Thanks for the help guys! Will try experimenting on certain games that I may be able to roll money from!

I know this may sound obvious, but i think a lot take it for granted: find a game you beat, and just play it over and over again until you're rich.

Listen to this pro nico!!!  If you cant find the fish yourself you can always look for fishermen for hire....  Para ka lang tumataya sa basketball odds pero itataya mo sa mga legit stakees....

Eto seryoso naman...  Kaya ka naman nakilala dito madalas ka mag top sa mga sng's ng PM di ba?  Baka you're forgetting to enjoy the game of poker....  Baka masyado ka na naka-concentrate into becoming the poker beast na tipong unbeatable....

As with anything else in life, you have to put in the hard work if you want to have a chance at succeeding. And even that won't guarantee success.

I know people who worked really hard -- trained, studied and put in huuuuuge volume -- and still didn't succeed.

One thing I noticed is that most of the players I know or read about that are successful have a natural talent for the game, even before they started putting in the hard work to get really good at it. I don't know what it is but it's probably intangible things that sets them apart from others like instinct, having an analytic mind, etc. The X-factor.

I remember when I started playing in home games 5 years ago with friends I used to have winning sessions like maybe 8 out of 10 times -- and I generally had no clue what I was doing...

But if you really wanna give yourself a shot, you will really have to work hard:
1. Try to absorb all the info you can get your hands on;
2. Browse and participate in the the strategy section of forums like 2+2, p5s, etc.
3. Win or lose, always question your play and try to see if you played correctly; if you're not sure, ask someone who's better than you;
4. Practice, practice, practice

And like I said, even if you do all of the above, success is not guaranteed, but at least you will give yourself a shot.

This is so true.  I remember too when i first started playing with my buddies, i'd always be the one winning most of the sessions.  It's sad to say but even if you put in all the work, it wont always mean success.   I have a friend too who had good skills, invested online in time, bought HEM and put in the hours but at the end he had a penchant for gambling.  So after a bad session he'd put his whole roll in a couple  500NL tables and get raped.   Also if you search OPR you will see that only 20% of the online community are showing a profit.  So even if at the end you don't show a profit, i think you owe it to yourself to at least give it a shot and do it the right way to give yourself the best chance at succeeding

just to add .  . you need a least a little bit of luck . in short, get a break . .

- good BRM
- HEM
- don't tilt
- don't be results oriented, just keep on grinding

[Jeffr3y]

I think before you start GRINDING, you should just 2-4 table and really learn the game. Don't think about making money but instead try to improve your winrate.  Get better at handreading.

FWIW BM is nothing if you don't have what it takes to become a winning player. First thing you need to focus on is your attitude. All your questions have been answered before.

BM - no amount of BRM will save you if your a losing player.
What game to play - Play what your best or least worst game (unless you have other reasons to do otherwise.)
How long to play - play til u want until your not comfortable playing.

All these have been answered before. After numerous deposits, IMHO your question should be am I losing because im a bad player. What do I do to improve my game?

Nothing worth doing in life is easy. If it was then its not worth doing.
Asking questions like above hoping answers would get you success online is not just naive its plain dumb and a waste of your life.  I hope you can find some positiveness in my post. Sometimes, being cruel is being nice. At least I won't mislead you. Dude, you must suck in poker that's why you lose the only way to succeed is to get better. None of the questions above qualifies as learning to get better.
