Default Re: how to get good at cash games (i must be terrible)

i never played above $114 sngs like you and newt but i also sort of know what it's like. i moved from sngs directly to 1/2 last winter and broke even for a couple months and then took some time off poker.

the skills needed in cash are really different, stuff i didn't even think about, and i probably would have learned a lot faster had i gotten a coach.

I'll teach you how to beat 10/20 if you teach me how to win seven figures in a day.

Also, you're coming to Niagara right? And back to Toronto after?

Thanks for all the replies so far. I have played around 40,000 hands of 2/4 nl, running at 5ptbb/100, usually 4-8 tabling. This all happened after party closed to US players and mainly on full tilt. Lately, I have been playing lots of live mtts, so I find it hard to sit down and just grind all day. I have been coached by numerous people and apparently what they are trying to teach me just doesnt sink in. Now whenever I try to play for a long peroid of time, I just get pwned over and over and get pissed and quit. I was talking to durrr and he tells me to just play lots and lots of hands 5/10 and ill get it eventually. The problem is I fear I will be broke before I figure it out, as I have been trying to figure it out for a year with no success. Thanks again for the replies.

Why not just move up to 3/6?

That's inspiring.

Do any of you think that some people just don't have what it takes to win at 5/10 but can win at 2/4 or 3/6?

40k hands are nothing...

Itīs irresponsibly to move up after only 40k hands...
