Btw, I became Young Seal recently, congratulate me, guys



For those of you who don't know - it's quite an achievement



Overall, I like this site very much. Playing there 2-3 times per week at least. And chatting with other players during the game is fun too, or even just reading how others chat.

The young seal from the screenshot shows that from now, you will have double benefits than many other users at SwCPoker site. I congratulate you for achieving this seal with several benefits for yourself with bets on the site in future.

Would you mind sharing how long have you been with bets at SwCPoker and how actively you have been with bets there, in order to be eligible for this Young seal, please.

This information is important and stimulating for other users to get what you already had now by having doubled rake back than lower seals.

While there are free rolls, we have to enjoy them. I think that the essence of it is to get us prepared for the paid ones. And we can still join both of them, whichever we think we're good at. Since it's not going to cost us nothing, it's best for those who have patience issues to practice there.

Your comment is correct but we cannot be patient all the time. Because patience is broken for many reasons. If you don't get good cards, your patience will automatically decrease. I have read many times in such situations and tried to keep myself calm but could not. Since winning the tournament requires a lot of strategy as well as patience, it is right. I notice one reason, if I get good cards. Then there is no need for patience, time will pass automatically and chances of winning are very high. But freerolls are a good way to practice patience.

It lies with the person and even good or bad cards you have, with patience, you can control the situation. And when emotions get involved, that's what you're saying that the patience decreases. I've been there as well that no matter how hard I try to maintain m peace and patience, the time has come that I have to lose it and it has changed my mood. With the participation of all these tables, it's not only for that thing but also for possible strategies that you can come up with.

True that, I participate in them free rolls on SwCPoker, I bet we've met several times. It doesn't matter for me that the prize pool is so small, if I finish ITM - I'm happy. Btw, I became Young Seal recently, congratulate me, guys

Yes, maybe I met you at a table, I don't remember exactly or I didn't notice. Good to see you can get to young seal so quickly. congratulations to you Although the prize money in each freeroll is very small, but it is very nice if everyone can play the tournament together from our forum. Hope to see you again very soon.

I believe, patience can change everything. At some moments it is very difficult for emotions to be controlled, and the situation is not under one's control. But I am trying to make myself more patient because patience is the most valuable in tournament. If the card is good, then your confidence increases many times.

Good poker is, above all else, about discipline. Patience is part of that - 89o does not become a good hand just because you were dealt garbage for an hour. While there will be situations where you become short stacked and are forced to make moves with marginal hands, most of the time it is about playing position, +EV starting hands, and recognising where you *can* make a move with any two.
Watch what the successful players do and the situations when they make moves. Punish bad play, attack weakness, and avoid good players as much as you can. If you notice someone is limp-folding a lot, attack them with any two in position. If a player likes to limp-reraise with big cards, call behind when you have a hand that can crack big cards.
Tournament poker is *not* about winning lots of all ins, or waiting for big cards and hoping. It's about stealing blinds and limps, and chipping up *without* putting your tourney life on the line as much as possible. Later when blinds are big, most ppl play way too passively - if you can steal one blind per orbit you'll be surprised how fast that adds up.

You will go far if you've got that patience and that's why even I, sometimes I find myself out of it and then ending up with the last place. But all of us will learn that and we know how to react when someone on the table is also good, it's a challenge. And you shouldn't be intimidated with those who always all in and want to test your patience because if you bite that bait that they're doing, you're done and you'll be out early in the tournament.

A lot of true points. Cash game wise I am doing ok since you can stop whenever you want. Tournament wise I can lose focus real quick when certain things happen, something like a setup, bad beat or what not. Occasionally you play 3 hours of great poker and then one little thing can rattle you so hard, it all goes down from that point. I mean I have no problem losing against a good play or a superior hand but when I see some idiot play and the other person gets super lucky I can lose total interest in the tournament out of the sudden. Guess I am just not made for those long games.

I think one reason why cash players often struggle - or dislike - tournaments is the shift in mindset regarding expectations. A good cash player will win the majority of sessions they play over time. So a winning session is the 'norm'. Tourneys are different. The shift to accepting that you *will* lose many more times than you cash in tourneys, when you are used to winning most sessions, is a big psychological step for a lot of players. The variance in tourneys is disgusting, too, so that can also play havoc with your head when winning steadily is what you are used to. Just my opinion.

