I was comsidering rereading this before goin to see the woman later tonight but I think I'll just go straight ahead and make the attempt to take her to "valuetown"..

I might also work on the "backdoor aggression" but she's really not such a big fan

This was by far the most difficult concept for me to understand. I spent the greater part of a year worrying about how loose and aggressive I could play, and checking the size of my dick every time I showed a bluff.

haha glad im not the only one.

As everyone else said, i really like the backdoor aggression stuff. Good read for sure.

Can't wait to see you start running NORMAL for once!

My favorite part of this and biggest thing that you take take away from this article is the concept of upfront and backdoor agression. This is something ive thought about a little but not enough, but its a pretty integral concept you really dont see in any books, that these 2 must be balanced especially when you come into high stakes no limit. In addition i notice myself (being a tournament player) that most poeple overuse the former and not enough of the latter since they are used to tournaments and only re raising preflop and maybe having a barrel for the flop. I was one of the people who did this and its a flaw im working on, being to agressive upfront and not being agressive enough in the back or vice versa. The people who master in this "backdoor agression" are the people we hate playing with because they can put us in sick spots with one pair on the river, and the two people that come to mind are straate and pooruser.

The spot is never sick as long as you always click call

pretty good post AE. Some people are giving you **** cause they thinkg it is out of order, but you pretty much wrote it in order and so far a lot of it is reminiscent of my short poker career.

I especially like number 4. This is one I need a ton of work on. I used to be a very good high school athlete and since Ive gotten to school all I do is drink, smoke and play poker(usually not all at the same time

4 is incredibly tough for me. poker has become an obsession for me over the past couple years and its something i def need some help on. i will try to improve this in 08 for sure, though (like everything), its easier said than done.

2 is a good point, and its something that i struggle with often, especially while running bad. its funny how much emotional stress there is in this game (which relates to 4).

nice post.

decent read, a bit jumbled, but despite that i'm sure it will provide clarity to some people. I can't tell whether your comment about me is a jab or a compliment.
