On the bankroll decussion, play with 5 to 10% max only
write down all tournies you play live and online with dates, times and how many players etc with finishing position and winnings. Subtract buy ins from winnings to see if you are up or down in profit
Having played with you before i think you have a solid game and i dont think you should worry too much about your game. Having qualified for the super 50 at xmas and the 300 (well done and good luck mate) and do well as capt for Notts your results speak for themselves. sorry for going all in with u when i had pocket sevens but i went with my gut
im the opposite to you and have a photographic memory but i always make the same mistakes when i have pocket nines,
and jacks. Experience is taught from your own mistakes so im still learning.
Congrats on the weight loss! It takes a lot of dedication to achieve that and if you do this in poker you will go far
Keeping fit: to keep weight off i run 10 k (6.25 miles) a week and go to gym 3-4 times a week with lots or cardio training, play golf (hench the name tiger) and still play vets football lol. My son plays for wolves academy so my weekends are always busy so i never get time to play live and ive never done a deepstack either. lets us know how you get on in yours.
was that brief enough?
