Message: [QUOTE="Vollycat, post: 651996, member: 23635"] There's no other way to become a winning player then understanding the game. Read the books, and like others have said, learn how to apply them. A coach will only verbalize what is being said in print--and cost you big money. Past that, I think you are missing a key point here--poker, and becoming a winning player, has little to do with making money. Sure one follows the other, but you cannot equate a game where luck plays a portion to the outcome, and expect a positive return everytime. However, you being 'unlucky all the time' is silly as well--that's just not true. Stop trying to 'win money' and start trying play the game properly. Playing the game right will then equate to an overall positive win rate--key point OVERALL. Perfect play will not mean extra cash [I]every[/I] night. However, you focus on the outcome, you will lose sight of the proper way to get to the outcome you want. Take everyones advice here, because like everyone has hinted at, you are not playing the game right. This is a game of skill and the cream will rise. You won't end up winning every session, but until you actually learn the game properly, you will have a negative outcome. As we are trying to tell the US legistlation poker is a game of skill. The ones who have skill will take money from those that are not as skilled. As for 'hiring a coach'. 2 things: 1) If there is someone good enough to actually coach you, they are playing the game and making good money--which means you are going to pay a premium dollar so they are spending it with you instead of making it on the felt. 2) Save your money on a coach and learn the game properly from books/forums. If you can't get it from a book, or through forum hand analisys, well, there's flyfishing as a hobby too. Smell the coffee. [/QUOTE]
