I got some cool tips from someone who’s poker skillz I really respect. Thanks Thumbs!
Thumbs poker tips for Jav … -
- work on your reaction to looking at your own cards -
- don’t look at your cards until the action is to you (this hurts saying because it will actually slow your play down more) - forget the acting … it is not for you -
- vary your play more … slow playing big hands and betting your draws may seem like you are attempting to get maximum value for your hands but it makes you predictable
-
- sometimes the optimal play is suboptimal
- I am not necessarily saying play a wider selection of hands I am saying if you flop a made hand sometimes you should bet it, sometimes you should slow play it. If action A = action B then eventually action C = rebuy

Heres Thumbs with his winnings:
One thing that kills me is the Baron. He put me out again. Basically whenever I go all-in the Baron will call. The bad thing is not his auto call it’s my insistence in giving him that option. Wow, I think I have a mental block in that regard. Note to self: Must remember if Baron is still to act.
