Message: [QUOTE="canbora, post: 6889575, member: 9538"] So, just focusing, lets say the past year. I've been a MTT player. Overall winning player. Main focus was PKO MTT's. I have more than a handful of first place wins as well as numbers final table finishes. And many ITM finishes. We can always do better and improve, but I felt i was, at least for the time being, good enough...and I wanted to improve my cash game. Because I'll admit, I at least "think" I was bad at it. I had no real numbers to back it up, but just as a guess, I may not have been as bad as I thought, but I'll bet ya I was a break even player (i only tracked my tournies, not cash). If you made me guess. I'd say I was dead in the middle. I dont consider this acceptable or good. So I've been doing a crap ton of cash training lately. Both GTOs and reading, watching pros, listening to people. The whole nine yards. i have to say I've learned A LOT and patched A LOT of holes and am continuing to do so. Even as much as patching several holes this week. Its just crazy, its the "same" game ... but its not lol. Crazy how the little nuances change from one style to the next. What I find frustrating is the crazy level of nittyness. I've regular played from 2NL, clear up to 100NL regularly. There are small differences as you go up but its at least 70%-ish the same. You dont have that crazy betting that pros do at 2/5 and above. Most of your pots are straight up theft. Its the only way you can get anywhere. Then if you see a maniac, yeah sure you can get a stack, and I have. But you're mostly just racking up micro pots. I've laid down A LOT of hands recently where I had something but they seemed too eager to go for it. And i've had to tolerate pulling in small pots with my monster hands. See thats the thing, this is how cash is different. You do WAY more. So I'm getting use to that too. If you're in a tourney and you hit a monster, theres a decent chance you're taking someone's stack, because you have to play like that. Cash, it doesnt work that way always. Matter of fact it seems rare, at least at lower stakes. ---------------------------- TLDR version: Trying to patch a current hole in my game where theres a non improved board to an over pair, like aces. Its all low cards, but...still there's that chance they have a gapped connector for the straight and they hit it. Or nail the random set. [/QUOTE]
