I never finished the art of war, but over half way through, it still seemed to be focusing on knowing yourself. Knowing yourself is a skill. If you can't recognize your weaknesses, you can't improve except by dumb luck. If you can't recognize your own weaknesses, how can you recognize your opponents' weaknesses? How can you even know if you can really beat the game if you don't know yourself well enough? Numbers fluctuate over time, you must know while you are losing and winning. Therefore, the most important skill is knowing yourself.Robert Kiosaki calls it gambling not on the cards, but

Apparently the WPT or Lyle Berman told Daniel that they aren't keeping casinos from having other tournaments as part of a "noncompete clause"? What about Shana Hiatt? Apparently they are keeping her from working for a different poker show a year after she left because of a noncompete clause. This is a little bit of evidence that the WPT takes their noncompete clauses a little more seriously than I gathered from reading Daniel's blog. I'm not saying that I know more than Daniel here, but it's a little interesting to see this event come to light now. I think that this here lawsuit between th

Are you using a larger than normal font for your resolution? That might be the problem because none of the fold buttons are near the call button on my computer. They keep check/fold and fold to any right where the fold button will appear.alsoI don't like Royal Vegas either. I know nothing about the players or have a money won reason for it, but the fact that they start counting your time down in the middle of the screen as soon as the action gets to you. This makes me feel rushed and I don't make decisions well when I feel too rushed. I could get used to it and then I might like the site,

I had been meaning to ask about poker mountain? I checked it out a while ago but there were just no people on it..hows the site look now? it any better?It's true... no one has anything to say about poker mountain. Only 64 people pley there at a time. How many of those people are from here? Then, how many of those people from here only are here for Daniel's posts in his blog as opposed to the forum? Software wise, it is not bad. If you take Pokerstar's Ideas about organisation and mix it with non cluttered graphics of a windows 3.1 or sega genesis programs, it's potential is quite easy to

Well more fish = more bad beats also....by using more fish = more money logic(wh/ is obvious). Therefore if you play with less fish....less bad beats....you play your "A" game more frequently...you win more moneyThis is going by the possibility that this person who easily goes on tilt only easily goes on tilt by "BAD" beats, yet that doesn't cover all of the "easily goes on tilt" requirements in my book. If you play with less fish, you get more "good" beats, which will make the "easily goes on tilt" person say that they're unlucky yada yada yada and go on tilt, not to mention that online pok

yet a person who tilts easily will probably have a hard time winning anyway because of either the bad beats fish put on him or the times he/she gets outplayed by a better player could both put this person on tilt, as well as dry spells. It says nothing about the validity of the statement.

People who say this isn't interesting are somehow interested in saying how disenterested they are. All of you are on tilt, except for the original poster, who is understandably very interested in this topic. Good luck, and I will see you on tv soon.

Say that to Negreanu and his 74

Holdem is a post flop game. Profitability differences mainly comes from playing better than your opponent after the flop, since if you don't get to see the flop, then the probability of a hand winning after the river means nothing. A saved bet here a maximized profit there is not from the starting hand but from the player. I think this shows that the hands are ranked by ease of play more than profitability.

I don't know about only ranking on profit. I think it has to do with decisions as well. It's easy to play high pairs, and it's easy to play high connectors. Therefore it is easy to make money with them. Its much more difficult to play small pairs and small connectors. Sklansky says in Hold em for advanced players that the rankings actually will change depending on the situation, which would imply either or both of two things:A) The ease of playing a certain hand changes depending on how many people and who are in the pot.B) The profitability of a hand changes depending on how many peopl

JT suited will outperform QT suited against 77 in an all in situation heads up.Although it makes straights in which 77 hits its set, It also makes more straights than QT does, and just because the sevens hit their set, it doesnt' mean the board will pair. A straight on the river always beats a set on the river, barring folding. A Jack high straight on the flop is a 65% favorite against the set the 77 made.On Card player, the JT ends up with a .5% advantage over QT in this kind of event.Limit poker small pairs are not something that will lose money in the long run if you know that your odds o

I don't know what copies of Advanced holdem everyone has, but there is a section in the millenium edition dealing with a generally loose game. The things in there have helped me plenty in the small stakes, and I know for sure that some of the things that are in small stakes holdem are in this section, though I don't know how many.

Of course you can't see the cards of the other players, but you have to go by what you think they would do. If they would push with a pair smaller than 10s or even 5s then you would increasingly consider AQ on down to JT suited. This consideration has to do with the desparation of the player based on chip stack, tiltability, previous play, and of course, position. Also, if you are average, and the pusher is average, you still have to consider more variables. When is the next level? Are you likely to stay average for a while, or will you go down quickly just because of the quickness of th
