how do you feel bout your poker game?

At times I think wtf does this villain have? Formulating ranges, counting (pot odds, outs, pot equity....) at the same time trying to disguise your hand, I just get lost in translation.

I've come to terms that I'm just an average poker player at best but that's ok, probably cuz I don't study or play regularly enough.

Poker pulls me back mainly cuz it's so much fun and also for the gambol, but reading this forums keeps somewhat in the loop of trends and strategies.

Wondering if others feel the same?

ur not the only one m8
but experience will come and u will now that u are a good poker player

the trick is not to do all this while playing. Instead, review your play post-session, analyze the most interesting hands, than develop a more intuitive approach to the situation based on what you learned from this analysis.

Generally I like my game as a whole. Recently I have been running so bad in my MTT play that it has killed my ROI%. The odd thing is my Cash Game play has been great. I guess I just need to make a good mix of the 2.

I'm young as well, so I realize that I am inexperienced, but it terms of my pure poker ability, I am pretty confident. The aspect I know I need to work on is my mental game. I need to avoid going on tilt and not get out of my game if some donkey rivers me.

I too feel that I am still in phase of learning; I am reading books and looking videos; still I am building my bankroll and playing in microlimits.

i'm at the point in my poker playing that every time i sit down at any of the home games i play in, i feel that no other person playing in the game has an advantage over me. however with every game there is a chance
the other players are improving and learning so you must try to do the same with your own play as well.

better poker

anyone can be a good poker player it all comes down to the knowing when to get ur chippies in at the right time (and alotta luck)

i think that too often i play not as well as i could, and then when i do, i get variance.

opinion

it needs alot of work

good topic Hit, makes you think.

I know I have had fewer incidents of thinking "he doesn't have that" immediately before calling a guy who obvsiously has the nuts. Used to be a common thing for me... "he ain't got it" ... then out tourney.

I've also been able to get better at figuring out what the other guys at the table have in their hands. I got a note from soemwhere that suggested to always practice figuring out what other players have even when you are not in the hand. That has been helping a lot I think.

Over all I am enjoying playing less often but with a more concerted effort to play "right".

alot less luck than you think if you're good...

learn how to calculate odds in your head quick by reading some books, there are some really good tips out there. Its like translating the dead sea scolls sometimes buy once you start applying it its as easy as walking...and of course fine tuning it all to your own style

Right now I am still learning a great deal because I play a lot more and read on the game a lot. I am starting to seriously study my game. I am s l o w l y building a bankroll and building my skills to start playing micro stakes tourneys/cash games.

poker game...

I love my poker game..I just wish I could be a bit more agressive with no cards.

Bleh im unconfident with my poker game right now ...im starting to study but if you ask me "what did you learn so far" my mind is going to go blank and i will be back to square one. All in all im going to need more power! "MORE POOWWAAAAAA" and then we will all level up like we're supposed to

I'm at a point where I'm raping 10NL, but can barely break even in $3.40 SNG's and it's pissing me off.

I can crush 2nl.

I can't too much else.

been online a few year lost abunch to start, then made some, now on a plateau. learning a lot but not moving ahead fast. meebe thats ok.

My cash game is getting better everyday. I started getting backed and coached 2 months ago, and man has it made a huge difference.

I just wish I had more discipline and could contro my urges to make emotional calls.

I believe everyone is confident 'bout their own game but poker like in pro sports, only the creme de la creme is going to get PAID. Do most ppl have this pipe dream of "making it" is what I'm trying to get at?

Sure we know how to shoot a jumper but can you do this under game situation against a good defender...applying poker principles, adjustment and being analytical at the same time during stressful situations is a skill not everyone possess.

My 2 cents

I like the way I play (most times) but I do know I am an amateur at best
I play in a regular monthly game (about 25-30 guys) and have managed to dominate it this year, but I don't think I'm ready for the wsop.
I usually play online at $1 SnG's and do okay.

I'm by no means a pro, but I earn quite a nice bit of cash aside of the income from my job by regularly playing the $16 18-man sngs at stars. however, does anyone else ever feel like poker sometimes becomes a chore?!

or am i just playing too much....

I think poker strictly depends on your attitude that day. If your going into a poker game with the right mindset and staying on your tip, then you will get far in the tourney. If your messing around and watching tv or eating while your playing your focus is reduced and you might go all in on like 6 10.
