So I have been playing mtt poker now for around 7 months, and after that time I have finally learnt about playing in position (which I must say has really improved my game) but I really struggle in certain spots of the right decision to call or fold. I really want to improve because I love this game can anyone recommend good poker coaches
Hello brother. I agree with all the opinions of our fellow forum members, although my favorites are the opinions of Luvepoker and Gallarado regarding my history playing poker.
I played
online poker until 2007, after my wife's disease (parkinson's disease) I stopped playing for a long time and thanks to a miraculous surgery that they did to her and today, thank God, she is very well, I have returned to play in 2021.
The game before was very different from now. The tutorials always existed but I think that before we say that the players had more glamor to play.
Today mathematics, possibilities and strategy are a priority, although luck is also a fundamental factor in the game.
I'll give you an example, a long time ago if you watch videos of tournaments there were hands that several players limped and when the BB was reached there were maybe 5 players that entered a hand, very few with the option of fishing with a good hand example KK These generally made 3bet or 4bet, and if 5 players entered in a hand and the chances of your having the best hand varies in percentage. I was one of those players, for example I had a QJ suite and limped in different positions. There yes when I was lucky that my QJ suite could be the best hand in general the pots I grabbed were big but this did not happen too often and in the end 8 out of 10 times I ended up folding.
When I read a tutorial on codepoker.com about when and why to limp or not, I ended up improving my game by 100%, also improving the value of my positions. For example, if you are in UTG and you limp you will always find a villain who will 3bet you at least if you want this, check it out in practice in a tournament. But this situation changes if you enter UTG and minimally miniraise, you'll see that everyone starts to think because even today I have seen in many tournaments that many players miniraise you UTG with AA and wait for the rest of the table to think Overall he has the best hand preflop.
Even before I had Bingo players only in the
freerolls and in the cash tables, today you have Bingo players in all the moderately paid tournaments that, as a colleague told me in a post that I made, you have to take into account that there are players who only enter tournaments to have fun, not to win money just maybe because of the stress level of their work day or because they are millionaires or for any reason, and these players who play only the luck factor leave you out of any tournament at any time.
It's good that you have been learning the matter of game positions. That is something essential.
For example, in the hand that you played with Luvepoker, it is good that it is not well expressed in what situation of the tournament you are in, or if it is an MTT or cash table, but anyway, assuming that it was in a tournament and you in SB would have had a similar stack or superior to the button I would have made a call/raise 3bet in the preflop, from then on if the button was playing against you if he made a calllimp you went on to send in the hand, if he made for example a 4bet you could analyze what have a hand superior to yours and even fold or see the flop and there without a doubt where the flop came out with A10 or double pair directly all in and what does he think.
Well, as Gallarado says, the best of all is trial and error, if it works for you, do the same as I am doing. Here the group of comrades is very good and I post game situations in this same forum so that others can comment and see if in that same situation one played poorly, or the opponent was lucky, or one did not play well in position and others. That is, if you specify the entire situation well in great detail so that your friends can read your move well and analyze it.
Greetings and a big hug from
argentina and I hope you feel comfortable in this beautiful site of friends
