Hello, I am ... well, doesn't matter who I am. I start playing poker like 7 months ago, since then I've played nearly 400k hands (90% of them on zoom) and I'm still on NL2. You would probably ask why, so I will answer immediately - I have no idea
Had few shots on nl5, 100k hands there, but few losses and had to go down again. I don't feel like the worst player in the world, I'm just missing something in my game, I hope you will help me to find it out. Ok, let's end this boring introduction and start with lesson #1.
btw. sorry for my english, I know that it's not perfect, but I hope you can understand what I want to tell you.
Lesson #1
Question 1: What is your motivation for playing poker? (Be as vague or specific as you want with this one, but try to think of all the reasons and elaborate on them.)
It's a hard question. I'm playing online games for 8 years now and I always wanted to be the best in anything I do. I wish to be known in the poker society, respected, so I could say to myself - Hey, you've done a great job, you didn't lose your time at all.
But that's not the most important thing that motivates me, I'm leaving my city soon, because of studies. School is on another side of my country and I'm going there only because I want to fight for one girl
I need some money for living there also. Enough
Question 2: What are your weaknesses when playing poker? (What are the mistakes you know you are making during your games? Are you playing while you're tired? Are you tilting easily? Want to see the showdown too much? Write down as many as you think are affecting you.)
- Concentration, I'm getting distracted easily. Can't focus on my A-game, I think it's the most annoying weakness I have, because I can't eliminate it in a moment.
- 2nd weakness is my hero calls. I just can't believe in their hands, it's like - oh, he has flash probably and most likely it's AQs, but whatever, I'm unbeatable. Well, I'm not. Most of the times they show exactly the same hand as I thought they have.
- Next one is my range, I just can't open. I'm playing like 10/8, I'm sure that I'm losing a lot of value not playing other hands.
- Bet sizing, how much should I bet for value, for protection, for letting them call with worst hands. Simple to correct, but never had idea how to deal with it.
Question 3: What does it mean to play tight aggressive? (Describe in your own words what playing tight aggressive is and why does it work.)
Tight means playing only selected hands depending on position. Aggresive is a playstyle, more betting and raising instead of calling. Short answer, but I have no idea what I can write more about it.
