 Re: Thoughts on betting strategies
Well, playing safe is all well and good...you'll probably rarely win but at least you won't lose as much/fast as others. But when you get to be a better poker player, you notice the game within the game, which is what Ismael was kinda talking about. Noticing people's tendencies, filing them away, and recalling them when decision time comes.
Online kinda takes some of this away as you don't actually see people's "tells" and whatnot, but you can still gauge how they play under certain circumstances. That said, I prefer playing live.
And while it may work okay now, there's probably a better way to play that I'm not aware of/able to do just yet. I can't assume that my way is the best way I can be playing or I'll be stuck in this rut forever ;) |
