Hey


Ok ive been taking a break from playing to read some books.


And i was thinking after reading a somewhat intimidating introduction to NLheeory and practice in which they basically say dude you can read this book all you want but if you aint a natural your pissing time against the wall.......which sort of made me think how will you know if your a natural or not, if you can ever do really well?



Then after reading this book i started to get slightly confused in mainly this book but others also you are presented with so many ultimate statments:

Mistakes are where the money comes from

Good players profit is the difference between them building large pots with their good hands and keeping the pot small with their bad hands.


And i dunno the book just seems quite confusing to me all this setting traps and stuff they talk about seems real hard. My problem with what they say is that they keep adding things you should be thinking about at each point like do i have a big pot hand......how shall i play the whole hand out to get the biggest pot with my big pot hand but also things like putting your opponets in situations where they are likly to make mistakes and setting traps for them......all these things you have to think about...seems i dunno wierd

So anyway so I can see the bigger picture easier im gonna take notes, ill post them up here for others if they help me out.


(i just stacked a guy first hand i played at this table on stars )


If anyones read/studied (nlhe theory and practice) i sure would love to have a quick convo with you.

Cheers

well remember those diaries i told ya i had ... when i saw the start of your topic i actually remembered that i had something written down about it ..so here it is ... it comes from the big mistakes section. you know this stuff but here it is for someone who doesn't.
mistake #3 ......... thinking you're a natural! poker is extremely complex involving math, psychology, body language skills, self control, performing under pressure a ton of things. no matter how good you are @ poker, there is always room for improvement. and in each respective area of the game, there is always more to learn. poker has been around along time. strategy has been developed. there are step by step techniques, tricks, and "plays" you can use to win more. they won't just "come to you" like a light bulb over your head. you've got to study the game, talk to other players, be constantly learning more in order to push yourself to the next level<<< i do not take credit for this i wrote it down after seeing it on a website
point is no one is a natural. great players get where they are by learning. someone has taught them the tricks to win more. i know why that book is confusing you.. don't fall for that make a dollar fast book. you know the good writers... read the good stuff

yeah i've tried party poker and the graphics or something just turns me off about that site. they couldn't give me free money to play there. something about it... i can't explain it or maybe i'm just too loyal to pokerstars i don't know. thanks for the link anyways. also thanks for pointing me to this site it's great!

You know you can change the skins?

i didn't know you could change the enviroment on party but they lost me along time ago. i noticed you could do the same on pokerstars but everytime i try to play with one of the themes i lose it. it distracts me so bad i have to switch it back to default as fast as possible and try to save myself. i keep tryin it anyways cause they've made so many. but i always end up playin with that same ol' default theme in the end. i guess i'm too blonde to handle all the graphics or something.

maybe you should work on basics before you read an advanced book.

Ive studied a basics book this book aint too advanced for me....its just putting all the concepts together is quite strange
