Its a little rant really, and just some thoughts about where my game is going. A lot of the threads here simply dont interest me anymore. A LOT of the HA descisions are pretty straightforward, dont limp utg with KJ etc etc, and to be honest replying to them is just plain.
What really has started to get me about this game, is that certain situations that id have taken for granted as an easy descision a few months back, arnt quite as simple as they seem. An example of a hand that springs to mind was a thread Ronald posted about raising with AJ. Chris made a comment to me that went something like "Your seriously not telling him to shove a 17BB stack with AJ". It provoked a lot of thought about MY game. I came to the realisation that ive kinda reached a new level of thought about poker, for a while I thought i was moving backwards. Yes I was telling him to shove, I didnt want to post it, because it was something that i felt would have been an easy decision not to several months back. So for my own sake i decided to study and apply Slansky-Chubukov rankings to my thoughts and discovered that i was somewhat correct in what i was thinking. I still have to apply the math and post, but im playing too much at the moment for that
Some other hands and analysis that goes on here, while in the vast majority of cases is correct, sometimes i feel its that there is something vital missing in it, Im not sure if its me a lot of the time, but in essence i think that im starting to reach a new level in the understanding of poker. The vast majority of decisions are not cut and dry, and im kinda starting to feel like a total beginner again, things i took for granted 6 months ago, are now begining to look much more complex to me. I wont really be posting that much until im sure of where my thought process on this is going.
Just so ye guys know, im not by any means saying anything bad about the posters here, and if anyone has an issue with this thread plz PM me, dont post flames, or ill request the thread locked. Im just rambling a bit.
On another note, I made the final table of the 14K GTD on Full Tilt again tonight and made $500
