Message: [QUOTE="Ashley Sleeth, post: 6772709, member: 469329"] Haven't heard of it so I don't have any thoughts about it :) It all depends on how your opponent's play, the board texture and what positions you're in. Example of when to be aggressive: Your opponent raises button and you peel the big blind. This opponent raises a lot preflop and cbets 100% of the time PLUS the board is very dry like Q73r. This would be a good spot to check-raise bluff, because they will have a lot of trouble continuing against you since their range is so wide. If they always bet again, you can just call your very best hands like 33 or 77 since you're not worried about any turns or rivers being bad for you. In every situation, just think about how likely you're opponent is to continue betting once you've called your strongest hands. If they don't bet a lot on the turn once you've called OR the flop is draw-heavy, start by raising the flop. I think poker will be a lifelong hobby for me, even if I don't play full time :) Thanks for the question! I was dating a guy who was a poker player and I got interested in the game. He taught me everything online and encouraged me to try and play live as well. Now he's my fiance and still my coach, except now the poker lessons are much more advanced :) I enjoy both the endless challenges AND the possibility of big money. I like the freedom to be your own boss and to travel around whenever you feel like it. I enjoy all of the people from different walks of life that you meet along the way. It's not always easy, but I'm very grateful that I got into it :) That depends on your deal with your backer. Ideally, those details would be worked out BEFORE you play the original satellite event. To become a pro, you just need to consistently make enough money to satisfy your individual needs. If you have a high ROI across many hands/MTTs, then you just need to play high enough buy ins each day to make the income you want.

My biggest one was getting upset when I made mistakes at the table. It got to the point where I would not play for long periods of time because I was afraid I would mess up again. I learned that this was a form of tilt that I could master by understanding that mistakes are part of the learning process. I expected perfection when that is impossible. I realized that executing at the table is an entirely different skill, which helped me not beat myself up so much. If you want to figure out your own form of tilt and work to fix it, I recommend reading The Mental Game of Poker by Jared Tendler. He covers all forms of mental game issues that really helped my game a ton! Good luck. If you are playing tournaments with an ante in play, you can defend VERY wide to a minraise (every suited hand, every Ace, K7o+, Q8o+, J9o+, all paris etc). If your opponents are opening to bigger raise sizes like 2.5-4x, then you can't defend nearly as wide. If you're playing cash games without an ante, you must defend MUCH LESS. You want to defend mostly suited hands or the best offsuit broadways, all pairs, etc. [/QUOTE]
