Confidence and on line Poker
February 2, 2008
So, you are sitting there at home, staring at a computer screen playing poker. It’s a “you against the world” type of situation. No one can see you, most people who you play against don’t even know anything about you. Table presence is dictated by your play, not your personality or attitude at the table. So why then, does confidence play a factor?
First, I should explain that I think it makes a BIG difference. Big enough, in my opinion, that it can make the difference between “being on top” or “being in a slump”.
First hand experience has shown me that when I am NOT playing confidently, I can go out 6th or 5th in a 6 man SNG. When I am playing confidently, I make the money about every time. That’s a big swing huh?
If I am not confident in myself, you could see how a few games could put me “in a slump”.
If I am confident, watch out!

Up Against Lowstacks and Other Stuff
February 1, 2008
Svcmgr has in his blog posted a topic that i do find important! I do believe it’s important to play to win and not to loose, there is a big difference between those two styles of strategy. It is also important to try and take out the lowstacks at the table as soon as possible with any 2 cards but there’s one aspect that’s not mentioned anywhere and you all recognice it, you all been there! It’s when you feel in all of your essence from the hairroots down to the toenails how wrong that hand feels, no matter what it is! You simply know that the hand will bust!
