Simple . . .
Find Mr. Kent, find a old phone booth and have him do his thing. Then, hire him to run backwards really fast, so the rotation of the earth reverses.
Tell him to stop on or about May of 2005. Play shorthanded Party Poker 30-60 on the new increased # of tables. Then, quit around April, 2006 or so, when Party realized they were bailing and cheated American players until finally pulling out in October. I'll send you an invoice for services rendered, TSP

Re: How do you become a consistent winning player?
Read books, play constantly, take notes and make observations after playing sessions, be able to identify when you make mistakes and learn from them, play with people who are better than you and watch what they do and how they play, watch pros play on television, read more books, read and post stuff here.
Outside of that, not much you can do. Intelligence and demeanor will dictate whether you're decent, great, or somewhere in between. You cannot be great at poker without working at it. You CAN fail to be great after having worked at it though.

Re: How do you become a consistent winning player?
Most of these folks are grinding...giving up some EV in order to play more hands and/or using software to get a quick and dirty statistical read on oponents.

I always wonder how people can read other people when they play like 5+ tables at the same time. [/ QUOTE ] Reading players is less important in online poker than in real life. Online poker is about volume and speed- this is why multi-tabling is higher EV overall even though you give up some readability. I consider myself a good poker player, but I don't do it for a living. I am a trader at a new york investment bank by profession, and I find the skills in many instances to be fully transferable.

[/ QUOTE ] Part of the secret of this is that reads just don't alter your decision on all that many hands. The other part is that they do sacrifice some reads and some some money per table hour for more money per clock hour.
