How to improve

a lot of people have been asking me how to get better. here are the five key elements that have helped me improve:


NUMBER FIVE
sngpt. simply put, it's improved my pushes. I now don't think twice about pushing 96o on the SB with 1k chips at 75/150 when it's folded to me. it's as automatic as raising to t80 with AK or whatever. love to this great program, though i think a tad expensive.






NUMBER FOUR
reviewing my hand histories. going over them with friends and having them say 'I limp these pocket pairs preflop even UTG+1' or 'that's probably a fold on the turn'. little things like that that add up over the ages. even when i'm not losing i'll just talk to a friend that I know is better and ask, "hey, wanna go over some HHs with me?'




NUMBER THREE
2+2. great forum, it's like your personal coach if you take the time to post the hand properly. the people may not be the funniest or most laid back people on earth, but they're certainly helpful
and have helped my game a lot.




NUMBER TWO
I keep a .txt that is saved on my desktop open at all times whenever I play. whenever I play a hand I'm unsure about, whether it be an early game draw or a bubble button push, I post it in there and check it out or run it in SNGPT.




NUMBER ONE!!111ONEONE
form a circle of friends. this is the thing that helped me the most. I've tried to include as many people on my contact list that play poker, especially the people that play my stake. for example, I'll send a hand to Oznol and he'll write back when he gets back, say 'standard' or 'push turn' and then if I disagree we talk about it, debate it, and come up with a conclusion. if not, we post it on 2+2.








now run free and pwn my little kumquats!
