Hello 2p2ers,

I consider myself as rec player and usually play on weekend only. I started play NLHE in October 2014 in Vegas. Since then, I’m addicted to Poker. I have logged about 1100 hours for 1/2, 1/3 and 2/5 games so far, but I’m still a losing poker player. I like to chase draw and gamble (I’m Asian :P). I can play solid poker for 8 hours and build a deep stack and then bluff them away in a couple hands.

The purpose for this thread is to remind myself play less spew and be discipline and I will post hands to get advice/opinion.

My poker goal for 2016:

-Break even poker player.

Good luck!! Think of poker as a business. Ask yourself when your drawing: is this a smart business decision? If your not getting correct odds to call then fold. Make smart business decisions. Never set mine unless stack sizes dictate that it's the right play. Winning poker players don't gamble. They get in on draws only when the equity is right compared to pot size. If you cannot be disciplined your wasting your time and $. Good luck
