How to stop playing each hand?

Aleksandr Sarpov · May 24, 2017

How to teach yourself to play only with a good hand? I noticed that I often play almost all hands and play very aggressively. I notice it and I understand what's wrong. I start to control myself, but after a while I again unconsciously turn to an aggressive game with almost any hand. How to stop playing like this? Can eat what that special training?

vladikov · May 24, 2017

You have to control your game. I play in this way only the bigger the blinds, the more I shake my aggression and play only certain hands. Almost every pair and AK, AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ,

BriceNice · May 24, 2017

If you're having this problem, self control alone isn't going to do anything for you. So I suggest you sit down at a cash table where the blinds are 10 dollars. or higher if you like. Play every hand as you currently do and see how you feel after about an hour of that. Do this everyday for a month, and I GUARANTEE you will be cured of wanting to play every hand.

Well you know what the problem is, so it will be easier to over come. Your problem reminds me of my tilt problem I had when I first joined CC about 6 years ago. For 6 months all I worked on was my very bad tilt problem. And you have to do the same thing. You catch yourself playing any and every hand you go back to the way you want to play and you keep your problem on your mind at all times, and you keep going back over and over, and before you know it you will be playing your game with the good hands. But at times some of those hands have their place in your game. That's another lesson

But if you will be honest with yourself, you have a problem with wanting to be in the action all the time. You can't fold and wait for a better hand. That's too slow for you and it's no fun or exciting. If you don't get these problems under control. you will see many BRs go down the drain and fast. Or are you willing to pay that price just to have your heart pumping with excitement every time you are in a hand no matter if its a wining or losing hand. This is a fact and I'm not the only player that has to do this in order to stay in the game until the good hands start coming, I have set for the whole first hour and folded 90% of the hands I got. And most of the time it was worth it just to get to the FT

GL to you

LOL. :laugh: Well I don't know if I'd call this good advice, but I'd also be surprised if you were not cured, if you followed it. Broke (or badly bent) but cured.

Maybe play more than one game, say four at the same time. That should keep you occupied.

If you know that you are doing it then just stop doing it, I don't believe that you are doing it unconsciously, you know you have a problem with it but you keep doing it, that is not unconsciously that is lack of discipline.

If you are playing every hand you will be extremely exploitable and a good player will take your entire stack in no time. You have to pick and choose your aggression or it will cost you a lot. Get a opening range hand chart and follow it to a T for a while until you know it like the back of your hand. At that point you can adjust your opening range to suit the table you are at. good luck.

That is, if I will be many and often lose from this, then I will stop doing so? Well, maybe. Just do not want to spend a lot of money on it)

Drink a soothing

calmly fold the card and play only a strong hand, in 90% against the aggressive style you will be in a winning situation, conservative poker is the key to success especially at many table tournaments

This is a very good advice. Thank you. When I read it, it became clear why I started playing each hand. Firstly, I really get bored fold. Secondly playing turbo tournaments very often my entire stack goes to the blinds in anticipation of a good hand. In the third often it happens so I throw off for example 4 K, and the flop comes 44K

This is the problem that I do unconsciously. As soon as I start to notice it again, I immediately stop. But then I start concentrating more on the players, on their game. Because of what again I cease to control myself

And can I more about the range of hands? I've heard a lot about him, but I still do not understand what it is

VizziVizo · May 25, 2017

This is what separates a professional poker player from a fish. He knows how to play marginal hands, he has them in his range. To earn the skill of playing loose-ag you have to understand that no matter who you are , if you play every single hand, you lose. You must avoid these things and play only premium hands (at first), and only after it you can try the variety of other hands you would like to add to your range.

I know that this is the key to success.) On this and I think my game is very bad. Yes, I fish.))) But I would like to do without pills. Soothing is unlikely to help, and the tablets from the fact that you are not yet a fish.))

Ruminate · May 25, 2017

So you feel like you're playing too loose.

Try giving yourself another criteria to think about besides the strength of your hand before entering the pot - such as position. Consider your position along with your cards and ask yourself how many opponents get to act after you? Play your super premium hands from any position but try to save speculative hands that need help for late position.

That is, drop everything that is worse than AT and the pair below TT?

I always pay attention to the position. But only in the question of how many more people will be able to enter and whether to steal the blinds. I did not think about the fact that it depends on the position whether to play the hand. Thank you for your advice.

I wouldn't agree with this advice. You will lose your whole bankroll in no time and you want to fix a problem, not create another one.

Stop playing, for now, do some research on hand strength and position.

Download flopzilla, have a play around and learn how certain hands do against others, get used to what the top 15% of hands are.

Equilab is also another good piece of software to have a play around with, learn about equity, what equity you have against villains range.

When you do play, bear in mind that you have a massive leak in your game and opening nearly every hand will eventually get you hurt and exploited by a decent player. Play tight, too tight for a start if you have to, then you can start widening your range but get the folding under control,

steadman0 · May 25, 2017

Have something like this open when you are playing to get used to what hands you can play in what position.

This chart is a little wider than I would play but it is a good starting point to get your head around and only playing stronger cards in position will help your game without doubt.

Good luck!

Aleksandr Sarpov · May 25, 2017

I tried to play only strong hands. For the test went into the cash game with $ 0.8. An hour later came out having $ 2.42. Not a bad result. You must now always behave yourself so. All thanks for the advice. If there are more tips, always happy to listen.)))

This is a great table. many thanks. I will print it out and keep it to myself. It is very convenient and easy to use. thanks again

EvE2K · May 25, 2017

I understand your problem and i have the same feeling. I want to play lots of hands, but it,s impossible to win each hand. You need to better work on yourself. If you want to win you need to fold bad hands without a position. Also i can advice you hyper-turbo tournaments. There is more luck when skill in this tournament, so it,s easier to win there, even with bad hands.

Now just played such a tournament. Has spent the whole stack on the blinds. Not once did not call. Had bad hands. Made rebuy and again the whole stack went to the blinds. Made another 1 rebuy and went good cards. Played a little, but then after getting an A10 and opening on the flop 9KJ called all-in another player. And lost everything. Q did not come. Apparently late as it is inherent in girls.

Yoo · May 25, 2017

i use something like this

Categoria 1: AA, KK

Categoria 2: QQ, AKs, AKo, JJ

Categoria 5: AJo, ATs, ATo, KQo,

Categoria 6: A9s-A2s, KJo, KTs,
