Doing the hard work away from the table
Something I'm always doing is scrolling through reading pro's tips reading strategy articles, simply trying to stay in touch with the opposition or even a step ahead.
These are the things that must be one to try and stay on top of your game and give you every bit of an edge possibly available, to make it in this competitive game.
So what do you read?
Well the answer is easy you read up on what you think your lacking in.
Q. Do you struggle in tournaments?
A. You read up on tournament strategy.
Q. Do you often loose at cash games?
A. You study cash games.
Q. have you won loads of money but nothing to show for it now?
A. Get to grips with your bankroll management.
So now that's sorted good luck in spending your millions and I hope you enjoy it.
All the best. Skipper
Next point people have, is that they have read up on all these problem points but still struggle to make it in the poker world and constantly fail to make a steady profit.
We are all guilty of the same crime here .
We go out of our way, away from the poker table buy all the books, get all the magazines, study all the pro's blogs and still we cant make it as a profitable player.
A. Is because we don't listen. Yes! We don't listen.
You see what happens is the first thing.
We study how to control the bankroll then decide that the tournaments it allows us to play in don't pay enough so we enter a bigger one.
That's not listening.
Then do the same by raising under the gun with ace ten suited because it looks nice, yet everything we have read says to do different.
I cant say it loud enough listening to yourself as your reading the facts.
Its a common problem in this game that the better we get, the worse the results are. This is because once we have learnt this little move or what ever it is, we decide to ignore the fundamentals, and this is where the problems start.
Every player should read and play equal amounts if necessary to improve there game to the realistic level they want to be at. To do this no matter how much you play you must always follow the fundamentals of the game. Always, always always.
I'm not trying to say that you cant ever bluff a situation because it's not a fundamental, but it is a fundamental to learn enough about the opponent your going to bluff and know he is going to fold etc.......
You will probably find that your doing a lot of hard work away from the table just make sure you practise what you preach and you will not go far wrong and at the same time make a long term profit...........LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN

Thanks for posting this message. Bankroll management is critical to long term success, especially at online poker. Without a bankroll management plan you can easily give back your hard earned profit due to a run of bad cards or going on tilt. With the right bankroll management plan you can protect yourself from the inevitable bad swings.
