Fixing the Plumbing

Mending those Leaks

I am now at a point in my game where I really have to make sure I minimize the mistakes I am making. I have noticed some of the things that I am doing that are negating everything that I am doing to make money.

Just a few aspects of my game that I want to work on:

1. I need to cold call more in position and try to be a little less aggressive at certain situations. My aggression factor was way too high on the flop. I am raising people when I should be floating or folding. Granted I am taking this from a small sample of hands, I think improving on this will only help me in the long run.

2. Multi-Street bluffs do not work. Stop open pushing rivers hoping people fold. Yea, these moves work occasionally but they need to be very well timed. As Jared mentioned in one his articles that can be found on Poker Dynasty: The density of bad players at this level is much greater. These players are not capable of laying down hands a "thinking" player will easily let go of.

3. Play more hands. Jesus, have I been doing this. Not enough though. I need to get up earlier in the morning and grind, grind, grind.

I am proud to say I have fixed two very important leaks in my game:

1. I am not playing drunk anymore.
2. I do not go on mega tilt when I get outdrawn.

There are defiantly more things I need to touch on but I am taking a different approach to everything.

Tomorrow, I will go in depth on the habits required to save money. Saving money is something I believe a lot of poker players have a problem doing and I want to dissect this and a analyze my own situation.
