Ive been playing on and off for 2 years...and still am no better than the day i started. Can not go more than a day without going in the red. I just cant seem to play solid poker, no matter how much i play and try to study. Dont know what im expecting as replies, just trying to vent i guess...deposited $50 and lost it all in about 2 hours at pokerstars at 10NL.

Play $5NL or $2NL?

Use bankroll management? 20 buyins for every level? post hands, ask for advice?

Ulcajun I am in the same boat. I know my skill level has increased because I am winning alot of local live tournies but just seems like I cant make headway with online poker. Very frustrating.

In case you play on stars:

1. Open a blank txt file whenever you play.
2. If you have trouble with a hand, open the instant hand history immediately afterwards.
3. Open the hand in question.
4. Copy the text and paste it into your txt file.

not available at FTP where u normally play, lost my $200 BR and waiting for my rakeback($110 this month) Deposited 50 in PS to try to clear their bonus...which i found out is basicly impossible. I think im gonna try wingows, anyone know how long it will take to clear per $5 playing 10NL?

Just wish i could see any improvement in my game...its really disheartening. Also about PT...i can buy it, but would rather put that money into bankroll. I know playing 10NL i could have earned it in like a week playing at FT, just trying to see what the next easiest is to clear at 10NL

I would really recommend joining cardrunners.com you learn a lot from that site!

and i kinda was in the same boat i played NL200 winning a lot one day and busting the next day. i haven't been playing below NL100 in about a year, before the last two weeks.
I deposited my regular 300$ and started playing NL50
i have been playing about 5k hands since then and i have 4.59 bb/h and a mtt ratio of 3.84.Giving me a total of 17.51bb/h
if i keep my bb/h i can take a shot at NL100 in about 15k hands without putting my bankroll at risk.
And as mentioned earlier in the post. Post hands in forum and read it is very good!

What i want to say is try and get some system into your bankroll and game
