| I have been reading and re-reading Dan
Harrington`s book for the past couple of weeks. After a dismal week of
poker. I sat down and wrote down a few rules before playing this tournament:
1. Limit limping in with marginal hands to late position, and only a limited
number of times
2. If I missed the flop, only make a continuation bet if I am sure the
remaining players are weak and relatively sure that the flop did not help
them. Else check and fold if there is a bet that seems convincing enough.
3. Respect all bets and talk myself out of believing a bet is a bluff.
In other words, get back to the tight game, don`t chase unlikely draws,
and play the pot odds properly.
It worked a dream. I have about 14000 chips with two other players left.
Again, projecting a strong table image early on seems so important. I
completely dominated heads up when realizing how week my opponents was. |
