Hi guys
I currently play 100 and 200$ HU sngs along with 6max sngs ranging from 72-240$. I feel that I am a pretty solid player since I do real well at these stakes. I also play MTTs when I get the chances too and have several wins and countless final tables. Unfortunately none of these wins were huge. Largest win was in a 50+5 freeze out for 2400. I have a membership to CardRunners but dont think that will take my game to the next level. I guess Im looking for advice on what to do next. Getting better at MTTs and winning a big tourney is my number 1 goal and perfecting my 6 max sng game is number 2. HU is my bread and butter so probably dont need advice in that area. Anyone out there who thinks they can help, I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Ronnie

Bump. I would really like some advice if anyone out there has it. Like how did you take your game to the next level. Being good is one thing but being great is completely different and Im looking to be great. Also Im a 19 year old college kid who wants to go pro after college. Any advice on that?

-Establish a network of personal poker relationships

-Give cash games a try sometime soon before you become a donkament pro

-Purchase/earn a subscription to all of the coaching sites, or find someone who has them

-Roll-build

-Use Hold'em Manager to establish a hand database that you can analyze away from the table

-Set short-term and long-term personal goals: (10 buyins in a day, 10k hands a week)

-Establish your general strategy, your 'game', 1) by learning through theory as well as 2) learning through experience

-Coach other people that are much weaker players than you are

-Spend lots of time with poker, even if it's not through playing

-Remember that advice on 2p2 is not necessarily sacred or even valuable

Thank you very much for your input. I do alot of these things now. I have a training site memebe ship. I have many friends in the poker community. I have excellent bankroll management with a good strategy to continue to build it while cashing out. I play full ring cash game lives but should start playing them online. I help players already and poker has become a big part of my life. I must be doing something right since im doing these suggested things already. Please keep more advice coming guys and gals. Thanks

First things first I think you need to be crystal clear on what you are trying to achieve - you need to think about what you really want and then set goals with milestones along the way.

I would probably suggest use this thread as your basis for setting goals - have a crack at putting them together and posting them in this thread for feedback.

From there it is just a matter of putting in the hours and the hard work and moving towards those goals.

Once your goals are set, we can then provide more details information on helping you achieve those goals.
