the fastest way to learn to play good is to pay 520/hr to balugawhale to teach you his godliness. IMHO of course

I will make one attempt to help as this is the beginners forum. The answer is this: there is no easy/fast way to make money in poker. The only way that you can make the big bucks is using a sound combination of study, play and utilizing bankroll management. Upon opening this thread, it is clear that this may be impossible for you as you appear to lack a certain thing called patience, which is a must have for a successful poker player.

GL though.

There is no fast/easy way. You have to study play, study more, play more, study more, play more. Study being many different things. This forum, books, hand evaluation.

The best way to learn is to spend 12 hours a day studying the game, and the other 12 to play the micros. Sleeping is for pussys

Playing and studying and then playing more is the way to go. I would read the stickies in the subforum of your choice.

I cannot help you more than that as far as 180 mtt's go, I'm a cash games specialist. Maybe someone can point you in the right direction.

Normally I'd say take this attitude elsewhere but to be honest I think you have a point. I cannot understand why you have got such bad responses..............................let's start again shall we.

Welcome to the forums. The best way to improve is take part in the mtt forum and carry on playing. It's a gradual progression.

I hope this thread has not put you off posting here. The BF is normally a decent place. Just one thing - don't react the way you did every time you get some silly replies. Good luck.

I came in to the thread more than happy to be helpful and give advice, until I read that post. It's just too early in the morning for me to put up with people throwing tantrums.

But a piece of advice anyway, if you get that annoyed about some people posting words on a forum then I can't imagine how angry you'll get when people 3 outer you and take your money. You have big tilt issues and if you are serious about taking poker seriously then you need to start working on a bit of emotional control.

Play omaha, it's like multitabling holdem on one table. You will learn really fast.

Fastest is always volume imo. Not so much multitabling 16 tables but finding a medium between having to think about each important decision, and not being too bored where you start playing marginal hands.

Mix this with some studying. Look over your HH for any leaks, watch videos, and read a book or two.

OP,

I just wonder if you ask a question like that how you found out about 2p2 and I'm highly doubting its b/c youve read any 2p2 books lol

But, that being said there is NO fast, easy, quick way to learn any poker game, i dont care if its razz, plo or NLHE.

I would say go to your site and mess with playchips playing all various forms, read HOH vol1, the poker mindset, maybe some other books like Miller's Getting Started in NLHE..also obv read the stickies here at 2p2...THENN make your first deposit, get your feet wet and if you lose it you lose it, but above all be patient and dedicate and apply yourself...and above all dont just sit there content go out and improve by finding your mistakes and not repeating them..I think thats the biggest thing that separates donks from decent or better players imho.

there, hope I didnt waste my breath...fyi I've been playing online almost 3 years and it took me a long time to learn some of these hard lessons you could potentially learn more easily than I did!
