[Colchester Kev]

I hear Thee from Thine  is looking for a daddy

[Robert HM]

Just because I have had a bad few months doesn't mean the answers aren't all up there. I have all the information in this bald ugly head to be a superstar I just cant seem to use the plays at the right time lol. Maybe I can train up a protegey who can take the poker world by storm  
WOnder which on of kev or robert will be the first to use the 3drinks line???

I want to be your young, fresh faced protegy.

[ariston]

Least you can spell it Rob lol. I wouldn't want to be Thee from Thines daddy though, can you imagine trying to explain why its better to play 67 to a raise than AJ? hehe. He has already won more than me and has his very own distinctive style anyway

[Robert HM]

his very own distinctive style

What a polite desciption.

.. and there may be an element of truth in the need for lessons thing, I have a wallet looking like a leaking bucket atm.

As I said on another thread somewhere, I think there are much better spots to put your money in in cash games than AA after a flop where the opponent represents trips.

Fold.

[Delboy]

I say Call!!!

I've been playing these low limit NLHE games for a few months and noticed that this a typical play of someone holding poket 10s and . With a rainbow flop he'll call you down with any set and move in at the river. With A Q he'd re-raise but not all in.

As Robert said he may have got over excited but you'll be ahead more often than not!!

At last I found a poker question I can answer from experience

Thanks for the chance Vamp

Gotta call.  Not many players would move straight in with a hand beating you.  If he has you beat then good luck to him .. just gonna have to pay him off this time!

[Junior Senior]

first of all Vamp, - calling ariston a 'successful player' is the worst read you ever made!... and secondly folding AA on a Q,7,5 board to this guy and in this situation is the 2nd worst read you made.

you have to call in this situation! - if he moves in on you here for what really is a huge overbet then just how strong can his hand be?! - he doesnt want you to call, its an obvious weak hand and his play is shouting to you from the rooftops of weakendom (a place where weak people who play weak hands live)

and as tightend says, call and if your wrong you'll just re-load and get em back later.


... i am just gonna clean my coffee off the screen now!.. ariston - loooooool 


sorry, russ, i am only joking mate, and know you can take a ribbing! 

[vampitup]

Thanks for all the advice guys - think it has proved something to me now, that I am too risk averse and although I knew that, I needed other people to tell me that as well.

Will be playing for a long session today, so hopefully I can try to improve in this respect starting from NOW!

[TightEnd]

Let us know how you get on........

[RED-DOG]

spotting your weeknesses and acting on them is a good starting point vamp.
kev I will offer you one more than 3 caffeine based drinks 

Excellent, was in the process of making a 'Woosh' post when the penny dropped

[vampitup]

A positive start!

Played a 2 hour session (2 tables) at $.5/$1, and ended it $125 up overall, despite missing virtually every draw I had.

Won a couple of big pots where I made exactly those calls I was not making that we were discussing. 

I backed my judgement, and played with more confidence after what was said on here, so really happy with my mornings work!

[TightEnd]

  Well done, keep it going


Listening to some of the guys on here does help you see. Just ignore Tikay

[snoopy1239]

I would have folded.

[pokerram]
