Intro Hi I'm mat

Hello all I'm mat glad to be a new member im fairly new to the game only 3 years playing 2 of them online and 1 year of live play but I think I play fairly well and I'm only gettin better

 

Hi, welcome.

 

that's the goal, get better... welcome, bring some friends

 

Good luck Mat all the best.

 

love some of your treads alspath you really no how to break it down

 

Glad you do, I've worked in the industry teaching, mentoring, shadowing over 25 years and was the Dean at Poker School Online where I learned from excellent students and other instructors as well.

some are on this forum now, look them up.

 

i posted my take on a couple of treads limping aa and how to play ak can ya have a read and just give me your thorts on my breakdown if im way off let me no iv only been playing live for 12 months but the last 4 or 5 months iv really been crushing it i play 2k guarantee tourneys a couple a week and im making the cash 80% of the time and top 3 50%of that with afew wins and top 2 and top 3 chops in there as well lookng to step up to the next level just hope my game holds up iv played 3 10grand gaurantee tourneys with 100 + runners and my results have been 8th 11th and 3rd in that order

 

tournaments, you must buy (reduced rate online, used book), Winning Tournaments One Hand at a Time, you will fly up several if not a whole floor of steps in your game. My review on books are in the poker forum. I am sent books from reputable publishers and authors for my reviews and provided them to magazines and online publications like Poker Pages for years.

 

yer looks like a great read but i worry about the info transfer from online to live because these are the net wizzs that wrote the book and i have no intrest in online poker i just want to be a live mtt specailest i dont play cash either just tourneys of around 50 or 60 runners

 

The math is exactly the same online or offline, so you kill the math first then you can enjoy the physiological warfare.

 

yer i get that technicly its all the same odds fractions etc etc but the books i have flicked through (i littrally have done minamul indepth stratergy learning)they dont take into account that poker has taken off every man and his dog is at a table and none of the new gen of players play the game conventiuonally and then there are some outright fish donks that you carnt really calculate against because they littrally could be calling a 3 bet with 29 in the cutoff and this at at a $50 buy in tourney i played 7 hours last night and there was a women at my table that limped evry single hand regaerdless i mean 100% not almost every hand but every hand she only ran until bout top 30 and thats because i limped behind her with 10 10 set the flop then let here bet every street into me with her weak k now iof i had of played that anywhere near i should then i raise she folds or who nos she may have shipped back over the top i won the tourney and made a nice wage for the week but i find that i carnt have any set rules for anyhand because to every time you sit down theres another donk playin atotally diffrent way and if you dont adapt then you will be goneits not the rirght way to approach the game but what else do you do i find this is still the case at $100 buy ins and even the couple of live $220 1 table sng iv playedf there everywhere well atleast in australia anyway

 

Mat the best poker book you will ever read is the one you compile yourself. You have a strong grasp of the game, you want to write a book on live play, so as your playing each situation think of how you would explain it to a classroom.

 

Thanks for that and that's what I beleive to the best players are the ones that play there own style (that's why I'm a massive fan of phil lark) unpredictability is what will take you top

 

The amount of hands you see and train on (online) may only make you an even player on line, but live, you will kill it... trust me, it will look like slow motion.
