Message: [QUOTE="Leatherass, post: 1415656, member: 63650"] I hope you enjoy the book! Thanks so much for the support. 1. I think your best options by far are books and poker training sites like the one I work for called [url]http://www.dragthebar.com[/url] I don't see you getting a ton of value out of blogs, but there are some that are definitely worthwhile reads. Believe it or not, but I have kept a very active blog up for over 3 years now. I enjoy doing it and I think from time to time I give some good advice in there. It is at my book website, Cardplayer.com and dragthebar.com I suppose that you are best off reading a few blogs. Daniel Negranu's is generally pretty good I think. 2. I think you should almost always be playing. I think reading stuff is great, but put into play right away. I would never advocate someone simply studying poker for a week and not playing. I think you want to spend no more than 20% of your time studying and less and less as you improve. There is no substitute for experience in this game. 3. I go by feel. If I fell like I am running like shit, then I probably am. If I feel like I am running decent and get in a lot of tough spots, I probably need to do some home work on that stuff because I am getting outplayed. 4. Play money is a complete waste of time. I tell anyone looking to learn poker to just deposit $20 on Poker Stars and play some 1/2 cent. Play money is not realistic. In fact, it makes no sense to begin with. You play poker to gamble money. If you take away money, then you don't have a game in my opinion. There has to be a consequence to your actions or it isn't poker in my mind. 5. My publishing company, Imagine Media, has a book coming out soon that will help you with all this stuff. We haven't officially announced what it is going to be yet, but keep your eyes peeled for an announcement relatively soon. It is going to knock the socks off of the secrets pros use that will be a game changer for the amateur player who is unsure of how to go about the online game. 6. No there really isn't. There have been tons of times this year I will say, "Allright, I'm going to start poker at 1PM and then by 3PM I realize that I have just been hanging out with her trying to get her to giggle :) She's definitely the best. Sorry Leatherwife :) [/QUOTE]
