I have changed my approach to the game. I play a non standard, a non "book poker" anymore. It means, no raises anymore on the button, no automatic pilot cbets... I wanna play with my opponents now, see a lot of cheap flops, seeking for a fatal meeting with them. Why I changed my style is because I have noticed that the most of my opponents were pretty good preflop, and pretty good when noone have a hand. And when you play a standard game, you don't see a lot of flops, therefore the probability of a disastrous meeting is dramatically reduced. The poker which is told to you guys, is a poker which works well against the good players, because you protect your hands, anyone can take an edge over the other, it is like an nash equilibrium. The more your opponent is tough, the more you want to raise OTB, protect your hand, and so on. In fact, this way, you protect yourself, but on the other side, you force your opponents to play well too. But this approach isn't optimal at low stakes. Force them to make mistakes. Juts limp, see a flop, min raise, suck them to you. It's a sweet trade off : you accept to do mistakes early on the hand in order to benefit to their mistakes later in the hand. I think I often overvalued the part of maths in poker. The trade off you try to accomplish isn't gradable or quantifiable (I don't know which word is better, so I 've written both). It's still maths, but so deep that you have to count on your experience, and on the experience from the other rather than on equations. However, don't forget to try to steal some pots otherwise you'll be grinded down :).
I don't think it's hasard if the fact that I afresh have got positive results coordinates with my new approach.
Yesterday I was ahead 6-to-4, and ahead 4-to-3 today.
However, there is one con : my HUs are longer, which isn't that good for the hourly rate. But, I will bother with the hourly rate when I will win consistently. That's not the case, still.
Ok, I will play a bit less from now on, because I'm gonna leave for the we, and it will be school very soon. I hope to achieve the number of 40 or so hus per week, maybe 3 per day (circa one hour) the week and 12 per day the week end.
