Hello to all, my name is bryan and just started on this site. looks good so far. ive been playing poker for about three years in local club tournaments and on internet. my success in club tournaments is pretty good, my internet success is not. while ive had numerous cashes in tournaments and won about ten small ones my bankroll never goes anywhere overall. this is going to change. my normal bankroll starts at 50 or 75 and goes to zero too quickly. i have read about 10 books on poker, watched some videos here and there, but people who know me feel there is no reason im not a consistent winner. im not talking pro player just a successful player. my main problem is bankroll management. i play too high and end up losing it all on some hand. been offered a $500 stake so i am stopping playing until the beginning of the year and am focused on learning to be a better player. any advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated. im fairly good in tournaments and apparently a bad cash game player. books read include theory of poker,harrington 1 and 2, sklanskys theory of no limit, sklansky hold em-how to crush small games, one cloutier book(cant remember name), a couple of how to play on internet books, and caros book of tells, others too just cant remember all. thinking about really studying these again and not sure what else to do. giving myself till january for study while still playing live club tournaments any advice on how to best study and learn before i take the $500 stake and try to be successful with it would be great. thanks to all

I would like to thank you for your wonderful
instructional videos. This evening I viewed your
2-7 triple draw prior to entering tournament #116136650 on Stars as "Venemous".
To my astonishment I had the pleasure of playing
next to you on my first table. I was able to use
to my advantage some of the points that were
explained in the video. Due to my poor play
at various times however I finished in 12th place.
Although I am a low stakes player, and do not
have the time to fully take advantage of the
wonderful instruction you offer at no cost, rest
assured that I am not alone in giving thanks
to you,and the other players who offer this
wonderful service.
Sincerely yours,
William M Jones-"bardstown"

I'm sure that everyone here has a lot more experience than I do, but started something last August to try and help my game play. Just little games that I host on Full Tilt at 2230 server time.
I started a new job and because of the hours I work, wanted something to practice with, so set up a schedule with varying games and buyins. Yep ... I suck LoL, but am learning. As I explore this site, I hope to find more games that I am able to play, but for those that just want a good time, come join me in my games. The titles are MrMeanys Challenge 2U and the pw is always vegas. The lessons you learn are cheap, the laughs unforgettable, and the game play ... well, some of it will leave you scratching your head, but most of it will leave you going ... cripes I should of seen that coming LoL

I almost only play B&M tourneys in Arizona (work in Tucson 3 days a week) and in San Diego area (where I live). I am way ahead in the $$ area and have a BR of over 6K. I am having problems mentally of not cashing more often. Sometimes it is two or three in a row then long periods of missing. I usually always end up in the top ¼ or even the final table but have seen myself play hands I shouldn’t and blow out or just never get a good hand and blind down to forced shove and then out. I am looking for tips to keep me in the game mentally and always play a hand correctly… not give up or do something stupid
