Hi lads and lasses of the forum I am a losing poker player,this is because I lack concentration, play above my bankroll or maybe just because i am not very good...I try to use serious bankroll management but i always tilt off or play to high etc etc and i have been thinking about what to do about this as i get bored easily ,to try and play properly and i have decided to set myself a challenge.... I am depositing £50 and that will be the last money i deposit on sky poker,if i donk it off and tilt then that's my lot.I do not wish to lose and i actually do think i am good enough not to so that is the challenge, i would love your input into the sort of games u all think i should play to maximise profit and value!!!!!! getting married next year and really think it is time to get serious as there are other things i should be spending money on after all sport hurts go hard or go home!!!!!

gl jesusdog,if u get bored easy, dont play deep stacks.i think there boring aswell.play dym,s and u can win a four zero amount like johnconnor,if ur lucky enuf lol.Playing cash games mite work but i dont do it myself.i had AA in a cash game and flopped A/10/10.it was a pity no one told me the guy who called my 46 quid all in had 10/10 so i never bothered with cash again.i win an odd touney now and again but get donk called by all the new geeks on ere so i mite have a break but good luck to you,hitman rv been on ere a while,he,ll tell ya the craic about sky lol.
I just played 3hrs 20 mins at NL4 & finished 6p down! (was playing DTD as well)
As stated earlier good practice poker (despite the odd all-in caller pre A4o - happened to me tonight - why do they always hit?? - AREA 51 here we come!) is the DTD on a Monday. This attracts a lot of regs - most of which play either a lot at that level or higher - and its only a fiver.50
I also suffer from the dreaded impatience & find playing less times a week works for me. Might not work for u though as will be under the thumb soon, so enjoy while u can!
thanks to all for good luck messages. thanks to rover for the huge PM i am grinding now but will def read when i can give it the attention it deserves!! as for the guys who are tipping me to play DTD,thanks but i cant play as have college on monday night until 930 so woudl miss all the tourneys.. back to the grinding £3.50 ish up so far...slowly slowly catchy monkey,or whatever the saying is Posted by jesusdog22

well thats my second grinding session over with and balance now is £56.40 so a nice solid £5 profit,which is amazing considering the amount of AA and KK that got cracked.oh well here is looking forward to tomrrow where i will put in a good 4 hours in the morning..looking to hit a £10 plus profit!!!!!
It's getting your head round the concept that making money from poker isn't about that one massive hero bet for all or nothing, it's making lots of smaller bets and getting it right a high enough percentage of the time to make money long term.
