I would love an article on playing OOP. I don't like the standard advice of "don't play OOP" as it is a vast over simplification. The article could be broken down into:

  • Preflop situations where you should consider playing OOP.
  • Post flop situations where you miss the flop (obviously I mean identifying board textures and situations where you should consider something other than check/fold!).
  • Extracting value post flop, with medium strength and made hands.
  • Considerations for playing three bet pots out of position.

Now you have mentioned it, last night I was playing well looking at the table gathering reads and finding spots to get my chips in and the results were positive, but for some reason a little while later I lost the plot and lost a buyin, its almost as if I was on auto pilot and not thinking, i lost the buyin then it was like I woke up and screamed at myself "what the f$%k was I thinking"

It was very like when I really concentrate on looking at what im drawing and I lose track of time if you know what I mean, I was really wrapped up in the game but not in a logical thinking way.

I think we still need them both. If we see a chair with our left brain our brain just take the concept that a chair has 4 legs, while if we see it with our right one we see the chair as is from our point of view, if the chair only shows 3 legs that's what we're gong to draw.

I'm not sure about this, but I think in general left brain process old information, right brain process latest/current information.

In poker if we see a REG with vp/pf 12/7 raise from UTG, our left brain gonna put him mostly on QQ+, AK, because that's how he's been playing in the past. But if we use our right brain to see this, it's gonna process only the current information and see the player as is so if the REG plays loose on this particular table in this particular session for some reason, we're gonna notice this with our right brain.

It will be taken care, at least I hope so. He had to pay me the money on 10th but he didn't and few other guys have stakes on him.

Thanks! I've been confirming everyone that has been adding me. I am still very new to PS so I don't know people's histories.

I've been skiing for the last few days up in Breckenbridge, CO. It's a great little ski town and the mountain has tons of slopes for people of all different ability groups. The last time I went was 10 years ago in Austria, and I remember my legs feeling like spaghetti after two days of active skiing. I decided to take it easy on this trip so I would have the energy to keep from falling.

Here is a picture of one of the base areas. There were four main base areas with lodges at the bottom. Here is one:

Here is a snapshot I took off a ski lift. On the right side you can see the moguls on the right side. I can't even imagine trying to go down one of those. People that do it must have really strong legs and core muscles. I was getting tired just looking at them.

Finally, here I am right before going down one of the runs. I threw together a bunch of my non-ski clothes to stay warm/dry so I don't look like much of a regular. The only thing I am wearing that's specifically made for skiing is the mask.

Tomorrow I fly back to Georgia and then it's back to work. There is a lot going on in the next few weeks, so I'm hoping this trip gives me the energy to do what needs to get done

This is something very James Bond about those images.

I found myself expecting to see shaven head men on snowbikes trying to pepper you with lead.

I'm holding out hope for director of the next Bond movie to make the right decision:

Thanks! My advice is to pick whatever you think you have the biggest edge in at first. After you build up a beginning buffer, you can try to learn other forms.

We did a poll in which PS members voted for the Turn as the most difficult street for beginners (and I would add intermediate level players to this as well). I posted a thread in the NL Beginner Discussion forum which looks at HH's from difficult turn spots. This is a good time to go through your database and find some hands that you had trouble with.

I do this sort of exercise regularly on my own play and it's very helpful. I encourage you to go give it a shot.
