For the last week or so since my schedule dosent allow me to play, I've been doing some reading and mentally preparing myself for a week of non stop poker action coming up when I leave for vegas. At first all I could find was hellmuth "play poker like a pro" but after some long searches I finally found skalansky small stakes holdem in my garage last week. I've read it through once last week and right now I've been concentrating a lot on per flop plays and flop plays. I know my biggest problem right now is my preflop play. I've got the "SAG" blood in me so a lot of cards looks good to me to play. But right now I'm really starting to understand proper cards and position of what to play. In vegas I got to step up my game. Even though I'm planning to play either 6/12 or 10/20 hold em mainly or 8/16 if they have it, I don't want to be the fish on the table. At the creek I'm usually the tag of the table unless the santi or Tony is at my table then they usually a lot more aggressive than me for some reason. But now I'm entering vegas when its the wsop happening and there's gonna be a lot of players there. And the worst thing that I want is to be painted the fish at the table when I want to be the shark.
Well hopefully all my reading isn't for nothing. I plan to play either sat night or sun before I leave for my poker extravaganza.
So hopefully I learned from my reading and imporove on 3 of my greatest weakness.
-selecting proper playing cards to play
-know my position and not limp in with crap cards.
-Raise or fold should be my main options preflop.
