Message: [QUOTE="Big_Rudy, post: 1863611, member: 73333"] I wish. I've been playing for about three years online and live for longer than that. Unfortunately my game is about where it has always been. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I was a marginal winner before and I'm a marginal winner now, both live and online. Tbh, much of this is probably my fault. I play too much and study too little. I must have 12-15 poker books, most of which I've read once and stuck on a shelf somewhere. I've also continually jumped between game formats and styles (generally not a good idea). Then there was the whole Black Friday thing for us US players, which caused me to abandon poker for nearly a year. I'm actually just getting back into it right now. I think, in general, this site is great and there are a lot of nice people here, but like anything else in life, you'll get out of it what you put into it. Some things are easily answered, and fixed, like bankroll management issues, dealing with tilt, technical questions (how do I set up a HUD, etc). Others, like fundamentally changing your game, will be significantly harder and take more work on your part. Then, there is the advice issue. You'll get tons of it here. I truely believe that everyone who gives advice here is trying to help you improve your game, BUT everyone approaches the game a little differently. And, the best meaning advice in the world, from a very talented player, will not help your game much if you can't incorporate it into your game in a proper and successful manner. What I'm trying to say is what works for some players, and hence their advice, may or may not work for everyone/you. I've struggled with this before from players on here who I admire and whose games I respect, but whose advice, no matter how well intentioned, just does not work when I try to incorporate it into my game. Then I've had a few "aha" moments where someone will say something, or offer some advice and it just "clicks". Long story short.... You'll find tons of help/advice here and a lot of nice people. Its up to you how much you get out of it and will be directly related to how much effort you put into it. [/QUOTE]
