Hi guys.
I understand that calculating genuine pot odds can vary according to the type of player you are. Is this correct?

At times when I play poker, I feel like that guy on the beach who gets sand kicked in his face for no reason. It’s hard to admit, but I get bullied. If I didn’t enjoy the game so much, I’d have packed it in. Is there anything I can do to prevent being pushed about?

I don’t normally write to any kind of forum, but I am so cheesed off at a succession of “poker dopes” I seem to have run up against over the last few weeks that I had to ask whether I’m the only one who finds them frequently going all-in with absolute junk? What makes it even more annoying is the number of times one of them get lucky and hit their long shot hands! Is it just me or do others suffer the same fate?

I’ve been playing poker for two years. Eventually, I would like to play professionally and have been spending perhaps 20 hours a week playing low stakes limit Hold ‘em in order to examine the specific nuances of positional play. I recognise the role ego plays in poker, although perhaps I’m still mis-reading opponents, but then, I also appreciate that I’m not up against the world’s greatest players at these tables. Perhaps I should consider moving up a few levels to learn more?

I cannot complain about my recent poker play as I have been enjoying a great run, generally cashing, ie finishing in the top seven or eight players, but have yet to turn what I think is consistent play into winning play. I’m ahead of the game, money-wise, but feel I should be moving on and converting decent finishes into winning ones – or should I be content to keep getting into the money?

I’ve been playing poker for a few years now and consider myself a reasonable player, which is why I want to improve and start making some serious money from the game (I already do pretty well). Here’s my problem: whenever I land pocket jacks, I’m invariably tempted to act. Is there a definitive way of playing a pair of these smiling boys – at least I think they’re smiling?

I read recently (not here) that online poker players who call a raise a little too quickly are likely to be on a draw. Armed with this information, I re-raised an opponent I saw do this and duly ran straight into a monster hand. I ended up getting busted out of the tournament simply because I thought I had picked-up an online tell. What did I do wrong?

I’m a regular player at Littlewoods Poker with a regular online identity. I’m not a bad player either, but have noticed that a number of my, shall I say, more macho-named colleagues have recently appeared to be getting a little more action than me. Could this be down to my too-polite identity?

I’m an ok poker player who often lets his emotions get the better of him. I suspect I’d be a much better player if I didn’t go on tilt as frequently as I do whenever I’m on the receiving end of a bad beat. I know the old saying about keeping emotion out of the game, but it’s difficult: is there another way?

Recently, I took a really bad beat during an online tournament. I was just a couple of spots away from winning a package worth almost $8,000 and just can’t get over it. It has been bugging me for a few weeks now and I find myself thinking about what I did wrong all the time. Is this a normal reaction after getting so close to a major prize?
