Hi All wonder if any of you kind people could offer any advice.Been playing since Sep 2006 mainly IPOKER and Pokerstars.Play upto $10 buyin usually.Started with holdem but now omaha aswell also some Horse.The problem is Icant seem to kick on and build a decent roll.I keep records of all games played and in last two years or so have not lost any many overall but the pro fit is small.An example I put $40 in Pokerstars in July 2007MY Roll has peaked at $210 and now hovers between $135 and $175.Prehaps my thinking has gone stale or something.I do study and think about the game pre haps to much?any response gratefully recieved.Thank you.

What level are you playing at the moment Baldaceguy and have you considered moving up if you need a new challenge?
Ok,where to start.................
1st off do NOT move up in levels,if after 2 years playing at $10 and below and you are not beating them at this level , you will only lose money at higher,if anything you should be looking to move down in levels , find one you can beat , build up a bankroll then move up.
2 - Try to find something to specialize in eg - sngs mtts or cash [limit or NL]
3 - It seems to me from reading between the lines from your original question that you are in a rut and that you most probably have a lot of leaks in your game.
4 - Start posting your hands more and get opinions on how you"ve played them,not your good ones
every single bad embarrassing one,that way you give yourself the opportunity to improve.
5 - Ask a player better than yourself or post a whole sessions hand history on here or any good poker forum and get feed back on the way you have played.[You will be surprised at how generous and giving some are
]
6- If you play live,ask your friends if they will play reveal the hand,after every hand played or every orbit [u get the gist] how and what hands they played,bet sizing,image ,how they perceived you , tells etc etc and improve that way.
If you love poker and want to get better and are willing to work at it, then you will.
hope this helps you
