Message: [QUOTE="Ashley Sleeth, post: 6772694, member: 469329"] Hey patrice- I lost $3,500 at the WSOP this year. I don't mind sharing since it's on my youtube. how do you play now? I can't help you without knowing a little more info about your current style. Thanks. I play on WSOP and Global poker. For international sites, I think ACR and GG are the ones with the biggest prizepools. All of them! haha. In seriousness, it's obviously best to have a big stack relative to the average stack. But if you don't, studying how to make the most of your shorter stack is a huge part of winning poker tournaments. Survive long enough to run good and win the whole thing :) When you're deeper stacked, premium preflop holdings will have higher chances of not winning by the river. It obviously depends on the board texture and positions of players in the hand, but with more money to play for, you should employ some pot control or you will likely run into stronger hands at showdown. Practice assigning your opponents a range of hands. Saying things like "it's rare when someone dares to 3bet a marginal hand" is a good start, but try to be more precise in your thought process. Does that mean your opponents is only 3betting KK and AA or do you think they could 3bet JJ+ and AK? This will help you throughout the postflop portion of the hand. I would be careful about assuming too much about your opponents' 3betting ranges at micro or low stakes until you see showdown. You could be folding to them too much or giving them too much credit for having super strong hands just because they 3bet. Either way, try to think in terms of ranges and how your hand fares against their entire range. Good luck! Hey Denis- this is a common thing for people who want the experience of playing live. I'm not going to mince words here: If the stakes are high enough that they are causing you to make consistently poor decisions at the table, the stakes are too high for you. You will lose money overall if you can't take risks at the table. Poker is a volatile game where even the best play can lead to losing the pot when you're opponent gets lucky. If I were in your shoes, I'd stick to freerolls or micro stakes until I built a roll big enough to handle the variance of the game. Otherwise, you won't enjoy it and will be losing money in the long run due to suboptimal play. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
