----------------------------------- OrangeCrush 08.07.2016, 18:13 July, 2016 Poker Thinking Contest ----------------------------------- July Poker Thinking Contest Presented by BowerCrush Waiting for Good Hands Especially at a full table, waiting for good starting hands has never hurt anyone. The fact is that bad poker hands are bad because they lose you money in the long run when you play them. Don’t start playing sub par hands because you’re bored. Don’t play trashy hands because you once won a huge pot with a particular trashy hand, and it is now you’re “lucky hand”. To put it simply, just consider folding bad hands as you making money. You are being payed in the long run by folding bad hands. It’s as if at the end of the year, someone went over your hands, saw the bad ones you folded, and payed you money. Playing bad hands pre flop will just make each and every other street in that hand that much harder to play and more expensive.

I'm sure it is still the biggest flaw in my game. The following excerpt, taken from your lesson above, is excellent advice for all players. "To put it simply, just consider folding bad hands as you making money. You are being payed in the long run by folding bad hands. It’s as if at the end of the year, someone went over your hands, saw the bad ones you folded, and payed you money." ----------------------------------- queenmap 12.07.2016, 21:33 ----------------------------------- I agree whole heartedly. I do my best not to play bad hands, but sometimes I will just to mix it up a bit. ( I get bored easily) LOL ----------------------------------- crzynana2001 13.07.2016, 17:05 ----------------------------------- Thanks, good advice! ----------------------------------- prissi74 24.07.2016, 02:17 ----------------------------------- Thanks for your post Bower !!!
