kruger -
don't be so sure that your problems are post-flop.
a lot of post-flop problems are caused by pre-flop decisions/problems/mistakes.
(the old "how did I get into this mess?" question.)
on my "bronze" -
I started w/ 3 free months of gold membership through an offer on 2+2.
That ran out on June 1, and I was trying to buy the points for Silver, but was having a problem w/ Moneybookers, my credit card & Internet Explorer.
at their advice, I switched to Chrome & it worked fine, but it took a few days to figure out.
As a US player, I don't have any options/opportunities to earn status/level.
While the gold membership was certainly very nice, I cannot currently justify paying to continue it when I am basically a 4NL beginner.
as a "low volume" player (about 16k hands since signing up at Merge late February), I understand when the high volume guys want a big sample for a decent review, but I look at my case - I might not log 50k hands in a YEAR!
I might, but that's not the point.
The point is, I would not want to make the same mistakes for that long before fixing them.
I have plenty of leaks to correct.
I just searched the hand evaluation forum for your username & I only see one thread from May 2.
:cough:
you should post hands.
especially the ones where you think you had a problem post flop.
let the community members & experts chime in.
I hope that you are not avoiding posting hands because you are "shy" or worried about looking bad!
because everyone starts as a beginner.
I got a few surprises when I posted a few hands and discovered I knew very little about bet sizing properly or even when to bet in some spots.
but every time I post a hand, I learn a lot.
do you have PT or HM?
scan it for some of the hands you were not sure about & post them!
have you analyzed your vpip/pfr by position yet?
you can procrastinate on your replies, but don't put off looking at your game!
