Improving
MrBlack:
Hi folks. Just wondering what everyone has done to improve their game? Recently I feel like im very limited in my game, both live and online (yes ive dipped back into it again). Live, ive reached alot of final tables but usually with a shortstack due to one silly hand. But even with a decent stack, my endgame isnt all that good.
My online play though, is horrendous, literally useless. Im just wondering what I can do to improve, some reccommendations would be nice, and would also be cool to hear what other people have done with some obvious results.
Also, said tournaments are only £10 buy-ins

Firstly, welcome to the forum.
Your post is very vague tbh and could be paraphrased as...
How do you get good at Poker cos I"m not very good.
Some useful info so as people could address the key areas for you, how long are you playing? what games do you play? have you read any poker books, what style of play do you adopt?

This is a common statement from beginners (not saying you are a beginner btw) and usually results from not playing enough hands. The problem is that as you play more hands you open yourself up to getting in tough spots and making big mistakes in big pots.
Reading strategy HH"s on here and elsewhere and contributing to the debates is probably the single best method for learning and improving imho. GL with your endeavours.

what did i do to improve my game? hmmmm :)
for me, i"d spend vast amounts of time trying to discover spots/situations which are given to much credit where nobody would suspect i would be bluffing, so i"d just bluff a lot until somebody caught on. :)
the good players will be the ones to catch on to the fact what i am doing, so then its a simple matter of adjusting and cutting out the bluffing against them and doing it even more for value... but i i would still do it to the ones who would continue to fold for whatever reason, be it there style or there stubbornness to play by the book :)
likewise the opposite with value hands, i look for spots or lines of play that i could take where i wont be given much credit..
