Long time no post

A few Thought to ponder to start:

 

A professional performs, regardless of how they feel.

- unknown  (no tilting)

 

Stages to become a professional:

Unconscious  Incompetence

     Unaware of what to do, or why to do it.

Conscious Incompetence

     Awareness of the need for knowledge.

Conscious Competence

     Awareness of knowledge and proper application.

Unconscious Competence

     Application of knowledge by reflex.

 

A long written muse.

 

So, here's what has given me an awesome edge in No Limit every time, hell, I probably have his posted somewhere below:

 

NEVER CALL.  Preflop, Flop, Turn, Always Raise, and raise properly for a specific goal in mind:

 

Now here's the important part: If you can't raise to meet one of these three goals, then strongly consider folding.

Raise to prevent callers.

Raise to induce a call.

Raise to induce a raise.

 

Inducing a raise can give you information about your position in the hand.  Listen to that information.

 

Sometimes 'raising' to induce callers might mean calling in a early position to allow multiple callers.

 

Don't allow the game to become a 5 card game if you can end it before then.
