I can't really speak for other pros but when I am playing my regular games it is mostly just a job, there is no thrill that I get out of it. I will sometimes play big tournaments or another format like PLO when it starts to feel too boring. I still have a deep passion for this game overall though.

When i lost a Hand, i wanted that Money back and tried it with loosing up and more Aggression. <br />And here i come to the worst advice for me (maybe it was a good advice for others, but it didn´t work with me). It´s called Tripple Threat.

I don...Hi Ernestas,<br /><br />Glad this article helped. <br /><br />I don't have an exact range for you but I agree with you that you should be calling a lot more often preflop when a fish is in the pot. You should do it with the widest range when you are in position. <br /><br />If the pot is multi-way with a reg involved as well, then once in awhile I will choose to just go for the light squeeze.BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-9231992132983591252018-02-26T19:02:50.600+07:002018-02-26T19:02:50.600+07:00Hey, Nathan.
