Message: [QUOTE="crow27, post: 1361012, member: 54216"] After playing mostly online poker for the past 4 years, I figure I'm at best an ave. player. While I'm still up over all, I would be down over 3k without a hell of a run of cards in a deep stack $30 trny. What I haven't been able to really figure out is the level (buy in amounts) that I am at skill wise. I have never really been a big gambler, so I never have put more than $50 in a poker account. So if I'm following BR rules (which I didn't early, but have been better lately) it only allows me to play the micros. I can't consistantly beat the micro levels if someone held a gun to my head. My ring game is beyond pathetic, so I RARELY put anything in ring games unless I feel burnt out on STT or MTT. I KNOW I am better than 80% of the MTT and STT players at the micros. I don't play rags out of position, I am able to recognize when someone has a better hand (most of the time), and I RARELY get it in with the worst hand. I actually went back and checked my hand history a couple of times and I could see the progression(sp) I was making by not going all in with the worst hand. While I didn't write anything down, I think I was the fav. PF when I moved all in something around 75% of the time. But, for reasons I can't seam to figure out yet, I can't build a bankroll to move out of the micros. Sorry for the ramble, but I have questions I would like opinions/answers to. 1. I don't play that many hands in a year. I was under 40k in 3 years. Am I off base thinking that I need to play more hands to reduce variance? 2.Would software like PT3 or HEM help me that much? I take notes as best I can, but when I see things like values for V$P (or whatever it is) with agression values, these are things that I don't see well and don't know how to take good notes on. ( mine are generic L/T agro, you know) 3. I've seen some thing for online poker schools. Are they worth it? The one I'm thinking about is SEAN MORONSE. Does anyone have an opinion on this? I don't have a big sample to go from, all I know is the 3 trnys I played out of my BR, $30, and 2 $50's I played what I consider very ABC poker and easily was ITM. I do recognize the $30 was an unreal run of cards. But the other 2 were your run of the mill trnys. nothing special about them. Just played a simple game. Again, sorry for the book, I welcome all opinions. Thanks [/QUOTE]
