    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)

    I think it is possible to make a living from the limits 20nl/30nl.

    I think that Doh's 4k/month is obviously a rare one, especially 2 tabling, but I think that 1.5k is something that is very possible at those levels.

    I would be very interested in seeing if Doh could get similar results on another site that is fully tracked, and also what kind of effect adding more tables would add to his game.  I do think that sometimes playing more tables can be counter productive.

    Wrapping up for the night £200 richer, dnt have to think about/play poker till saturday.

    Eagle is IMO the best 1 tabler below nl100, ie, if all the best nl80 and below regs played 1 table, eagle wud be my tip to string them all up, including me.

    He has natural talent and flair, krackin instincts, and feel for the game that u abc robots cud only dream of. Superstars like Durr and Ivey don't get where they r from learning a book off by heart and putting it into practise.

    They wud obviously hang u lot out to dry, n ud be potless within 6 months.

    Im building up to it slowly, but surely, and like I said 2 months ago, give me a year, and I'll be smashing the nl200 tables, like I do the nl30 tables.

    RESIGN EAGLE! RESIGN!!!!

    Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

    I hope all this wins me thread of the week lol!

    at the end of the day no matter what anybody says, no one can argue with dohhhhhhh's results!! if the guy has been playing for 5 years and only had 1 real bad spell then that to me shows the guy has a real talent for the game, he may play different & think different to most of you, but if hes making profit day in day out, week in week out, year in year out then how can ANYBODY argue with that? laugh at him or criticize him???

    'hes a fish on a heater' is such a LOL comment!! since ive played him/spoke to him ive sat and watched him destroy the tables on a regular basis, at the end of every single session ive seen him play he's ended up massively in profit, so what does that tell ya? surely luck dont run that long? he's also helped me out massively with my game. top bloke, top player imo.

    we look so ghay now dude lol


    also thanks again to all the other ppl that have replyed on this thread since my last post giving advice. again v much appreciated cheers!!

    I have made no comment on DOHHHHH's poker ability.
    I just caution you to read the thread that I linked to.
    If a man that you consider to be crushing the game has made such a pitiable post, please think hard before making any decision.
