say " I am ahead" and bet small in case I am being trapped..... I lose value or value call myself... way too much....
So, my point::: HAND READING
I think if I get better at this, the next level is in reach......... and even tho I think I know, I seem to ... uhh.... not....
I am doing different exercises to get better, but welcome any and all new ideas....
