Hello, my name is Htufty and I'm playing poker for over 3 years now. One month ago I turned 21 which allowed me to play on legal sites. So I started playing on pokerstars. I deposited 100$. My start was very good I made like 150$ in three days on the 0.08/0.16$ zoom tables. After a few bad beats I decided to play some 15$ SNG's (tilted?) after losing two of them I said to myself 'let's play one more' which I did. The prize pool turned out to be 375$ which I won. Now after 3 weeks I lost it all
.
I really don't want to give up my dream to become a winning player. And I want to work for it but I really don't know where to start. I bought 'Harrington on online cash games' which is a very good book but it's just too much information to remember. I also can't affort myself to pay 100$ for upswinglab if I don't even know if it will be good. Can anyone recommend me something? I just don't know what to study.
I also need some good advice about rakes. Since I'm using PokerTracker, the free version of it, I realised that the rake I'm paying is just to much.
I've played 22,264 hands and I lost 70,46 euro and the total rake I paid is 214,78 euro. Here is the picture:
I live in Belgium and only a few sites allow Belgium players. I really need a good rakeback deal or I need to quit cash games and start focusing on MTT's.
Sorry for my bad english and my bad writing skills
