Do YOU want help?

Often times we all talk about how we'd like to improve this area or that area in our poker game, yet finding the help and information isn't always possible or there's not a lot of it out there for us. We all know that each and every one of us have our own style of play, our own method and logic to our madness, but we're all here to learn, better ourselves, and to help others. So, I would like to pose the following to each and every one of you:
What areas of your game(s) do you want to improve the most, and why?
Let's get open this blog for topics so that we, as a community, can help each other out and discuss what we all are interested in.
After this is up about a week, I will post some of those topics that people need help with, starting with the most popular ones. Then each week I'll post a blog on one of those topics to encourage everyone to talk about that specific topic.
So, put your thinking caps on and let's get this started!

I would like help with my late game.
Often times I find myself not wanting to be too risky when it comes to a certain point, which in the long run hurts.
How to get over the hump at the Bubble!!!!
Many times I find myself with a smaller than average stack as the bubble approaches. A lot of people say 'tighten up and play only premium hands'. OK.....but what do I do when those premium hands don't materialize? Other people say 'loosen up and get aggressive'. Sure......but you still need cards, don't you?
This is the area where I want to improve my game.
position play and bets. Always an area we could use improving .(well, at least me! lol)
Good luck on the tables!
no joke.. it's all good !
lmao.. gl players
What do I need help with? Well that's easy it's middle tournament play mentally.
I've read all the articles on it yet every time I tighten up and just don't make the plays I should. Such a horrible habit.
Bingo poker kills me!
Oh My reading over the above..........I think I need it all.
Ty Gini this is a great idea. I know there are many blogs on these and they are great but refreshers are so good too! Thanks
xjd66x,
I agree with you. I went out and bought the books and I can skim through them from time to time, but I can't read them cover to cover like some people (who seem to be able to quote a chapter for every situation and yet I never see them cash in any tournaments). It's too dry and boring for my taste and I fall asleep.
I want to be able to post something like this:
I have J-7 suited in the small blind at a single table sit n go with 5 players left and I sit 3rd in chips. The short stack is BB and the chip leader limped UTG. What is my bet play? And why?
And I don't want someone to tell me to go read Mike the Mouth's new book 'DONK PLAY'.
That's the reason for Gini's blog here. To gather topics of interest and discuss them in later blogs. Great idea, Gini. And I hope we get enough topics to interest everyone.
Also, interested in discussions on Omaha hi/lo.
I can read blog after blog after blog, but to read someone's book just drives me insane.
I too hope that we can get enough topics to discuss and that everyone gets involved. WE together can help each other out, after all.. that's what friends are for!
Great blog Gini. I will be more than happy to provide assistance to anyone interested. While I have limited experience and primarily play $5 SNGs, I have had pretty consistent success.
...here is to finishing in the money...Manny aka holdnamonster
I am, at most times, over aggressive post flop after I take control pre flop (raise, reraise)...walking right into traps...I am not afraid to fold any hand..just don't give myself a chance to do so!!!
