Ways to Improve

You need to be more assertive with your best hands.

Practice thinking in terms of raising or folding, instead of calling. Calling is too comfortable for you.

You have a good sense of when you are beat, but make sure that you also know when "to call it down" when the pot gets large.

Sometimes, the pot is so big that you only need to win one in twenty hands to make a call worth while.

Generally, timid players can make very good poker players once they gain confidence and learn to raise and reraise. They have a natural sense of "impending danger" which most players lack.

A very good drill for a Timid player is to play a wild player heads-up. Pay attention to the fact that your folding and calling is what is costing you the most money. Bet and raise as much as possible.

Work on the Tilted Donkey's tutorials and pay attention to cases where the suggested play is to bet or raise.
