got no money

i have been thinking about poker all day.Thinking about how i should change my game.It keeps coming back to patience and discipline.The thing is,if you play a fixed way ,then you become predictable.You are either bluffed out easily,or you only win small pots most of the time,as everyone avoids you.The key is to play a regular tight-aggressive game,and mix it up with a few moves now and again.The skill is to get away from trouble litely ,if your moves dont come off.eg,if you slow play AA and get 4 callers .You are unlikely to win the pot if there are four others in the pot.Can you fold AA here.

By the way i have realised how important it is to play various forms of poker.It really improves your overall game.I normally play NLH.Recently i have been playing more pot limit Omaha.Omaha is a game that requires alot of discipline and routine folding of big preflop hands that miss the flop. eg:
your cards -AsAcKcQs
there are 4 players on the flop
flop- 4d5d7h9h
you got to passthis hand unless turn is almost free

If i can learn to pass such hands easily,it would be a great asset to bring to my usual NLH game

STATS

have you heard about the stats about how often men think about sex.You know the ones,men think of sex every 6seconds,or every 2mins........ Well,i swear i think about poker more than sex,although i partake in little of both.My lack of bankroll explains the lack of poker,and with my looks probably explains the lack of sex too.
