Today I have been doing some wood work at my ex-wife's house. We are best friends so I'm right at home. But let me get to the point. All day the words from several of you all keeps going through my head. "Just play solid poker". And you know what? These words have finally come to make sense to me. From day to day I try to do this more and more. And as I see, it does make a difference. Here lately I have limped with hands that I should raise with, and after the flop I'm glad I did limp because I hit nothing. So what it's all about is how good can I hold on to the chips I have until I do hit some good hands and add to my stack. I know one thing, I would rather catch bad cards for an hour than I had catch cards I can call with and them not come to the board. I don't even know if this makes any sense, but for me to play solid poker is to play it my best when I'm catching nothing and when I'm catching 2 out of 3. Bottom line, playing solid poker takes a lot of skill.
