It is a very elementary way to solve your problem, and whatever you do don't tell anyone you are doing it because they will read you like a book, but set strict guidelines for yourself for each position at the table. Play ONLY certain cards from certain positions, and just as an example don't allow yourself to make a move unless you flop BETTER than top pair. The obvious downfall is that you have to have the will power to follow your own rules, and you miss out on some chances to take down pots; however, if you do this for about a month I think the habit of patience will set in. You may lose that month, but the long term benefits may be good for you. Hope you figure it out.

Home games
Interesting. I don't play home games often -- Seattle has plenty of card rooms for my B&M play. Home games are just with my buddies, and strictly for fun.
Anyone playing many home games? Do you have trouble taking them as seriously as casino/online play? |

My home games are a joke. I have me, my wife, brother in law, two or three buddies and sometimes their girlfriends. Everyone plays anything, and raising in general is frowned upon and could get you banned from the game, especially pre flop. No one can see the point if you haven't even seen the cards yet. Makes sense, right? My brother in law takes it ultra serious and keeps track of how many times he beats me because that is the only poker he ever plays. I just laugh, and when I get knocked out I go over to the computer and actually make some money. My buddies only will play for 5.00, so you might make 40 on a good night. Wow.

theres a few games i go to, but what i'm most worried about is the hard game. its a 10 dollar buy in with 10 people usually, and its a bunch of pretty skilled players. i usually finish 4th or so, but its always because i hit a wall.

hahah what kind of jackass home games do you guys play at? i play with a rotating group of about 30 guys at my school and we all take poker very seriously... if someone were to bitch about a check raise in my game the entire table would be gunning for them for the rest of the night
