I think you really under estimate your play, so hopefully you will give a good account of yourself against Nade and it will be a great learning experience for the two of you :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always known Gaf is a good player from lots of past experiences but having played HU for 300hands i'm now pretty certain Gaf self-deprecates for comfort but he 100% knows he's better than his created PL persona. He's extremely confident in his game and as a person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely sure what that means :unsure I've always known Gaf is a good player from lots of past experiences but having played HU for 300hands i'm now pretty certain Gaf self-deprecates for comfort but he 100% knows he's better than his created PL persona. He's extremely confident in his game and as a person. It's strange, but I think you're so far off the mark in that. I absolutely genuinely 100% believe that my poker is [significantly] worse than most on PL believe. I could qualify that a little by saying that I believe the poker skills of most on PL [and indeed the wider poker world] are significantly worse than they believe - so maybe I'm "claiming superiority" in a way in knowing areas of my weaknesses, rather than fooling myself that they're not there :unsure (I feel that there's a Donald Rumsfeld quote in here somewhere :tongue2). As far as wider self confidence is concerned - I suppose it's similar. There are certain skills I've got which I view as "excellent" and where I have total confidence in my abilities. I do however have significant weaknesses where I know I'm pretty incompetent (dont we all?). Put them together, and if you knew me, you definitely wouldn't descirbe me as a "self confident" person. With regards to "self depreciating for comfort" - if there is any element to that, I would say it's for the total opposite reason than you describe - to lower expectations, because I couldn't possibly live up to my created persona on PL!! You're building my play up a bit here, but I got the impression from the other thread that you'd thought I'd played pretty badly. I just went back to get a quote from you to highlight that, but couldnt find something I was sure you said. Did you edit your comments? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Re: 2011 Heads Up Cash: March All In EV $277.22 from 742 Hands No i haven't edited anything, i said 2/3 times in that thread i played bad, not you. I said you did some things that i thought were strange to me but i said you owned me so they work. It's so obvious to me you're 100% confident in your game so i'm tired of your PL persona of 'poor me'. PL will have to trust me on that - i've played thousands upon thousands of players. You do seemingly have a mental block somewhere - i said to someone a couple of months ago you could beat 100nl+ if you wanted for years but just something was stopping you, you need to cure that thought process whatever it is. I'm not fussed if i lose, it's a format i don't play against a good player and there will be things to take from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really struggling on my volume and Education goals for the month now - serious risk of not managing to hit either. I'll try and recover volume to an extent this weekend. For education, later in the month I might try and find other PLrs to play sessions against (session lengths unimportant - but I need 1200 hands total to reach my goal - doesnt all have to be against one opponent - only requirement is an exchange of hand history files afterwards) 12/03/2011 08:1736.6%Month Completed492.8116.4%FPP Volume Completed$489.8549.0%All In EV Profit Achieved342.9%Education Completed I have also been feeling pretty tired and drained the last few evenings when playing - so going to try a session NOW - expecting the opponents to be a bit tougher at this time of day, but hopefully this will be countered to an extent by me being far more awake and alert.

I know you said that you had zero intentions of moving up' date=' is that still the case?[/quote'] Bankroll isn't my problem/worry - I just dont feel I know what I am/should be doing most of the time (which I Know is absurd given these results!!) I said I had zero intention of moving up, this month, as a panic response to being behind on my volume goal (and at the time, profit goal). That still stands. I find it probable that my next set of goals, for April, will include at least a dabble at a higher stakes. My overall results for the year, on HU, on Pokerstars at NL50 are: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Even I, with lack of confidence, wouldn't really attempt to argue with those results. I didn't really adjust - I think I've just got lucky in that my natural game is suited to it. I've never consistently beat 6max or Full Ring in the way I'm beating HU - wish I'd tried it properly sooner :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 3rd month in a row you have made a good profit, there has to be some skill there or everyone would be doing this :ok. You appear to be making more each month as you go as well, which indicates that you are also learning and the education is helping. Instead of moving up, how about a trial with 2 tables? You are used to playing more than 1 in other formats and I can't imagine that adding a table will have a significant impact on your results. Good luck for the rest of the month.

You are used to playing more than 1 in other formats and I can't imagine that adding a table will have a significant impact on your results. Yes I was toying with that option. I havent tried it yet, so could be wrong, but the impression I have is that I will find it tough - my edge, I view, is in understanding my opponent, and then working out how best to counter the way that they are playing - so adjusting, and constantly readjusting. I feel that if I am playing 2 different opponents, then I wont be able to do that. Though I may still give it a try :ok (maybe I can give that one a try this month - to boost my volume ;) - if I can just build up a bit of a buffer first ;)). If I get my all in ev to 1200, then I might give it a try :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
