We’ve all had the thought. I’ll quit my job and play poker for a living. It will be great. I’ll sleep late, go play some cards and then party all night. Sounds good right? Just remember there are two sides to every story.
The alarm clock goes off. Half hung over you reach over and turn it off. Stumbling out of bed you stub your toe and curse your job. If only you didn’t have to wake up so early and trudge off to work everyday. In the shower you imagine the sweet life, being a professional poker player. You’d be on TV; people would recognize you and most of all you’d be rich. The shower ends and so does your fantasy. Off to work and another Monday morning greeted by traffic and your jerk boss.

This past month, a friend asked me for some Sit & Go advice. This friend, who I had met online through Full Tilt Poker, was basically there every step of the way as I moved up through the $5, $10, $20, $30, and $75 SNGs. She always listened when I felt like bitching about something, but more importantly, she lent a helping hand every time I faced a problem I had trouble solving on my own. Throughout all our discussions, she watched me grow and develop into a solid SNG player, and for that, I am grateful to her.
Anyway, the problem she has been having with SNGs (she plays the 45-player SNGs) is that she has been making the final table often, but she’s busted out on or near the bubble many times. Before this problem arose, she seemed to be enjoying success with these games, and I never heard a complaint from her during that time. That is why, when she came to me, I knew she was frustrated, and she desperately needed help.

I play a lot of Limit games on Full Tilt Poker, much more so than No Limit or Pot Limit. Among them is Limit Hold ‘em, which can be both very profitable, and very frustrating. One thing that I see from a lot of beginners is that they bring their No Limit strategy over into Limit, and then can’t understand why they are losing. Reason? Starting hands are much more important in Limit than in No Limit.

No one likes getting outdrawn, or losing with a hand initially favored as dictated by probability; however, such an occurrence is not always deserving of the liberally used ‘bad beat’ label. A crucial ingredient to a player’s improvement is his ability to accurately decipher whether the result of a hand was caused by bad luck or his own mistake.
It may be surprising that a real bad beat is not often experienced by any player, despite the incessant slew of sob stories (at any given time) which seemingly contradict such a statement.
