Hey! My dad always taught me to win as if you expect it, lose as if you like it! You have to remember things will happen good and bad, staying even keeled is huge and will go a long way in poker if you can have this mentality as a base line.Johnsouth said:

I think tournaments are more intricate, there is more variation then with stack sizes and how to play different bb situations. Cash games is more "solved" if you will 100bb+ deep, not as many soft games online. Think mtt will always be lucrative to those that study & put in the time.killbello said:
mental toughness; willingness to take risk when they believe there game is ready to move up stakes. This was discussed recently on a podcast i did w/ BenCB789Zzzms said:
No Problem! I would stay as alert as you can but yes will take a bit of time to get info on someone you've never seen before. Being present & off of electronics is important!alannalmeida said:First of all, thanks for doing that. So my question is quite untypical i think. Could you give some tips about reading our opponents. because I think when the table is getting smaller is easier to notice everyone playing, but and at the first moment? Like, starting the game. What can you say ? Thanks for that.
Hey! Yes I would highly recommend doing some studying. What I use personally is on my website; JeffGrossPoker.com/affiliaton (can click on the Raise Your Edge there; discount codes as well). There is lots of good information out there and programs, this is the best for me & I endorse it. Watching youtube videos & Twitch is also great. MTT tournaments online are great still!Destruct51 said:
I think a good indication is when you are getting the same results over and over again(when not good results) also maybe a sign to take a step back and evaluate some of the plays w/ friends or poker tools to analyze what's going on! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly & expecting a different result!Zzzms said:

I plan to stream much more in 2019 w/ the Baby coming and less travel! Yes if I am not online you are seeing me auto host someone that's why it re directs you!AKQ said:
I would not suggest that! You could if it is for a set amount of time, you really don't want to get burned out though. I think having a set schedule is a good idea and keeps you balanced & hungry!Benego said:
No not at all, having 2 overs & the NFD (Nut Flush Draw) you are def looking to put money into the pot, don't be results oriented! Unlucky next hand!think1n said:
Your Welcome! Any time.kdawg71 said:
Great question. I would say using a HUD is the most valuable (Heads up Display) such as PokerTracker4. This gives you lot of information even basic stats go long way! Hope this helps (for online)SouthparkSith said:
Yes this sounds like a mind set issue. Don't be afraid to go for it. Realize that the lion share of the money is in the top 3 places. So making some aggressive moves near a bubble or secondary bubble that dont' work out some time is okay. Building a big stack that can pressure ppl late is huge! Take some risks & embrace it!bablovod said:
Thanks again! What is your username on Twitch?Mc_Terp said:
When I was a SO in highschool, my friend on my high school soccer team (Craig Pfister) brought in a plastic chip set and we started playing at soccer camp. The rest is history!edijs126 said:
Appreciate the kind words! It's nice to be here!keontayB said:
This is a pretty ambiguous question but can try to tackle it. I think in general you can attribute many factors in what constructs a poker player. Experience & fundamentals are paramount. Being able to deal w/ the mental side of the game is huge as well. bankroll management is also underrated & managing tilt factor. These are some of the things to look at when comparing poker players abilities.abbershey said:
I can't speak for all pro players, but I can talk about my start. I started playing .25/.50 live w/ friends and then the same online 6 -max. I ran up a roll from starting w/ a small amount. What makes a pro pro is hard to say. Basically someone who is able to support themselves from Poker. A pro also conducts him or her self in a professional manner on and off the table.Jayplay916 said:
