    Ive been a winning player for 5 years - im not a lucky fish.

    Thats some heater.

    My 1 and only downswing was a 700 in a month which cleared my account.

    This happened on a friday night, drunk.

    The following monday morning, I re-deposited £600, played nll 30, Monday, Wednesday, Friday (every other day) and when I woke up Saturday morning, I had £1,200 in my account.

    Happy days

    Edd-it - the pic wud have been better if I cud quote u BD - but there wasnt 1 there

    U guys play almost exactly the same, hence u always say the same thing 99% of the time in the clinic.

    Its like ur robots, maybe u r as u play 6+ tables all the time.

    I play 2.....2 tables!! - I dont have a default setting.

    Ive tried learning from u guys, trying to put ur theories into practise. I had mixed results, but the -£700 downswing happened during this "reconstructiion period"

    I decided to go back to being myself, how I used to be, when I used to win with ease. On Tusday night/afternoon, I made £250 profit (8/9 buy ins)

    Tonight so far Im £210 up - £30 in mtt entries, thats + 7 buy ins - Im 1 tabling!!

    U guys just dont underatand....If u all play the same, like robots, of course ur gonna have downswings.

    If ur good 70 times out of 100, and wrong 30, how gud wud it be if u cud make the right play all times u r good, and fold the 30 times u r behind?

    Perfection is possible, strive for it!!

    (and play less tables, u wont have downswings)

    No idea
    Never used any of this analytical software or anything.

    The only help Ive had with my game was during total player, when I came joint 4th on the site (looking for the best player)

    I ran deeper than beaneh and browndog, ljamesl, cowgomoo etc, being coached and judged by a professional poker player and commentator.

    It started as a means of making some beer money thru uni, and when I graduated, I had some time to take it more serious, since then, Im makng a proper wage, and as Im 23 and have no kids yet,I decided to give it a proper go.

    And so far so good, 5 figures banked, plus ive lived off the game for a year, happy days.
