I Don’t Have Enough Discipline
Hi,
I’ve been into poker for quite some time now. As of the moment, I consider myself a good player. I believe I can be like a pro if I just work on some of my weak areas like discipline.
Most of the time, I play online. And because I don’t have much money I oftentimes play in 25 and 50 dollar NL tables. I heard your three stages and they sound really interesting to me. Well, I believe I’m in the third stage but I don’t have enough discipline. Almost every time I find myself falling in love with trash hands, suited connectors especially from bad position.
Now, I want to know if you have any advice for me. And about trash hands and one or two gap connectors, is it worth the risk to play such hands and possibly go on hoping to break someone and eventually build a table image?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Devrick
Devrick,
Trash hands should only be played cheaply, such as in the big blind or when there are multiple limpers and you are sure there will not be a raise. If you do not hit your hand strong on the flop, it is time to go. Chasing will just lose you more money.
As far as discipline, you need to go back to a tight strategy for a while. The only way to fix this is to develop a plan and stick to it. Being disciplined requires making correct choices and sticking with them.
