i let emotion run my game sub consciously
That is some good advice, i was hoping to find maybe a player that would have a chat over skype or something one day and let me view them playing for a while and just have a chat about what they are doing and why to understand other players insights.
I have read pretty much every poker book ive found, slept with things like the little green book audio playing in my ears, played both live and online for a very long time, probably since i was 11 or 12 or so.. which would be roughly 10 years now, never really put any money into poker until the past 6 months or so, ive always watched poker games, i understand the math of it all, it just seems that when i make a move such as.. Pushing pre flop with a high AK-AQ and upwards, getting called by like a Q10, completely out of position, and ends up flopping a monster and completely robbing me playing like an ace pair or something, i guess i get really frustrated at players playing any 2 cards, not only because they are playing like 40% of their hands but they are lucking out when they play their "junk" (My opinion) starting hands. And before you know it my pre flop raises have turned me into a short stack, so when i do shove my AK into a 4-6 and get crushed im just like.. What the hell did i do wrong? And im assuming playing against these players is making my emotions get the better of my decisions.
Ya know, i'd love to do this as well. Would really like to pick a better players brain on their play!
I've been reading & following your posts & was thinking about asking you if you might be interested in this. (send me a pm if you're interested)
this is perfect example why i never raise pre flop with AK. I've been told it's the wrong play but in my experiences so far, and yours, it's not. Cash game maybe, but SNG's and tourneys, alot of people will call with anything just to see a flop and they usually luck out. I've broken several things in the last month when i've been ahead and got sucked out by stupid stupid stupid hands. ALL in call with 7 3 and beat my KK???
I feel as though i am a better poker player then my results are showing simply because i let emotion run my game sub consciously and i do not know how to remove this from my game, can anyone help?
