What have you learned...

I have learned...

not to value top pair as much as I used to
to fold AA, KK or QQ( whatever) when I know I'm beat (mostly )
to be more patient
that some people will play any 2 cards regardless of position (bless 'em)
that bad beats happen to good people
that all-in pre-flop is a crap shoot at best. Toss 'em in and pray
that I'm not as good as my press releases say I am
that I still have a lot to learn......

Railbirds Rule

Agressiveness, grrrrrrrr!!! Some people think i bluff alot, not true. I just bet to make u pay to outdraw me. I always hit the flop, even when i miss,

Excellent idea for a blog Astrogini. The railbird community has been a breath of fresh air for me. It has helped me more with my confidence than anything. Before coming here I played way to many hands in and out of position, absolutely not understanding position at all. Patience was never a problem with me, but sometimes I tighten up so much I squeak. This site and so many of the people here have taught me how to open my game up and switch gears.

There are people who will call a raise, re-raise and re-raise after a multiplayer hand and still think their hand is in front!

Or, alternatively, poker is rigged and even when you have quads on the flop you will still lose.

well astrogini what have I learned huh, well I have learned alot more patience in my game, I was always patient but have gotten even more so since joining railbirds, I have learned to be a lot tighter early on in MTT's, let all the donks knock each other out first then let my play and cards do the talking, I was never much of a trapper before but I've learned how to do that much better now, I have learned to fold when I am beat most of the time,lol, but not always, the one thing I need to get better at is not chasing sometimes, I dont do it often but probably 50% of the time I hit and the other 50% I lose alot of chips, well thats about it, there is probably more but cant think right now....

Bankroll Management!!!!

I have learned how to fold!! This is my most important tool in my poker arsenal

i guess i have learned how to evolve as a player......i know i still have a long way to go but i have only been playing for like 2-3 years so i know my knowledge will just continue to grow, just like railbirds. gl all.

Well I pretty much learned nearly everything here. I had just started playing real money from playing play chips prior when I began. I learned I knew nothing LOL. I basically watched the players in the freerolls that had high point rankings and tried to figure out how they got there and did my best to do the same.

Position. Position. Position.

And everything in topcats most excellent blog post a couple of weeks back.

Ive learnt quite a few new games, HA, lowball, Razz, prob wouldn;t have even tried them without some help from here!!!

Railbirds Rocks

I've learned that no matter what i do, I cant play every hand. I have to fold some hands.

I've learned too be patient, sometimes.LOL

I've learned Railbirds rock.

Ive learned That sometimes luck , just wins.

Ive learned i make more bad plays when i'm drinking bourbon.LOL

Ive learned to expect someone to go all in the first hand of every FR tournament,

Learned the donkey pen was left open a few months ago and they bred like rabbits.

1. Patience
2. Just because they are suited doesn't make them gold mines.
3. Position play
4. Don't over value top pair.
5. Fold AA on the flop if the flop is a bad one with 3 suits or 3 of a kind.
6. Stay away from preflop all ins unless I'm about blinded out.
7. If Felt Smasher sits down at my table in a play money game get up and leave. He is a play money pro that will not minimum raise.

I'VE LEARNED TO PLAY MY BEST POKER NO MATER WHAT THE STAKES!!!

Gini, I have learned that if you do your best to try to share what you know about the game in an effort to help the masses, there will be some narrowminded people who say you are a braggart, others who claim your advise is copied and pasted from other places, and some who try to discredit you in blogs. BUT, I have also found that those who your advise has helped to become profitable, send you the nicest PM's, thanking you for your efforts, and those PM's far outweigh the negative responses, the next time I sit down to write a blog !

The biggest thing I have learned here, is the fact that those who want to find help with their game will find it here, and those who think they know it all, always will ! I have never claimed to have all the answers, but at least I am willing to share what I know, and there are a whole lot more good players here that could do that too, if they just would !

....play on ...Tc....

LMAO Buttondog...
Ive learned patience more than anything, and that a small percentage of online players think about position, which can be an advantage to the ones that do.

Great blog Gini!!!

first buttondog... i named this account after feltsmasher, while talking to another bird about him. HE WAS MY NEMESIS.... lol he hated me.

i learned several new games as well. i never played Omaha or 2-7 triple draw until i signed up with railbirds. i also learned i think i am better at live poker but rarely have that opp. so here i am at the online tables.

ROFL Pike.

You have had some really great ideas on blogs lately. Please keep them up.

I have learned a lot about bankroll management.
I have learned that I too should play more aggressive in certain situations.
I have learned that 7-2 off suit wins every time! Hahahaha.
I have learned that I will get beat by luck and I will win by luck occasionally.

THANKS
