Dwarfman's comments thread

Comments here please.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong in poker, I will listen!!

tilting, playing out of your br, making potsized bets every time against fishy opps when a 2/3rds bet would accomplish the same thing and finally tilting.

tilting, playing out of your br, and finally tilting.

I am somewhat infamous for tilting, but I feel I don't do this any more, at least I try my damned hardest not to.

I don't play out of my bankroll anymore.

This could be an unnoticed error in my game - have you seen any hands where I have done this?

Try mixing it up with non hold-em games at lower stakes when tilting... its educational as well as a nice stress reliever (and fun to win a small amount of money in a game you barely know)... and who knows, you may be able to advance in the game (PL omaha and 7 card hi/low are still very, very soft) and add it to your mix when hold-em isn't going the right way

I should really try a bit more Omaha 8, thanks for the advice Ben!

Its how I became addicted to that game... nothing like seeing A2 and screaming I have one part of the nuts... or A2 suited, getting a nut flush and nut low and scooping

Try a cheap 1 or 2 dollar omaha hi/low mtt so you can get a ton of hands in... and the .50/1 game on PS is incredibly soft... I'm teaching my roommate the game and he's crushing it and he was a play money player 2 months ago

ah dwarfyIt isnt the English accent thats doing you wrong.
For me you need to go to one site, make a deposit and work it up into a bankroll from the beginning, concentrating on the fundamentals and on management and on not trying to tilt (this does seem to be a prob im afraid) If you can work up to a 1k bankroll from the lower limits imo you will have conquered most of the problems, which are mostly discipline related anyway. I think you can do it, you just need your arse kicking when it goes wrong on occasion.

My bankroll tipped over $1k the other day, but after stake payments it's at $900, but I'm pretty much there, therefore as you have said, I have 'conquered most of my problems'.

And as I have said before, I feel that playing 10k hands of LHE has given me invaluable help on how to not tilt. I really feel I have conquered this problem now.

As for BR management, maybe that ship is still sailing on water that's a little rough, but I'm trying my hardest on it, thanks to the help given on FTR.

[Miffed22001]

good work
Well if you think you've done ok why not continue the limit work and try to transfer some cash for no limit ring/sng and use an operation again to make similar profits on that. Id say that two successful operations of that sort mean you have for sure conquered that br management problem. (plus 2k is nice )

Setting goals is a good idea, it will help me remain within bankroll management requirements and will give me something to work towards. Thanks for the suggestion.

Start playing like you play in your vids using reason and justified thought, instead of playing like a donk when no one is watching you.

Spend less time in the IRC chat, if not completely quit your ties to the irc channel because it deteriorates your sucess. I cant possibly imagine how you can focus on your games when your in the chat 24/7

Yet if you choose to remain there stop playing childish games and arguing with FTR people.
Instead of irc spend more time reading about the essence of poker and what it takes to be "truly great", since that is your main objective.

Obey bankroll management 24/7, and dont deny the fact that you dont obey it.

Absorb advice given instead of constantly arguing your point of view.

I didnt think he was in IRC all that often... Unless we happen to never match times...

He doesnt say that he doesnt have bankroll problems, he said he is still shakey, but they are mostly fixed... big diffrence

Not that he doesnt need to work on it and fix this problem once and for all...

You cant simply take advice your not sure you agree with, you need to debate it and talk about it... He does take advice, he just doesnt assume that everyone else is right and he is wrong....

[Diminish]

The times I entered the channel he was in there 24/7. Yet, he has the right to be in there I am just offering advice that maybe he shold spend less time acting like a kid in the chat and more time playing poker.

Ive read plenty of post that he has said "I obey bankroll management" and sure enough he goes and contradicts himself. Yet, he says there fixed? The reason he even has a bankroll is because he gambled in the dwarfmans challenge. Usually people who accumulate a 1k roll from scratch grind instead of gamble. With that said, I doubt his bankroll issues will be fixed, yet I hope he proves me wrong.

Yep, he has the right to ask questions yet on a first hand basis he has acted very conceited and self centered when suggestions were offered on particular hands. I dont want to get in any further details on this matter.

That's sincerely the best piece of advice anyone has ever given me. Those are EXACTLY the problems I need to work on, and although you have over-exagerrated a tad, the points made are very true - thank you, Diminish.

[Laeelin]

Well shut my mouth

Yet, you still are not listening

you have over-exagerrated a tad

dwarfman dont make any more excuses like this one. Your not a kid anymore Step up.. and WIN, taste the money and get rid of your bad habits. I sure would love less talk more walk.

I hate to directly contradict you, but don't worry, I am.

I'm not sure there is more variance when you're quad tabling than when you're two-tabling (as per your recent entry about $6 and $15 turbo sngs). Indeed, considering that the more units one plays, the LESS variance will be an issue as reuslts will tend to the average.

If you were a breakeven player, for the sake of argument, you could expect to lose BOTH $15 tables - i.e. bust out completely - one time in 4, whereas quad-tabling the $6s you'll bust out completely only once in 16.

[Miffed22001]

hmmm
my only thinking on the quad tabelling issue is wont you have more chance two tabelling against superior opposition than you will against weaker ones. My curse at lower buy ins was that i would make the right decisions almost every time but get busted by some donk making the wrong move, hence my now lackluster thoughts toward sngs. Id go for the bigger buy ins playing against better opps than lower ones but that would just be me

Weaker opponents = More variance, yet more +EV in the long term.

Stronger opponents = Less variance, yet less +EV in the long term.

Interesting point, you could be right here.

In regard to my 'Regular SnGs vs Turbo SnGs' post, does anyone agree/disagree with me? I'd love some differing opinions on this point.

Except beer. Americans know squat about making beer.

Dwarfy, you never did update us on your 24 hours of sngs before Christmas. At least, I never heard about it! How did it go, anyway? Did you actually manage to play 24 hours??

I he ended it just like everything else in his life, just a little bit short. Ba-dum-ching.

Actually, I was curious as to how this went...Even if you didn't finish, Dwarfie, how'd you end up for your session?

Oh I forgot about that little stint, I'll post an update about that tomorrow sometime. Sorry guys.
