Sharing my strategy on CardsChat

[ender0713]

Maybe it’s just me… no, it’s definitely me…

Sometimes I feel like, me - sharing and posting my style and thoughts on CC here is hurting my game.

My cashes have gone down significantly, since I’ve started participating almost daily in these forums.

It has to be me and my mental game, which seems to need changing. I know this is an aspect that will always inevitably need changing, especially as new players come, and older-newer-players become more experienced.

I just feel like I’m shooting myself in the foot here though, by giving away “free information”.
“No free information” has always been a big part of my game. But here I am giving away my secrets, only to have myself exploited by other players. I’ve seemed to have lost “credit” in other players eyes.

So, I think I’m going to start being more vague and less descriptive in my replies on CC from now on, until I feel I’m back where I want to be with my online play.

I don’t like - feeling like I’m being taken advantage of, and for some reason I do.

I came here to help myself and help others, to pay it forward and get better as a player, and become one of the best in world.

But, I guess - it always gets worse before it gets better. At least that seems to be true for me in my life no matter what I do.

Sometimes I wish I weren’t born on a Friday the 13th… 🤣🤣🤣


Has anyone else ever felt this way?

Thanks!

Sounds like social media induced self doubt psych out to me. But what do I know?, I'm no expert.
Chill. Enjoy the lighter side of this experiment. Don't give away your tricks, especially if you regret it.
Anyway, it's highly doubtful that anyone here is stalking you and using your reveals against you at the tables.

Oh , by the way, what's your mother's maiden name again? Lol, JK.

I used to have this illusion often.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

The truth is that I do not think that revealing here in the forum any indication of your game and certain hands in which you participate influence the results of your game. Imagine that it is difficult to read someone in a live table, face to face, imagine that just because you give a written piece of information here. I think it's just a bad streak!

Yeah, cardschat isn't cutthroat like that...

It's about teaching, learning and socialising over all things poker.


Some CC members will learn nuances of your game and playing style after being tabled with you in cardschat freerolls, as would any attentive opponent, but I don't understand how that can be logically correlated with a dip in results outside of cardschat games...? :dontknow:

The entire online poker pool is not accessing this forum taking notes on individuals' tactics in case they happen to end up at the same table as CC member #275,346

Neither are the buy-in games you play populated entirely with cardschat members.

That's not to say you should give away all your secrets and strategies, simply that correlation does not imply causation.

Cardschat is a fantastic poker resource, there is no rule written anywhere stating you must declare all your poker techniques and plays...

Share what you feel comfortable sharing or that which you think might be helpful to others.

You certainly don't have to give anything away that you worry people might be able to use against you at the felts... :wink:

Like for example, I'd never state openly on the forums that if someone 4bets my 3bet, I always fold, even with aces..

That'd just get me into all sorts of trouble... :flute:

 

[MishkaZL]

My participation in our community has only had a positive effect on me, and my results have improved significantly. But in general, I think the whole secret of poker is to be patient, disciplined and responsible.

man, i think this is paranoia. So much information available at the tables, it is impossible for someone to search the forum for something to use against their game...

Skavenger, thanks man, ur probably right! Either way, after some serious thought, i think it’s just a mental obstacle… one that I look forward to overcoming.

My participation in our community has only had a positive effect on me, and my results have improved significantly. But in general, I think the whole secret of poker is to be patient, disciplined and responsible.

MishkaZL, thanks for contributing, i definitely agree overall that the CC community has been a huge benefit and pleasure to be a part of. I also agree that poker is about patience, discipline, responsible money management, and consistency.

Tracid, thank you for your input, I also definitely believe CC is all about what you said: “teaching, learning and socialising over all things poker.”

Undoubtedly other attentive players I see often at tables will eventually pick up on the nuances of my different strategies.

I love everything else you shared too.

Thank you!!

Uncloggie,

Haha, totally… what a great sentence, “ Sounds like social media induced self doubt psych out to me. “ lol

I’m all about chillin and enjoying the lighter side of things, thanks for the reminder to do so, and the words of wisdom!

…my moms dead btw, she died yesterday…

JKJKJK lol

alien666dj,

Right on! I’m glad I’m not the only one!

This too shall pass 🙏❤️👍👍

Ender, even though I'm now replying in your thread, I will most likely have forgotten your existence in 1-2 days, unless I read more of you, of course. You and I, and everyone really, are the protagonists in the respective book of our lives, but outside our skulls we're mere footnotes for others (this is especially true since we're basically all strangers to each other). Let's say I would reveal something really embarrassing about myself in these forums; outside of this community it would not impact my life in the slightest, however. So chill and take solace in the fact of your inconspicuous anonymity.

Mauricio Perrotta,

Thank you for your truth!

I believe it is what you said “a bad streak!”

Thanks for the support!

SopianaeExtra,

BuHahahA… likewise ;p What an opener, lol, cLassiC!

And, thanks for the analogy or metaphor! (Or, whatever it was! Haha) Haiku?(jk)

…That’s some deep stuff tho, thank you for sharing. …

Love this, “So chill and take solace in the fact of your inconspicuous anonymity.”

On another note, I have three nipples.

Lol

B ... br ... Brother??? You've got an account here, too? But didn't that Slovakian fortuneteller warn you about starting to gamble?

