Frustration...

Don't worry, you can't rid of me that easy, just because I suck at poker and am not playing much doesn't mean I won't post like a fool around here. If that is good enough for RD it can't be that bad

. I kid, I kid.

Thanks for your words TP. WSOP sounds great, kick some ass and work out in your head what you need to work out.

Also, I don't know what is going on in your personal life and I don't really what to pry, but if it is an issue, go out and get laid. Tends to provide clarity.

Nah... personal life is fine. But thanks for the tip.

Ass Face, we are happy to welcome you and your fancy Liberace lab coat to the Dark Side. BTW, what is this "get laid" you speak of?

Ask boobie, he would know.

Clearly I was trying to sounds cool there.

I have read about it and can email you some pictures I found on the interweb that can explain better than words, although whenever I look at them I feel a little funny in my pants. A guy in the lab next door claims to have a girlfriend in the Niagara Falls area, but I am not sure if I believe him.

I'm a small time player, but I got to where I was playing everyday online and the weekends at different venues. I was floating above even most of the time and learning alot. But in March I decide to take a week break, well that week turn in to five. When I started back up I was fresh and started to see things in a different light. You know how you hear something from your wife a 1000 times tends to it looses meaning, but hearing that same advice from someone else opens your eyes. Thats what a break did for me, if that makes sense to anyone else.

I wouldn't necessarily call cash games online dead, but they are certainly not thriving anymore. It is this time that you are really seeing who plays well postflop, and who just follows some standard 2+2 or cardrunners preflop stats. The people that play better postflop are still going to win, but those tagfish are either going to have to table select much better or move far below their limits they are used to.

As for you TP, I would say that you play reasonably well and have a general solid feel, but you do have some leaks as to basic equity. I would suggest that you just set down a couple hours some time in the near future with pokerstove and pen and paper (or word if you prefer) and run some math as to hand ranges and such. That seems to help me and expand upon my knowledge if I am ever in a rut.

I guess you could say that NLHE is reaching the point where LHE was about a year ago. People are starting to realize what basic preflop stats equate to being a winner, and what stats are classified as being losers. It is now no longer just acceptable to play 22/18 and book 4 ptbb/100 like it was a year ago.

Or you could start to play PLO which seems to play like NLHE did 2 years ago.
