So when do I get a chance to sit in and watch? Eddie talks a good game about washing my back, so why do I still feel so dirty. If people are so bad at this double up, I want in, even if NLHE is the only game in town.

When Eddie was playing on the big tables and he was on the phone with me, he would think out loud. He has very good betting strategy. Sometimes it back fires though

Big tables, like what we talking here? $20? Maybe you shouldn't say so here. lol I love hearing another person's thinking, especially when they usually win. You don't put your own brain to sleep, but you get a feel about what table image he had presented, why others react the way they do, and how you miss opportunities (and how many) that he capitalized on. Not to mention how it backfires.
In the end, no 2 people are alike, nor 2 tables. I may never have the guts to play to his degree of aggressiveness, but always interesting to learn. To see the results of some else's actions, no matter how they turn out - and most importantly, their thought processes during play.

Last tournament I played, I had some jackoff kept going all in with terrible cards. Kept getting lucky. Cleaned me out. Said he was doing that cause he had to go pick up his girl. That's the kind of shit that makes me not wanna play any games unless they are high stakes. What he should have done, is simply hit sit out, and walked away. Instead, he changed the entire tournament upside down with his donkey moves. Put a bad taste in my mouth. Haven't played since.

Craig watched me playing on sit & go cash tables. $300 needed to just sit down. I jumped around on a few different ones...$5/10blinds, $10/20blinds, etc...etc.. There is a way to monitor what table is averaging the biggest pots each hand. I made sure those were the tables I stayed on. You would have shit yourself at what some of those pots were for each hand. Every hand there was hundreds of dollars in each pot. Next time I play, I'll give you a hollar

Ya call Dive next time. And Dive just listen and watch. He has a very interesting betting style. And you know what he has because he tells you. Be ready to have your phone plugged in though.
But when he gets up by a lot, tell him Craig said to cash out and start over. haha he gets crazy. Imagine that. LOL

You saw me, up over about 1500 bucks, shoulda been enough...right? WRONG If I can ever tame that part of my game, I could make some real money.

I'm a firm believer that luck goes in streaks. Has happened all my gambling life. Sometimes I can't pick a horse for the life of me and sometimes I get on a roll and can't lose. Same with when I used to play craps (a lot) Now same with poker. Skill is a big part to put yourself in position to capitalize when things go your way. But luck is also a must. You have to learn to recognize when the tide is turning.
When I used to play craps (I don't anymore because they don't have any near here) I would bet very little while not getting the rolls. As soon as I got on a roll so to speak I would up my bets. Then when I would cool off I would pull out.

You make a good point though.
