lol, very astute of you Nation. Yes I have adjusted my game, big style. One thing I have done is move away from cash tables. The swings were big and it really frustrated me. Since moving to STT's I am enjoying poker a lot more again.

One thing I wanted to do for ages (you may have seen in a post elsewhere) was look into playing Small Ball poker. I love Daniel Negreanu's playing style and he is my favourite player. Information on it though is very thin on the ground. Well I found it finally on YouTube (I think you posted the first video clip here too). I watched all the clips over and over, made notes, and started applying it to my game. It doesn't really work that well with cash games, but I am having a nice run in STT's. I had a good run on Full Tilt with it (though I haven't played there for a couple of weeks, I took a break) and it seems to be working on PKR at the moment.

I used to play mega tight and while this seemed to work to a degree on the cash tables, it failed miserably in STT's and tourneys. Since I changed my style, things are looking rosey.

It's by no means an easy fix though and I have certainly added my own slant on a few points. No one plays exactly the same as anyone else as far as I know. It's no good playing it blind and you still need to know when to make a move and when to fold. However, it does seem to confuse other players because I raise the same amount if I have J-10 suited or A-A. I also bet the flop exactly the same wether I have missed or if I have the nuts. I'm alot more aggressive on the flop than I used to be and this seems to pay off too.

So yes, I have adjusted my game and I am glad I did

And I didn't realise so many people played STT's on PKR. In the 9 games I have played in this little challenge, I have moved up over 1,000 places in the rankings, and that's just from $1 and $3 games. hehe
