I have learnt Poker from scratch, been playing at partypoker every day and night for about a month, mostly freerolls and sng`s
I have read all the common advice and followed the advice of many by playing very tight and aggressive.
I have had a modicum of success, 32nd and 36th in big freerolls and a dozen wins & lot of placings in sng;s, but I`m still making a small loss. My questions are;
What do I do now? Ill never make money or win tournies just being mainly tight\agg, I do vary when required of course,
but I am stumped at what strategy I could go for now to improve my game, someone told me to try "slow-ball" whatever that is, anyone here explain please?
Also, I have learnt to turn off the chat option as sometimes I get a lot of stick, mainly when beating someone in what I usually feel is a good play, e.g had the Nuts so moved all in and they called etc. had some girl calling me all sorts just now when I beat her in a sng, i asked what the prob was and she said "your play is so shit, its annoying" so i said ill let u win if its that important to u, and promptly knocked her out
Thing is, in real life I`d have to get used to the odd insult so maybe I should leave chat on and ignore them?
But hey! I`m a sensitive guy ;-)
Also can anyone explain exactly (in beginners language please) what is meant by "stealing someones blind"
I have an idea but could someone tell me?
last question, I am diagnosed ADD (Attention Defecit Disorder) where the main problem is staying focused and concentrating doh! So im playing with a handicap, when I take the medication I usually go on tilt ;-) It`s not always a handicap though because sometimes I go into hyperfocus mode, where you get 1000% concentration to a standard that is scary, I usually win when that happens though, just wish I had some control over when it came on, this is why I won`t do too well playing tight in long tournies, if it gets boring waiting for good hands, ill get restless and go on tilt or mind will wander off to the land of magic pies etc.. Any other ADHD people on here? How do you handle it?
I have loads more questions but I`ll bore u later with them
