Play less tables 1 or 2....takes copious amounts of notes....n concentrate when out of hands.....look for spots....be aware of your image and take advantage

Welcome Mr Black and hope you"re here for the longer term. I"d say post specific hands, ask specific questions and take it all on board. I"m sure i"m not alone in gaining many pieces of knowledge from the guys & gals on here, despite the fact I"ve admittedly disgreed sometimes. If you disgaree with a particular point or don"t understand what"s being said then question it, but don"t be too stubborn to try new approaches coz you believe one thing and they advise another. the likes of Noble, George2loose, Brendan et al will try to help you improve and like I said I"ve not always initially got my head round some of the advice, but i"ve been game enough to try the stuff out.

Figure out what you do wrong, identify the weaknesses and cut them out. Do you play too many hands? Do you call too often out of position? Do you know anything about the the people at your table? Position is vital, picking out the weaklings is vital, knowing when to dump a hand in bad shape is vital (not one of my strengths  ::) ) Finally......raggy aces can be occasionally lucrative but will often bust your chops  ;)

From my point of view:


* Keep Records, its too easy to have a too inflated or pessimistic outlook on ones abilities use Pokertracker etc for online and a smart phone app for live (Poker Journal on IPhone is my fav).

* Make notes - Unless you"ve got photographic memory keep even the most basic notes on your common adversaries

* BankRoll mgt - I know everyones eyes roll over but for me its the most important aspect of Poker! Clearly set yourself poker goals, pick the right levels of buy-in and analyse your records to figure out if its working and where"s next.

* Mix it up - Poker is a broad church, there are many games, formats and styles. For me just playing Holdem is just 1 dimensional, having an appreciation of other games and formats will make you a better holdem player IMO.

* Study, Read, Discuss - Just playing poker could be like teaching yourself to drive, how do you know if you"ve got bad habits as the variance of the game can hide demons.

* Play more poker! Get out there play in different venues, challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone once in a while!


Hope I dont sound too preachy, most importantly enjoy it, as if its not Fun then whats the point!

MrBlack:
