How I learned to play poker Became more deeply explore a very difficult visual concept of “tainted” (tainted, contaminated) cards, this card when I needed help to an opponent even more.
Slowly began to explore the relativity and the inconstancy of values strong combinations in specific situations, such as 2 pair of 3-stritovoy board with a set of opponents – it is almost zero, it is cheaper to throw. The same in early position a little top pair weak kicker, and many opponents, who with overcards still equalized with a check-raise on the flop. In this situation usually better fold.
Is faster to see the nature of the game and the eye on landing to quickly select a passive-uninhibited game (at Party in the Lobby is no column ‘% looking flop that probably for the better – has been the practice to evaluate the game “by eye”).
Increasingly realized that the whole game should be based on a comparison of chances to improve his hands on my rate and the bank, and it’s time to make it “air” my game.
Complex adaptation (not finished) to the ability to endure variations of the results. Ignore them, evaluate only the quality of the game and not lose it when the poor track record. Ability to forgive myself for what happened departures from ideal, but to return to this pursuit as soon as possible.

All of the above applies to the game in the Limit Holdem online at a full table, but with the exception of some parts may be attributed to other types of poker.

Skills that are slow and imperceptible:
Ability to concentrate on the game, not tiring of it and not noticing it, but without losing the essence of what is happening.
The ability to play long sessions (for me right now ok 3-4 hours, then break), first hour it was already pretty cool, although incidents of a long game and then, but rarely.
The ability to quickly read the board, to know what can stay in this board these opponents, always know the nuts, the second and third best hands.

Skills, which continue to grow:

The ability to track and resolve emotions. Ie not to transfer the experience of the last distribution to others. No good feelings or bad.
The ability to recognize situations and read / assume cards of the opponent (s).
The ability to continuously record notes on other players.

It is very important to regularly play one-on-one and in games to incomplete table. Pluses are:

Greatly helps to learn to understand the message opponents in the language render betting (betting patterns).
Education adequately super-aggressive way of playing and as a result of better understanding what to expect in the game at a full table of uninhibited, aggressive player, to assess its adequacy to deal with inadequate and adequate players.
Help not to get lost with a decrease in the number of opponents in the game for a full table.
Helps to be able to recognize good players and if there is no profitable around the characters, then finish.
If necessary, you can start a new table.

Dangers of playing the part table for your ability to play the full table:

Acquired looseness.
Become accustomed to aggressive play weak hands.
Secured a desire to play too many hands.

At this time I read books, read through all the articles of the electronic version of the magazine Card Player, and all sites that could find as well as forums
