Hey guys. Having really tough/annoying/frustrating results recently in cash game micro stakes.
The first thing I did when I started playing poker again was to pick up a book Ed Miller getting started in hold em. I read about half of the book first and after a few days of grinding 8+ hours a day I finally was starting to understand the concepts and apply them to my game and saw really nice results. I know it was only a few days but I was even starting to feel I was playing and thinking better. I then went further into the book and even started looking up things online ( hand ranges, player tendincies,) and now I am really just playing worse... making the wrong calls just because I think I know what the guy has in his hands, playing out of position because I am reading the guys hands and think I know what they have and trying to exploit them. Please someone help me. It's so frustrating as I am really trying to learn to be a better poker player.
Am I skipping way to many levels of research? Is hand range reading and player tendincies way to high of a level to even be thinking about right now? If So, is their a specific guideline on what I should be researching first? Thank you in advance.
