Im telling you this because I want you to know, if you want to compete with these players, you are competing with people who already were strong 10 years ago and if they are still around, they got massively better. The gap between you and a good professional player is going to be huge.
I dont want to discourage you, you seem to have a lot of spirit for the game. And if the choice is you donating some money every month vs you earning some money every month, because you play regardless. Then obviously try getting better and become a winning player. Just be aware it will be a lot of work and will probably take longer than you expect.
To answer your questions properly I would need more input, such as what is your goal with poker. How is your financal situation, how much time could you put into getting better...
As far as your question on forum, coach or study group goes. Good poker players have usually done all 3 and most still do. There is also a 4th essential part which would be, to get some programms and study on your own. You can do all 4 at the same time.
Good Luck.
Thanks for the reply buddy very ineresting indeed i knew he had been around a while i saw that he has done some videos for card runner i think and his results spoke for themselves. i came across a post of his on here yesterday telling his story i think he had a bit of a bad run not long ago and has now got right back into it or at least is trying to so its bad timing on my part. Been on stars today and yesterday and the games have been pretty decent with a couple of poor players per table. i also havnt seen the regs i mentioned, have seen a couple of others but not those i mentioned maybe i scared them off
. Think im going to try to delegate my time a lot better over the next few weeks try and do at least 4hrs at the tables and 1 hr studyin or goin over hands to see where i am at the end of next month. As for my finacncial situation if i was to go bust i would have to start from the begining again with like a 20$ deposit so im not looking on being reckless and also if i did go bust with good bankroll management then there is obv some serious leaks in my game that would need addressing first . As for what i want from poker - id love to play proffesionaly drawing a wage off every month. that would be heaven to me but i know it takes a lot of hard work and dedication but for me right now i have the perfect opportunity to try as i dont need to draw any money out and i also have 5 hrs a day spare so why not try an make something of what i love . At the end of your message you mention something about getting programms and studying , what did you mean by that ?
Ps do you play professionally if so what do you play and what does a day in your life look like ?
Thanks again
