Sometimes poker just makes so much sense

[KingPoker]

still a one hit wonder, the joe dolce of blonde poker.

...a sort of Althea to KingPoker's Donna?

KP's the one with the big hair and Deidre's Barlow glasses - that is Donna isn't it?  Bit before my time.

DEFINATELY before my time anyhow!!!

I read this and thought how right you are boshi babe.

I am one of the biggest culprits for moaning off on here when I hit a bad streak and never think to post when its good.

Well this month has been a good one for me and I love poker again :-)

Actually over the last couple of months I have played very little to give myself a break and stuck mostly to league games and freerolls and it feels great....no pressure.

Im not getting any better hands than usual but I seem to judge it right when to make a move and when to lay down.

Tomorrow/today I am playing in the 4th leg of a women poker tour and so far I havent done great. This time I am going to be in the best frame of mind I have been in a long time, I wont be so nervous as I know many of the players and im familiar with the structure and for the first time ever I feel positive....I bet I go out with AA on the first hand now LOL...but most important I am going to enjoy this one :-)

Weeeeeeeeeeeep......I should be in bed....NN all >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>gone.

WP boshi, i grind cash like yourself and this week has been a real yoyo. Came good tonight with good game selection and remembering why playing super aggressively is my edge over nits. GL and keep it up.

Oh, and for once a bb post that is actually a proper bb.

I've noticed that during my losing periods, the aggression leaves my game.  I think it's partly the cause, and partly the symptom as well.  At the levels I play at, the aggression factor is certainly key.  I go for the patient aggressive approach usually, but I see others with a more 'carefree' approach doing well too - so I try to incorporate this as well from time to time.

Thing is though, if I'd had the 33 I'd have played it the same way and would have been criticising my play for getting my money in behind (but with double the stack sat in front of me).

This post sums up abit of a big a moment i have had in my poker learning i have had recently. I have always been a slightly profitable cash player but blamed the fact i wasn't making the big money on varience and whatever else i could think of. Which is why I have always had more success at the robotic form of  poker like sng's.

In the last month i have experimented with lagging it up  in cash games and playing tons more especially in position. God have i been missing out, firstly its more interesting and playing this way exploits other players nitting it up by playing more post flop and getting in more marginal spots. Im not anywhere near good yet but i feel like i see the light in cash games now.

This post will make no sense in the morning im sure of that, drinking is good.

this is most peoples problem, they never accept that they might be playing bad... when they win its down to skill and when they lose its variance. I guess its hard to compain as these people fuel the poker economy, but most of the time, "variance" is nothing more then people playing bad and not accepting it.
