ive played you a few times but cant remember without looking at your notes im sure it says EASY MONEY but i cant be certain i did this type of thread a while back and asked what players thought my style was like. Didnt really get much info from it to be fair just that i was a tight agressive donk.
Thing is Lamby ppl aren't just going to volunteer their reads on you.
Surely you must have an idea, if ppl are calling you down to light eg. regs then maybe your playing too many hands. if your getting 3 bet alot then maybe your too passive. Just examples but the only way you will get a genuine opinion is through talking online poker friends and them watching or playing against you.
I think you are a terrific qrganiiser You have a true passion for the game You have genuine committment to becoming the best you can possibly be You have a beautiful and supportive girlfriend You understand the key areas required for sensible BRM
But
The sheer number of posts (2443 works out to more than three a day without having weekends off) you initiate gives the impression you are vain and consider yourself to be better than you actually are at the minute. They also set yourself up as a target. On the few occasions i've played on the same table/railed MTT's your actions have been predictable and similar to information given away from your threads. A solid player doesn't need to ask what people think of them they simply review their played hands and analyse where they did well and where they did badly! establishing whether the outcome was down to good/bad play or simply variance.
I just wish you'd concentrate on playing your game rather than writing about it and that like Evil Pingu the next thread I read is Lambert binks Main Event rather than Lambert bubbles again!
Thank you Cleansweep for being the only person who has actually made a serious reply to this. You make some very valid points even if it isn't necessarily actually about my image.
I was discussing with my beautiful and supportive girlfriend about how (with the exception of 865 and the clinic) I'm pretty much 100% self taught. I've only ever read 3 poker books, which have all been bought for me... one was a limit hold em book which might aswell be a completely different game, gus hansen's book which was interesting but not hugely helpful and one that was solely about the maths of poker and game theory. So thought it can't do any harm to read a book that gives more specifically about MTT strategy like a Harrington book, see if I'm along the right lines. But yeah I think I'm gonna take your advice, so I'll be quieter than normal on the forum for a bit and spend that time analysing my hands. I'm gonna start trying to satellite into Cardiff so many the next thread you will read will be me binking an SPT
Disclaimer: I do have one thing I wanted to suggest to Sky so I'll post that now and that'll be my last for a bit.
@ DONK - I don't know why you're advertising lol, everyone will either not be on the forum and not read it, or be on the forum (and not be stupid) and not believe you. And why would you even want/need to be 'table captain' at micro stakes cash?

Having re read my comments I feel I was a little harsh. I don't think you should stop posting! A lot of your posts make for good reading! I'm saying maybe you should think carefully about the content! The good players on here are better because they have an edge and are astute enough to pick up on tells that the majority of us possibly wouldn't consider. If you freely put your hands on display for all to see prettty soon patterns emerge and that is where your opponents gain their edge over you. There is no harm in posting your preflop cards but instead of showing what you did so often just ask the question what others would have done. Then you can choose the advice that's appropriate for you.
My comments were not meant to dishearten you! I seriously hope you gain the rewards for the committment you give to the game. I just hope you think more about the information you give away about yourself when you post.
