    "The one single thing which has most improved my game is..."

    Joining a team specifically TPT. Everyone from the smallest stake players to the biggest has something in their game that you can learn from. My all round game has improved hugely since joining. Not one single player in our team has ever said their poker got worse (so far).

    "The one single thing which has most improved my game is..."

    I Learnt to bet for a reason

    i.e either for value or as a bluff

    Also, and more generally, I have learnt to always think about every decision before making it. Why am i calling/checking/raising/betting?  Why am i betting 1/2 pot or 3/4 pot. etc... ?

    In summary, I learnt to not just press random buttons. Although if u see some of my disastrous plays in mtts, u may disagree! :)

    Thinking "now what would Richard Orford do in this position?"










    ... and doing the opposite.

    Shout out to Alan (MAXALLY) who just got in the main event via 200 runner all in sat for £2.90.

    Any cash would be a fantastic ROI

    Good Luck !

     The one single thing which has improved my game the most..

          ..was the creation of my diary on the forum. Find it a massive help in keeping me focused as there is nothing worse than posting awful plays and also gives me the chance to get other players to comment on any tough decisions I find myself in. Perhaps most importantly it always reminds me why I play poker and that's because I enjoy it and want to have FUN.

    After being card dead for an hour then picking up AK doesnt make it any better a pre flop hand than it was yesterday or will be tomorrow ! ............ bitter experience.

    First time player on the site tonight, first game and qualified for the UKOPS 5 Side Event- £10,000 Bounty Hunter, beginners luck i recon.

    Not believing everyone has hit the flop just because they bet it, so sticking to my guns if im in a hand and acting on the way the player has played not just the cards that have come out and getting scared.

    Hi Guys......rags to riches...I'm in the high roller (biggest buy-in I have ever played) and got in by grinding through a 2.90 into the Late Reg semi.

    Still in a bit of a daze but I was brought back to earth with my first hand, 99 ran into KK!!!  Thankfully only lost 600 chips!

    Great show as usual..good luck to everyone in the tourney.

    Got into the Side event for £3 through an all in Sat half hour ago! Tbh would rather have had the £55 but I'm in it now so hoping for a bit of a run good! I'm profitable at lower levels so just need to go up a gear tonight!

    Rich and Jen,

    Loving the show as normal. Managed to sat into the 10K BH Side event for only £3 so going to take your advice and go for it as this is well above my usual tourney buy-in so what's to lose.

    Keep iup the good work

    WOuld you have a look at this Rich/Jen? 581559664 from the side event, just played. Awful river for me really, have I made a great lay down or had a shocker? More I think about it the more I think I've had a shocker but hes bet so small then as soon as the other king comes it looks like a value bet.
