Now that I've got a positive ROI and one good tournament under my belt, I am being told I just ran good!

Poker players are such a competitive bunch.

You know what I would love to see on FT? Replays of large tourneys so we can see how other players play their hands. Of course, that doesn't serve to conceal their game but it gives us a fascinating insight into how they play. The televised pros have their hole cards shown and they seem to handle it okay. I'd love to see how a Lappin, Kennl, or Scott plays by viewing their hole cards on a replayed tourney.

If you want to see how great players play then get on a pay site like poker pwnage, great if you just want mtts. PokerStars have their major tourneys replayed but you dont get the player analysis. I am eventually going to get cardrunners (off my full tilt points) so I can get more info on play horse and the like. 6 months for pokerpwnage or cardrunners might be a steep price but making just one different move in a 45 might lead to a win and then you get all that money back.

One huge thing I did not do as much in mtts is isolate limpers (without premium holdings), now I raise them much more often and might have a big hand or I might have KJ or a suited connector. Isolating the limpers with position has greatly improved my chipping up early in the tournament. This alone was worth the price.

It sounds like you are ready for the next step. DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. DO IT.
If you just want some 45 help then look to pimpindonks videos off of sharkscope. I have not seen them but he is the 45man sng God. (Sorry PureProfitFour he is the man, but I hope you playing WPTs and the WSOP because I dont want you on my table.)

Yeah I am going to go to Pokerpawnge and pay for a subscription. Cardrunners looks good too. The 45 man vids on Sharkscope sound good. I didn't know about them! The hard part is sacrificing some precious playing time for learning time.

When you work full time, go to the gym, make time for family, etc etc, when I do find a moment I am straight on the tables! Even tonight, with limited time Im thinking of getthing onto PS to play some 180 man turbos because they are faster and I can squeeze some in with the limited time I've got.

Anyone willing to stake me to quit my job and focus on poker? You guys seem like a generous bunch with big bankrolls :biglaugh:

as cambo mentioned, watch pimpindonks vidz on sharkscopers!
they helped me a lot improving (although im a loosing player with no volume!)

its not as expensive as pokerpawnge, but offers a lot of great content!

gl ant!
