Was just reading a bit on pocket5s.com. People saying how they can't stand all the bad beats. They can't make money with all the donkeys around. (sounds a bit familiar)
Now the point of the article is that if you play long enough you should beat the variance, right? But these guys aren't newbies and are still mostly having trouble.(Again, very familiar) So, you play by the textbooks, by the odds, and you are still getting screwed? Have you looked at just how and why you are getting slammed? Not folding enough, not betting enough, playing out of position, calling when the scare cards hit, not calling often enough when the scare cards hit, and how ever else you are pissing off your chips. Well, it might be time to really look at where you are getting killed most often. Break down your hand histories and see. Hmmmm, bet, bet, bet, check and call when the river was the flush card. Wow, happened again. Get the idea. Time to say the books might not be right for playing donkeys, the numbers are only good for those that believe in them, and we all know donkeys can't count.
So, time to look at some HHs and see if I can find my worst donkey moments. Time to do a bit of cleaning.