I think that you just think that you are being followed and some information is being used against you! It seems to me that the players on our forum learn quickly due to the fact that they share their experience, and here a lot of people improve their level of the game quite quickly! You must understand that other people are also learning and gaining knowledge about poker, they are also progressing and do not stand still in terms of development! Maybe you just need to work more on the game, and get more new knowledge about poker, discipline! I wish you good luck and patience at the tables!

Lukovnikoff,

Thanks dude! Based on everyone’s responses, I should probably go see my therapist again hahaha
Thanks for the support, and hope to be one of those progressive players!

Patience, discipline and consistency [emoji108]

Ahahaha… she was Romanian.

I think the odds that the people on your table have read anything that you have posted at CardsChat are very, very low.

Thanks!

Perhaps you should've posted something suggesting the exact opposite of what you've written here (if this is really your concern).

Maybe something like "I'm planning on providing an even greater in-depth look at how I play hands than I have in the past. Stay tuned for some easy reads for the meta game!" (& then do just the OPPOSITE).

... see what I'm getting at here?

 

[marvinsytan]

i think this feeling is only you, don't worry about it, they just always have the goods

 

[blueskies]

Do people even know your username on the poker sites.

No offense, I have no idea who you are at the tables.

 

[1nsomn1a]

I don't think that there are still some completely unknown actions in poker to worry about revealing their secrets, there is a lot of information on the game of poker in modern times, but well-known strong players still remain winners despite the disclosure of many secrets. Maybe just a bad streak, good luck.

 

[blueskies]

Once you've been at cardschat a little while you can usually find out members' usernames relatively quickly & easily, like this...

PokerStars: rainmaker16888
BetOnline Poker: siulaba888
AmericasCardroom: siulaba888
Sportsbetting Poker: ReverseJinx
Replay Poker: YeshirMesh

:flute: :biggrin:

I dont see much for op though. There is an acr name there but it doesnt ring a bell.

 

[franken222]

Seems to me, that using CardsChat as a reason for losing is unfair, and invalid.

You're making it seem like you only play against ChardsChat members, or that CardsChat members are the only ones that play poker.

Also, I would doubt that there are many members that would take note of your handle,, and remember it, if they happen to come across you, when playing.

We're all here to help each other, and not to take advantage of each other.

It works both ways, players read your strategies, and you read theirs.

 

[KozakAlex]

Good luck to you in this matter. I've never read about your style of play. So don't worry, I won't be able to use it against you. Improving the game is the goal of this forum. But someone has to lose. Those who will win significantly less. What does it depend on?Some bad players have been very lucky for a while. After that, they consider themselves super players, when the luck is over, they start looking for the culprits...

 

[najjah166]

if you share how you play and your strategies, do you think anyone will remember how you play? I think you make up your mind, if you lose review your strategies, and learn every day, question yourself and don't put the blame on others,

 

[najjah166]

and you don't need to reveal your way of playing to other players, just watch yourself for a quarter of an hour on the table to know what kind of player you are

 

[Newzooozooo]

Hi.
If you think this is bad for your game, what's the problem? ..... just stop sharing information.
But in general it sounds pretty strange to me ....
Although you may have invented your own unique style of play.
Good luck.

Poker Orifice,

Lmao, yeah I did actually consider that before starting this thread. However, in my opinion, and experience (outside of CardsChat) that’s “bad juju” or “bad kharma” for me personally… in my experience, both in life and poker, “we get what we give” and “receive back to us the energy we put out in the world”. I try to “do unto others as I would want them to do unto me”.
So if create something that is meant to look like it’s helping new players, when in reality my intention is to give them bad advice and confuse them to make them play worse, in an effort to have “easier opponents” then I might actually subconsciously on accident start playing as badly as the B.S. that I’m writing about.
I do appreciate you reply, as this is actually something I’ve tried in the past. But when I did, the result was basically what I just described.
I wish nothing but the best for all honest and honorable players on CardsChat searching for ways to improve their game.

LOL, thanks for the reply!!! [emoji23]

Dear Newzooozooo,

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I’m trying to tone it down some on the info that I share.. Lol… and I like to think that I am inventing, and continuously developing, my own unique style of play!

Love your reply, thank you!

(Like a comedian developing his own unique sense of humor) 👍👍😇💯

Thanks Debi! I think you’re right!

i think this feeling is only you, don't worry about it, they just always have the goods

Dear Marvinsytan,

I think your right! It’s definitely a feeling that is more than likely only me! I once heard “90% of the problems we have aren’t even real, they’re just things we think could happen that our in our head”… And I believe this is one of those moments for me … And, you’re right, most the time if I lose it’s because they had the goods, and I was going for an outrageous bluff, that I’m sure the world would have loved to see, haha. Then, I analyze the hand shortly after to try and determine exactly where I went wrong in the story I was trying to tell, and the point at which I should have folded or gotten out.

Thanks for the posted reply! and GL!

Do people even know your username on the poker sites.

No offense, I have no idea who you are at the tables.

Blueskies,

Lmao, I don’t know do they? Hahah, I only really play on ACR, where my table name is, CL0ak (I think it’s listed on my CC profile?)

No offense taken! Thanks for the laugh, hahah

Much love, and may your skies stay clear and blue!
