How bad a player did you use to be? I have been playing for around two years now and i used to call raises with all sorts of crap provided they were suited.  ,    you name it. When i hit my 9-high flush  i used to wonder why the betting was going crazy on a board like this  two spades two hearts . ahahhahahahah i was crazy man. Gives me alot of comfort knowing that there's loads of other crazy players out there right now doing the same thing and worse.

When I first started I was so terrible I had ruthless take me to one side and she gave me a good talking to. Later on that week she was at my house practising £1 STTs on william hill which helped me improve slightly. I would let the blinds eat me away until I was out. Another thing I was quite bad at was during STTs I would do ok until there were about 4 or 5 left, thetank had been watching so pressured me to bubble bully. Another thing that thetank noticed was that I was limping A LOT. I still haven't quite got the guts to raise every hand I intend to play, I still limp a bit, but I've improved!

I've still got loads and loads and loads to learn, but I'd like to say I've improved since September.

Im glad i help you out sophie, and your game has come along way. That day i came around yours i found that you was very scared to call raises and to put raises in yourself, but after showing you how to play the players it opened your eyes. You have to have aggression in your game to win, you can't just rely on good starting hands, or luck. you need to be aggressive at the right time, and know how to control it also, which i find hard to do some times.
But having this in your game has help, you dont get shy now when someone bets, you understand now that somtimes they are just asking a question, and not betting becasue they have something! It took me sometime to rerasie in my game, but now i do it all the time. You have to know where you are in a hand Cool
Roll on to your 1st live mtt Win thumbs up

I had an amusing argument with a bloke in walsall a while ago who in his own words had been playing for years.

We both had a pair of kings and his kicker was a J and mine a Q, he insisted it didn't matter as only the pair counted. In the end i just picked up all the chips and the dealer delt the next hand pretty sharpish, he chirped on for about 10 mins after until he was knocked out.
