[/ QUOTE ]Wow lots of good players on here. I was thinking about setting up a HU-only Chat room to supplement this forum. Good or Bad Idea? We'd discuss a range of ideas but only for HU poker players.

Anyone wanna play a $4/180, or, better yet, $1/45person MTT? I'm feeling tournamenty with my new found tiny bankroll. Respond ASAP.

Im curious how much people study/think/talk poker relative to how much they play, personally I play 25 hours on a good week and study etc. at least another 30+. That was fine when I really needed to improve but now Im stuck with a strange habit of studying too much that is obviously costing me money because Im not playing enough.

playing in a $10 (guess I shouldn't be surprised by villain's play) this little gem comes up. I'm curious if there is any way restrain oneself from giving a 'LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL' in the chatbox, if so please enlighten me.

Cwar,

Great job keeping up with the studying. I don't do much of either anymore, but I think if you study 1 hour for every 2 hours playing you will continue to improve quite a bit.

that's a good habit to have bro....and its probably why ur the greatest HU-er of all time I probably study like 10 hrs per week and play ~18 hrs/week on average. My long term goal is to play 20 hrs / week and study 15 but that is gonna be a stretch for a 9-5er like me.
