How bad did you used to be?

I played in last years Deauville EPT, & a journo next to me, clearly on a freebie, called all-in with AJ & lost to T-T. Dealer pushes the chips to TT guy, Journo says "hey, I win - I got 21".....

He is (or was...) the Poker Correspomdent for one of the quality dailies.......

I'm firmly cemented in the ask me next year crew.  But I'm  thankful for people like the guy in my local who still refuses to believe me that someone who checks can re-raise and not just call a bet.

Another 'ask me again next year'.  Only been playing about 5 months, so still lots and lots to learn.

when i 1st started i had a thing about J10,i figured that face cards always seemed to come out, and that i'd have a draw for str8 at least a pair or 2 overs. I think when i started i only ever considered my cards not my opponents. A mistake a lot make when starting online. I also seemed to think pok#cket pairs where the nuts.

The biggest change was when i started to look ahead in the hand, what bet will they make on the turn? if i bet the flop will he flat call and then check me on turn and river giving me free draw?


BTW watching T4 how hot has June Sarpong got in the last few years...............sry distracted

Thinking back to when I started I played those play money tables, managed to accumulate 100K in chips over a few months,I thought I was the beezneez so opened a real money account then realised just how TERRIBLE i really was.I didnt know anything bout positioning or working a way at getting maximum pay. eg- I'd get dealt            and 1st to act and I'd just push allin, every1 would fold and Id show my hand (really proud of my pocket rockets ) Not only did I win a measley 30chips in blinds but the other players on my table would take the p*ss    whereas on the play money tables I'd always gets 1 call or sometimes 5 and 9 outta 10 times they'd hold up, the other players would say WP and NH to me..lol..wot a fishhhh I was..ermm still am, but slowly growing.

Something I've heard mentioned but still know nothing about is the 'under raise', anyone help me on this?? Thks.  TJ
