How did YOU get good?
 

Hi All,

I am very interested as to the methods that others have used to improve their game. I have read all three HOH books, and everything written by Slansky. I have also read TJ Cloutier and Super System.

Simply by applying the concepts and playing by the "book", I can beat the low levels, but I am not sure what to do next? My current strategy is just to play a lot and build up experience, but that seems pretty slow, and I am afraid that I amy be practicing bad habits oblivious to potential leaks.

I would love to hear how others stepped up their game from information. I welcome the comments of professionals and amatuers alike. I have a long way to go.

Thanks,

L-

Good? Good? I am still learning too....paying my dues...taking suckouts in stride (cough cough). Just play your game and try not to let people in your head....

I play poker a lot, and that is the way to learn. i may be new to this site, but ive been reading it for a long time, and i can definitely tell you experience is the best teacher.

Play, Play, and Play some more!!!! I read everything you have and more and there are plenty of other books I still want to read, but the books are only guides or tools, experience is best, that will teach you how to apply the concepts you read. If you had someone who never played read every book in the world, I think that they'd still lose to a pro due to lack of experience. Play Play Play...you have to remember that bad beats are going to happen to you and you have to play long enough to let the percentages prevail when you've got the best of it.

Write down the mistakes you felt during the game, where u could've lost less or won more. Study these leaks when you've finished the session and learn from them. Repeat ad infinitum.

Don't forget that approximately 90% of all that are playing are losing in the long run. Hopefully your not one of them. Good luck!