I think your opinion is absolutely correct. Personally, I've found that you shouldn't enter cash games if you've just been eliminated from a tournament, or recently. This can leave you psychologically unstable. In cash games, you'll become overly aggressive and impatient. At least that's what I've experienced. I don't know if others have had the same experience. Tournaments can also train your patience, as long as you don't focus too much on winning the tournament itself, but instead focus on how patient you are at the tables.
Because in my opinion, the biggest loss for a poker player is not because of his bad luck in getting bad cards, but when he is unable to patiently wait for good cards.

You definitely got a point with this one, never easy to shift between those 2 games. But yeah, a good mindset always helps of course so when you can flip the switch then you gonna have a hard time.
I took a long break from poker but maybe some time soon I will give it a shot again. Sometimes I just don't feel like it.

Honestly, I personally find tournaments much more difficult than cash games. Perhaps it's because I'm not used to them. However, one thing I've noticed about tournaments is the addictive effect and the feeling of being challenged when we lose quickly. We want to make up for it in another tournament. I also become impatient when playing in tournaments, unlike in cash games, where I can exercise more restraint. But I started to like tournaments.

I prefer tournaments but even if they are quite difficult, I am not looking at the difficulty but the enjoyment that it brings me. The goal of aiming to win the tournament and as long as it's a good run, that gives satisfaction to myself. I haven't gone through the cash games and I forget it every time I check the tournaments that I am interested to join in. But yes, tournaments are addictive and that's why more people flock in, free or not, there's always those players that have the same interest as us.

It lies with the person and even good or bad cards you have, with patience, you can control the situation. And when emotions get involved, that's what you're saying that the patience decreases.

With the participation of all these tables, it's not only for that thing but also for possible strategies that you can come up with.

Perhaps the situation would be different. When you get a good hand, your confidence increases, leading to uncontrolled emotions that lead you to raise, leading you to lose in a hopeful situation. Maintaining patient self-control is quite difficult in gambling, as winning is what allows you to control yourself.

Even in poker or other games, If you can't control yourself, you'll quickly lose. Sometimes other players are just baiting you by following your flow, But behind that, they have strong cards that can beat you. Therefore, don't make your strategy easy for other players to predict. Just control your emotions and maintain patience, you'll have a chance to win.

I've experienced that many times with other players in the table and even I, I did this to some of them. It's true that if we have patience, we could rake more from the others by trying to increase a little by little with the raise that we can do. But others are just wise that when they've noticed you do that, they're automatically going to fold whenever you do it. So, in their minds, it's both that you do, you bluff and you have good hands.

Tournaments are more difficult because there are many players involved. And it's a matter of time, so maybe you don't feel well. Moreover, in the case of cash games, a certain amount of players participate. That's why every hand ends very quickly. Since it is to play with real money. So there will be most of the attention here. But I disagree with one of your points. Because people will never get addicted to playing extra tournaments. I can say for myself, I'm getting pretty impatient with tournaments now. So don't want to play too many tournaments. But it's a fun place to hang out.

I sometimes use this strategy when I've been dealt bad cards for too long. I pretend to have good hands by constantly raising the bet and all in. If I'm lucky, everyone will fold. But if I'm unlucky, someone will do the same and go all-in. This is sometimes why I lose tournaments, when I lose my patience due to being dealt bad cards too often, even over many consecutive rounds. 
I usually do this when I'm in a bad mood. However, when I'm in a good mood, I'm usually quite patient.

Such strategies are really very effective. In the beginning these strategies should not be adopted because many times it is seen that after the first 3 card show, many people have pair or two pair. But when there is a competitor, then these strategies become quite effective. If a good card does not come, then you should not always raise first. However, after checking a few times, you should raise again. By doing this they will be very upset and confused, rivals will not understand anything. Moreover, when the card is bad several times in a row, everyone becomes impatient. Since the tournament takes a long time.

You guys use the word strategy, yet this is not what it is. This is when poker, a skill based game, become a straight up gamble, not more and not less. If you push over and over again with garbage, mathematically you will lose pretty soon, unless you get very lucky. Unless there are real ICM implications you will get called fairly quick, also considering some big stack might call you with a marginal hand that still might be better.
I know the feeling of being card dead, yet you have to pick your spots. For example only play your position, if you steal then do it from the button or the small blind. If you raise in early position and get faced with a reraise/allin or something like that it's likely you bust out.

[Kalaea]

How do you *steal* from the big blind?
