I've seen players playing this crappy hands like 72 suited or Q4 off at 25 NL!! And guess what, he won big pots with these hands. Imagine situation you know his style but, you are trying to isolate him when you have aces, but this players are hard folding their hands pre. The flop came 44K, and what do you do? You would fold ur aces putting him on Q4? No way... He wins big pot and crushesh your hand. I don't tell that he is getting this flop every time he plays this hands, but he needs only one to win big at 25NL and if he knows how and when to fold, which is not that hard to do(missing most of the flops) he does really great profit at all. And sth more imagine if the player i am talking about is really agressive and never afraid of what u got, you never know what he has, and even more easily you can lose a lot of money playing with him.

This is basically why I'd never try to make a living at Poker. You can play perfect poker and not make money for years.

The best lesson I have learned is that, no matter what I do or how I play, I will never win at this game.

Playing in the casino, with 2 thousand, I was very nervous at the table and lost all my entry, after doing the repurchase I got up and went out a few minutes to smoke a cigarette as I was sitting on the button, Player and tells me these are very nervous you notice many mistakes and I advise you to play calm and to take away the fear to use my game, to play quietly and observe the table well, do not be afraid to risk if my hand is good And the flop helps, after that use everything you told me and recover the lost and end up winning another two thousand more

I learned to be not too much agressive witha a flush or a straight when does it has a pair in the tabble. The full house just can kill you.

The best lesson I've learned is to be patient and refrain from playing any two preflop with the hopes of hitting the deceptive big money winner.

I consider that it isn't necessary
1) to think of money and to try to earn quickly them
2) to play when it is tired and abstract other thoughts
3) to give in on madness of poker (in case of loss) and to lose all money

The best lesson I guess is that it really is important to have a bankroll and don't spend anything more than what I have decided to , that gave me a motive to improve my game and have better results now and in the future . Another is to pick the spots and be aggressive , so that I stop playing like a nit and start playing poker at last and not kind of bingo game .

The best advice I have learned is to never back down in a tournament, no metter what. If you have 1 chip and 1 chair, you have chance to win!

Best lesson I had learned was to not focus on the bad beats or the donks but to face myself and ask why arent you winning against theese types of players.

the person who trained me always pointed out that it is up you and your self to make the best decisions and moves or plays in the game. If you have problems look at your self first and dont cry or blame any one because I have control over how and what I play.


Have a great day at the tables

My best experience, and in fact it was recently echoed by a poker guru just a few days ago, was to to be aware of everyone at the table, their actions, their nonactions, their cards, why they are betting, why they are not betting, when they fold, etc... instead of only paying attention to myself and my own cards. Look at the big picture and mine the data constantly.

I'd say this as well.

The biggest improvement I've made occurred when I stopped narrowly focusing on what hand I happened to have and played the table instead.

Then I would avoid such variants in tournaments, I play each hand on small limits, and when the limits become bigger, I play only on the card. In my games, it justifies my game and most I go to +++.

The best advise I ever had about poker was on an article I red years ago, but still true. Poker is about to fold in the right time, and Im sure that this simple sentence saved me a lot of trouble in my poker life

Your next hand won't be a monster if you bust this hand.

Even after going through various videos and reading material with common lessons on judge opponent range sometime I get too focused on what I have. This lead me to play JJ and loose against AA. Try to analyze complete game rather than just your hand. Also, have patience!

The best lesson I've learned (the hard way) is when you can't win a hand and to just give up on the hand and move on to the next. Sometimes it can be hard after firing 2 bullets at a pot, just to give up but there are times when a 3rd is getting called 100% of the time.

My best two tips is: Don't play too many tables at once and that river raises almost always means you are beat (at the microstakes), and you should fold to them. Still breaking both of these rules from time to time myself, but trying to do it less frequently :p
