like, beyond the occasional really bizarre situation...most decisions are pretty cut and dry. there usually is a right decision...and it's getting to the point where those decisions pretty much jump out at you. it's no longer fun. like an equation...plug and chug. *hint* work backwards. raise, call or fold. (or bet, check). process of elimination gets you to it, if you're too lazy to think of it the other way. ie 'what should you do?'. just think, 'what shouldn't i do?'.

if i could only learn how to accurately read when certain hands are being blocked, i'd be golden. or, at least, more golden. sometimes i count hands that can't possibly be true...just mathematically, or situationally. and it trips up my percentage points. i'd estimate i'm +- 5% on any given hand. how do i get it to like, you know, within 1%?

what's the point of it all? we're all just spiraling towards our deaths anyhow. that's why i open for 5xbb with k9. i like the way it hurts. please help?

I can't possibly imagine that most poker decisions are automatic when people play 24 tables.

Blows my mind. I thought every decision they made needed on the spot calculus.

**** me.

Idk what kind of games you play, but i highly doubt that EVERY decision is cut and dry. Review your HH and i bet you'll see more lines you could he taking in hands to increase your edge. If you feel your game is stagnant, try using different lines in those "obv" spots and see if you find better ways to exploit opponents. As long as all opponents don't play exactly the same (which is never the case), there will always deductive analysis to go through.

oh. i play live. not in the business of wasting away in front of a computer screen...plus i don't know how all that poker software works, programs that gives you all those % and whatnot. talk about automatic decisions then.

basically a bunch of bots. are you playing poker or just clicking when/how you're supposed to? for a paycheck?

better ways to make money. still, gotta eat i guess. can't hate. no hate. love all around.

yes, **** you.

I dont think I've ever been to a casino as comfy as my chair of front of the computer. But to each their own. You're not the only one who can't win online. And if all your live slam dunk decisions aren't leading to massive profit, then maybe you're just stuck in your ways and bound to lose forever lol.

In all seriousness, you're probably right. There's nothing more you can do to lose that money

^that's just dumb. try harder.

i live in wa st...so online is a no go plus i'm not "tech savvy" enough to set up those poker stat programs...
but you're right...probably couldn't win online. no patience. can't click, click, click->formula=win my way through it. i only liked it because it made the blood pump. check raising with what can't be more than 10% because i liked making stupid decisions.
i don't play live enough to have had massive profits.
just modest ones.

point of thread is...where to now? i feel like i've solved the game enough to win should i need to, against the average player.

what else is there to do? polish the skills, or move on to the next useless endevour? (keep in my, those that rely on poker to eat, that there is a right answer for you to my question...so be jerkish and see how fast you don't get all my monies...don't front like you hate me when in fact we fish pay your food because we get bored...you're welcome btw ) (fair trade really, i work and need to be entertained from time to time and ya'll do that for me...so dance for me my monkeys...i'll throw some cash your way if you dance for me...)

meanwhile we're on this ball, in the middle of nowhere, spinning, orbiting a fireball...

and then i die. wtf kind of life is this, really? could someone explain that one to me?

a bit better.

but the picture is a bit cliched.

maybe if i put a tenner on it you'll show some real commitment?

ah well, i'm bored now. these forums used to be fun. what happened?

no action here anymore.

see ya'll when i see ya'll.

in b4 tehdude is banned again.

Not all Donkeys play the same. There is still room for creativity.
