No kidding. I won't spend another dollar online with out a rakeback

Do you mean on a bankroll? I'm the soul supporter of a family of 4. So not much more than $1000.

I'll read every artical. Though I'm not very articulate so I will probably just read most of them

I've been playing poker for 3 years. I play all forms of poker and do well at all of them. I made $10,104 playing poker in 2006 and looking to improve those numbers this year. I'd like to hear your opinions. I need some Intense poker training. I'm talking about ways to help develope my skills. Something I could give 110% focus to. (ie. watch a billion hours of poker on TV and break down every hand played) I've never made New Year's resolutions before, but I did this year. It was to put Five times the amount of focus into my poker playing. So I'd like to find out what some of FCP's top playe

Can anyone help me find the DVD, or a download to High Stakes Poker on GSN?

This isn't copied right out of the book. Just the formula. You don't have any control in that position. You "control your own destiny" by acting on the information you've recieved from the other players

Harrington writes about "M". Your "M" is the size of your chip stack in realtion to the blinds and antes. For example. Late in a tourney,10 handed Blinds are 1000-2000 with a $200 ante. When you add th BB, SB and ante of all 10 players you get $5000. (SB=$1000, BB=$2000, 10Xante of $200= $2000)IF you have a chip stack of $15000, divide it by our magic number ($5000) then you will get your "M" wich is totaled to 3. You should make a stand with your money when your "M" is creeping bellow 4 or 5. Also it's best to put it in, in a later position when you have a weaker holding. Imagine you a

I just went on a 2 week losing streak of "second best hand syndrome" It really makes you feel sick, especially if your used to winning. To cool off....I joined a poker forum. LOL

20X the tourney buy in should be enough. So if you play 20+2. A bakroll of $440 should be lots.

It dosn't matter if there is no where in the book that says call off all your chips on the draw. You should do it if your being offered 4-1 on you money. It'll pay off in the long run.

I don't suggest that anyone read anything by Skalensky if they are just starting out. I've read a truck load of books and skalensky is still hard to follow. Roy Rounder has a pretty good E-book on NLHE that I thought really improved my game when I first started out. I gave a copy to a few of my friends when they first started and they've really done well.

Cash games should be your bread and butter. There is usually more money sitting at your table in a cash game. At a SnG everybody has commited, say, $10 to the pot. So there will only ever be $100 to be won. At best you'll get half for 1st place. And those weak players who bust out early will not be comming back. As your table shrinks, the tougher your players get. In a ring game, everyone buys in for $50. So now your table will contain closer to $500. Those weakies that would have busted early in a tourney now have the option to buy back in and they might be steaming. It'll be you job to use
