Poker 101 explodes !
I had 2 students this time to 101, kind of just
1.5, as one was more observer than active
participant. And if i could have kept the orginal student
then i would have been prolly unable to cope, with
the rapid increase in demand. Student T, played
two single table tournaments, coming 2nd and 4th,
with the second one unfortunately experiencing
ghey internet connection issues. Good to see
that student T was thinking, coz she identified
the fact that when playing with a short stack
she seemed to have much better results. The reason
was quite simple, as the bets she made with a
larger stack just encouraged ppl to call, but
with a shorter stack, she often entered the pot
with a raise, and perhaps pushed all in on the
flop, hence the opposition were put to a decision,
and won a lot more pots without having to show
the best hand. NL poker is about being put to
a decision, else limit is probably your game !

Hi I am curious to know if there are different styles of games that you play ( Texas of course), if so are you able to know and identify each one of when you are playing.
I would think that sometimes it's an advatage to mix these gaming styles up and to try different styles, but what styles are there to play????
i.e. Broomcorning to the end, playing a solid game with only raises and calls with the top hands and folding with big hands to stay out of 3 and 4 ways, playing all your suited connectors for the first 2 levels including your A and K flushing hands, calling raises on the button if you are the only one in the hand to steal from the raiser, calling an all in with 10 in the game with only ace high.
Can you comment, or does this need an entire section to itself???
