If im the only person at this point of my poker carear...then ill be dammned...but either way heres my intro to livepokerforum...
my names robert - and im a poker-a-holic@@...haha no but seriously
like most tight agressive - learned at home - poker players i suffer from the
monster under the bed syndrome...meaning i always give too much credit to other players, or think the long shots will come out on top...
now, as a home player...amongst friends and and semi-new players..i dominate..
im aware of most basic thru advanced concepts
- i got every pre-flop chart and expected value chart at finger tips distance at all times..
- i play online with pokeroffice, and i am learning what hands and when im losing my hands...
- i know that biger bankrolls = confidence and the abilitily to make more certain plays..
- i know to play tight, patient
- and i have read a very good book on poker psychology ( asseing receptive/responsive agressive/passive levels ) meaning i can categorize most players ass system players/loners/hunchplayers/bosstypes(table controllers)/partyhardy/highrollers etc..

where my real fear lays...is in that...

when i play the agressive tight style...i know there are always a few sandbaggers out there with shit cards...preying to flop 2 pair - a set - or a mean drawing hand....
- on the flop..im usualy too scared to bet if i dont hit...if i get called..im usualy in instant fear....
- i find myself getting raised on the turn. for all my money ( especialy in cash games )
- or on the river my final bet sometimes semi-bluff gets pumped

basicaly im wondering...what kind of thought process should i go through on each street...to A ) ensure my hand is still good
B ) im not getting bluffed because of my image
C ) to know somebody hasnt flopped that dreaded low set - or massive hand\

basicaly im going to be expanding my knowlege base..and studying alot on variance
i want to be able to toss out bets with no fear...and know..1000 hands down the line..im doing the right thing..even if im losing to suck outs
i will be doing tons of daily posts on this forum..and i am going to basicaly be devoting myself to art of card games....
anybody lookin to chat or whatever hit me up..ill always listen...and love to chat...
and online 24/7
robert
