Wrong Desire!
with 11 cent buy in tournaments the players seem to play just as they do on freeroll tournament ginuine luckk.. im trying to move out of this category to real poker
Thank you for posting.
You, like me and many others have felt the same about bingo poker. We all thought if only I could just not play vs maniacs I would do better.
What we really mean is, we want to be more in control they way we want to control the game.
This is a false hope as other have stated players are loose and willing to gamble at all the low levels we can afford to play.
We must focus on our skill set. One skill that many new players do not understand is evaluating variance. It is like a tidal wave at times.
We lose over and over and over to any two cards and it begins to effect how we see the game and our play. If we cannot learn to surf variance moving up will just put us in danger of getting squashed by variance at the next higher level.
Professional poker players have 100 buy in down swings. Have you lost in 100 straight micro level games you played? Are you aware of what a good winning percentage is in micro stakes and how many
hands you need to play to be able to evaluate it?
Variance helps some of us succeed at any level easily. They will say, play tight and you will win! Play well and the fish give you the money! Wait for big hands and you will win!
So you do, but you do not win because of variance. 1 million hands that is what it takes to rid ourselves of the pressure of variance.
How many hands have you played?
I too was were you are. I hope this helps.
