We preach it here, but it has to be repeated over and over...

Don't be results oriented. A single hand isn't indicative of anything.

You need to learn more about position and when to push and how to read opponents, etc. It does come, just not as quickly as we'd like.

Buy into a cheap SNG, put a piece of paper over your hand and play completely blind. You want to practice reading hands and playing position and playing the players. Do this ten times for $10 and I guarantee you'll be a better player.

And not so concerned with results.

It's all a part of the process.

Best wishes.

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Sorry you're only finishing in the 30 something %'s Roy. maybe your'e talking about turbos.

I play $20 and $30 sngs, with 10 minutes blind levels, and for the past 200+ sngs, have 46% ITM. more 1sts than 4th and 3rds.

Patience is the biggest key....and you can hardly have that playing turbos. :wink:
