So you want to be a winning Player at Microstakes cash games full Ring Poker

First thing is
#1 Rule Dont tilt. If you get bad beat with your AA, or Top pair Top kicker and they have Ace rag catch two pair dont tilt. it just happens and somedays it keeps happening over and over and over.

#2 Rule Play good starting hands and play in position with less good starting hands. You can make monster hands and get paid off with 55 if you catch your set and they caught there ace for a pair.Let them do the betting on most streets..

#3 Rule Figure out why they are doing what they are doing?? Why do they keep raising me ?? are they working on a draw?? did they catch there draw?? If you raise flop and they call and you raise turn they reraise you. What do they have?? What can they have?? Should you fold?? Try to pinpoint them, next time you play them play your strong hand weak all the way to the river to showdown and see what they had and how they played it.

#4 Dont give back what you just won. It's so tempting to play a little looser once you just won a buy-in or two. But it's hard enough to win it so dont give it back so easy.

#5 If your on a losing streak start playing each session with a cap. Say if i lose 2 1/2 buy-ins in a .01 -.02 cash game and buy-in is $2.00 this session, i stop for an hour or a day after i lose $5.00 and no more than or whatever. Write down your bankroll and deduct 2 1/2 buy-ins ,thats the amount you stop at if your losing in that session. Once you stop go back and review the plays you lost money at. Was it bad beats??? could you get out of the situation cheaper?? Should you have folded that hand ??

#6 Review the top players in your game and stakes you play. Why are they winning all the time, review how they play hands. How aggresive they are or how tight??Whats there betting patterns and in what position..

I like this Qoute

"To be successful in poker, you don't have to be the best player in the world but you have to want to be the best."

Playing QQ .

I would have to say at a Full Ring table you get QQ preflop early pos and you raise the Blinds 3X - 4X . Then you get reraised ?? Wow now what ,shove on them ?? If they are shortstacked probally not a bad idea but if they are full stacked and not a supertight player like 11 vpip the best bet is call them and play postflop poker. Hopefully the K or A dont hit .And if they hit and they have JJ or less are they going to fire out on the flop?? Probally not .. you might be able to at least save most of your stack and get to showdown. you might even win the hand..But reshoving on them preflop typically is a bad choice. Because they will usually call with only a better hand KK,AA or AK ..
