Hi PCers and particularly those "dressing" for the freeroll at 3D tonight in just a couple hours or so!
I just wanted to take a minute to encourage you and to go over a few very important points with you, as your coach.
Remember in particular not to let your playing be influenced by the size of the pot. Good poker playing will always be the same, no matter the pot!
Also, put every hand you have played behind you, and start all over with each new hand as if it were the beginning.
Let no one intimidate you because you have already discovered you are GOOD!
Remember that not many good players bluff very often, but you will find it hard to win if you don't bluff once in a while. Pick your times carefully!
Study every player at your table and try to find patterns in how they play.
Remember that the number one mistake made by ALL poker players is not folding often enough!
Remember that a hand not played is a hand not lost.
Remember that an Ace is nothing more than high card unless you get something on the board to match it up with. I never bet or call with an Ace unless my other hole card is 5 or above.
Don't overlook the possibility of a straight or a flush.......by you OR by another player.
With 4 of a kind -- bet the farm and your body on it! Toss in your spouse and kids!
With a full house -- bet the farm and HALF your family!
Anything under the last two -- be cautious in your betting and NEVER go all in with it.
Most of all, KEEP YOUR CONFIDENCE HIGH because we all know by now that YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES!
Stay relaxed, after you have prepared well, including stocking your computer area with everything you might need, including plenty non-alcololic drinks! < BEFORE tourney time!
If you have any questions between now and tourney time, be sure to ask me!!!!! I will answer right away ..... up to about 15 minutes before the game.
I'm not at all worried about how you will do!
Your coach and PokerGuru |

You are more than welcome, MVP Beckie!
Thank goodness I know that YOU know not to take the advice of someone who depends entirely on LUCK to win!
Who keeps betting and betting with NOTHING, just hoping luck will bring him the card he needs, after his "big betting" has "chased out" the "weaker" players!
Words of a simpleton who has memorized a list of fancy poker terms that won't do a bit of good at the tables, as you know.
Sure, once in a while, Luck WILL be good to a simpleton (with OUR luck, it will be tonight) but over the the long run, it is skill and knowledge that counts....and that's ALL!
Glad you have learned your lessons well enough not to be confused ans SO glad you know 100% more now than you did 5 months ago. Ancient history! LOL!
You're a damn good player, Beckie, and don't worry if once in a while you have a bad night. We ALL do!
Your Guru |
