I play Cash mostly now. Been playing since I was 16, properly since about 18. Started out on tourneys (as most do). Ended up learning and preferring cash games as it can be a lot faster paced amd I can bounce when I want lol.

Still play a little tourney from time to time but mostly home games. I hate sitting down in a big tourney for HOURS and then coming out just outside the money.

Catch me at Golden Nugget Casino moretime or Foxes occasionally (Havent been there in a hot minute. Run of bad beats)

I been playing a lot of small BI tournaments or freeroll ones to get a feel for the game, started out shit but right now im usually always coming out in the money, great improvement since i started.

 

next aim is final table woooooooo, might even hit up the casino for a live tourny, can imagine the drunkards that will probably be playing, just dont wanna jump on a cash game because i read the stack should be minimum 100 BB and my local casinos only play 2/5 and up, so jumping in with a monkey as a novice isnt gonna bring me much confidence when I lose my stack

 

practice practice practice, study and more pracitce.

went through a faze of hard poker graft last year sometime

 

while I became quite solid, poker started to become shit

 

haven't played in like 6 months now

 

bankroll did get healthy though

 

that first time on the final table of a 1000+ player tournament at like 4-5 morning when the tourney began at like 6pm >> 

 

felt dead afterwards though. was strangely similar to that feeling when the sun's coming up and you've been on a crazy one all night, on the dizzle.

What online sites are you guys playing on?

 

Due to logistics I don't really have the opportunity to play live games due to work and other commitments. I have hardly any practice in live games so i'm terrible in that environment. Online would suit me best.

 

I was playing on xbox live a lot at the start of the year just to get a feel for it and realised it was destroying the learning process. Despite reaching the finals or winning most tourneys i entered the amount of ridiculous play because of the play money was frustrating and a negative experience.

allow playing with play money, can never really feel the game. Im having to go on higher stakes tourney just because of the constant 'all-in' guys at the start of every tournament

 

they will go all in every hand. but guess what, if I follow them with KK and they have nothing, they hit a trip on the river

 

just playing now and every hand i much is hitting the flop, when i go inwards im not hitting nout

 

good example gonna come now with JJ

 

lets see if i hit the flop 8-)

 

dont use partypoker lol go on pokerstars or 888 or lockpoker really

You're right there's no much point in playing in those games

 

pokerstars the levels are quite good from very low stakes, so you can give that a go

 

but yea just deposit like £40, and start playing the deep-tack tourneys with cheaper buy-ins, but not the cheapest. Hit the cash-tables with low bb's as well to mix it up.

 

obviously have the basis helping you like holdem manager. 

 

also hit cash tables in proper boog sites across in next parts of the world and sweep up on noobs.

Used to play everyday for about 3-4 hours a day, I don't play online anymore. Everynow and then I'll got to someones house and duppy skin, I love Poker theory I used to just watch other players on TV and Youtube.

 

Wouldn't go back, Gamblers lose. Even the winners
