Hey Cardplayers. I'm a Donkey that's trying to change his evil, evil ways.
I'm on my lunch break, so i've got to be a bit brief.
I've been playing poker for about 5 years now, 2 of which were just home games. I typically do pretty well at Cash games, but need to improve my tournament games. My bankroll on cash is pretty steady. I could use improvement, but that's not what I want to focus on right now.
Personally, I feel that my main 2 problems are being very inconsistent and not observing other players enough. I notice the typical things, such as how often they are involved in a hand and how often they'll fold if squeezed, but I have to constantly remind myself to analyze their play after seeing their cards on a showdown and their betting patterns. As far as inconsistent play, I think I need to work on having a set play style. I know I shouldn't be rigid and have every play written down for every situation, but I often do very dumb things...like pushing with AK when I have 20bb and someone re-raises my 3xbb bet pre-flop.
It seems that every time I decide to start getting a little more serious about my play and reading some advice and strategy, I do very well, but then start slipping.
I used to play on pokerstars, but switched to full tilt a few years ago because, at the time, I enjoyed the super turbos. I don't play those any more, and generally stick t0 the 3.50 90-person KO SnGs now.
My fulltilt name is Decade9, so you can take a look at my sharkscope and see the negative ROI.
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to rail a few of my tourneys and analyze my play a abit. I feel like I have the potential to be a profitable player in tourneys, but I think it's time I asked for some outside help.
I know EVERYONE thinks they have the potential to be a profitable player, or else they wouldn't be playing poker. I play live cash and tournament games at a Sports & Poker bar here in town and do well enough...when I'm actually playing to win. I've forced myself to stop going down there when I'm just bored, and now only play when i'm playing to win.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
