Hi All wonder if any of you kind people could offer any advice.Been playing since Sep 2006 mainly IPOKER and Pokerstars.Play upto $10 buyin usually.Started with holdem but now omaha aswell also some Horse.The problem is Icant seem to kick on and build a decent roll.I keep records of all games played and in last two years or so have not lost any many overall but the pro fit is small.An example I put $40 in Pokerstars in July 2007MY Roll has peaked at $210 and now hovers between $135 and $175.Prehaps my thinking has gone stale or something.I do study and think about the game pre haps to much?any response gratefully recieved.Thank you.

I"ve found the best way to make steady, if unspectacular, money is to play six handed sit and gos. The advantage to doing this is that two players get paid out on each table and at the lower levels, there are always a few idiots who will over commit to marginal hands early. This means that you often have to do relatively little work to get a return.
  My favourite sites for this type of game are Betfair because of the soft competition and Pokerstars for the volume of traffic. Both sites have a structure which allows for a modicum of "real" poker before the all in shoving begins.
  I would also recommend learning the basics of Omaha. On Betfair, the six handed Omaha SNGs contain a significant number of players who are, frankly, clueless. Full Tilt has games where there are alternate levels of pot-limit Hold'em and Omaha and the worst players on the site turn up in these. However, like the Betfair Omaha games, these can sometimes take ages to fill up.

Do you use Pokertracker or Holdem Manager?

TheAngryGambler:
if i was playing on stars i would be definatly playing the 180 man sit n go"s, great value with all the donkeys splashing about and its very good for your game, only takes 3-4 hours to take down and if u hit top 3 its a very good return for your cash... maybe try a few $3 ones to try it mate?

but like your man said before the 6 seaters are a great approach.

TopPair2Pair:
I"ve read somewhere that these are good value, How many buyins do you think the av decent player would take to adjust to them? (I would probably need to play like 180 of them continously before getting a decent grasp of em! )

What level are you playing at the moment Baldaceguy and have you considered moving up if you need a new challenge?
