Couple Spots, Couple Thoughts
Aphelion, Apr 04 2008
Copied this from LS forums cause I wasn't getting response.
Just moved up to 25NL, found it pretty easy so far, up 4 buyins.
Here are a couple spots I'm not sure I played it right. How would
Hand 1:
+ Show Spoiler +
Hand 2:
+ Show Spoiler +
One thing that worries me a lot is that I don't feel my play to be improving, I basically just play my own cards and the texture of the board, and I take note of some extraordinary plays of the villain and take notes, but thats about it. I rarely find myself calculating hand ranges, and my hand reading is still limited to vague, unsystematic inductions of strength and weakness, and a
rough idea of "the possible hands that beat me".
I don't feel I'm a weak thinker theoretically, but I find that all the quirks about actual playing creates a fog of war which reduces my play to instinct and the most obvious simple plays. This is serving me okay so far, but I feel like I need a quantum leap if I wish to be a long term winner on higher stakes, and again I'm not sensing much improvement in myself.
Did anyone have similar experiences moving up? If so, how did you winning mid-high stake regulars get past that to where you are now?
Sorry if this rant belongs in a blog, but I thought it was something constructive to share.
