Hello Tagpoker

Darwinator · Hello Tagpoker

Hi guys. My name is Darwin, i live in Vancouver Canada and I have just turned twenty yesterday. I've been playing poker for several years, mostly on just for fun with my friends. i started taking poker seriously and started playing online poker a few weeks ago and have not been doing very well.

I started with $150 dollar bankroll, and originally it stayed around that number. Recently i lost a few games at the micro levels in a row, had a bit of tilt, and in the last few hours i lost roughly 4 or 5 games in a row at 5 and 6 dollar tables... I admit that i was on tilt and made some bad decisions, but i had been losing before that anyway...

i started playing all types of games, but have switched to HUSNG's in the last couple of days. Currently with HUSNG my stats are:

Games played: 170
Roi: -10%
total profit: -$58 (about $40 of which was in the last few hours.)

I'm frustrated with these results because i can't tell what mistakes I'm making, and it feels like the more disciplined i am the more i regret my play in most spots. I hate losing and I'm willing to work very hard and put in as much time as i need to so that i can improve. I'm currently in college studying to become a teacher and i volunteer as well, but i have several nights available to dedicate to improving my game.

I think this site is an amazing idea and I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here. I'm very glad to have found it and cannot wait to get started.

With that in mind, what would you guys recommend for the HUSNG courses? I want to improve as much as i can, but right now with school and my own personal life money is pretty tight. I was thinking about taking the free course and then seeing how i play after that, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if i'd be able to qualify for that either, or if i'm smart enough to learn that way. what do you guys think?

Hello and welcome. My advice would be to try and use the free material on the site, all the videos, leakfinders etc. Work through some hands that people have posted, think what you would do and go through people's responses. See how they differ. Do a couple of these a day. Dont be afraid to post up hands that your struggled with or felt you played badly. People arent gonna flame you for sub-optimal play (This isnt 2+2!)

I am currently going through the full course, and its working wonders in terms of seeing where I have gone wrong, and bad habits and leaks that have crept in my game over several years. When you can, Id say bite the bullet, take some money out your roll and do either the condensed or full course.

Hello mate and welcome to the site. It's a great place to be if you really want to transform your game. There are lots of free videos, great guys in the forum and much more to get you on the right track.

The courses I've put together are also designed to really give you a kick start in to playing a solid, winning game by giving you my personal game plan to tackling these games and the various player types you'll find yourself up against.

Good luck.

tilt control is something u will always struggle with but i am sure if u take in everything on this site u will be a better player for it. like it was stated above this isnt 2+2 and u will only find help in these forums

so just as an update. My current stats are

Games played: 304
Roi: -6%
Total profit: -$55

So it looks like i've basically balanced out, but there's not much change. the thing is that i've been winning more games than i'm losing, but the rake is what's really hurting me, because even though my winning is above 50% the rake is keeping me at even.

Does anyone know how i can get the rakeback if i already have an account on full-tilt? if you guys know please let me know.

As for the courses. I think i'll play around 500-600 games and see how things go before i make my decision. It seems to me like the style i play is similar and different to the TAG poker style, based on the free videos i've seen.

Anyway, hope you guys are all running well, and thanks for posting so much, i think i'm learning a lot from what you guys are posting, and obviously from the videos as well.

Hope you guys are running well!

Try rakebackpro.com for retro-adding RB.

But trust, me it'll take a while & you'll have to pester both full-tilt & RBP.

Maybe if your style of play is different to what I play in the videos and your not having the results you hope for playing your way then maybe think about changing your style of play? Rolling Eyes

Post flop is the only real area that you win or lose these games, crush them or break even. What I do pre flop has little baring on my results it's just the way I personally choose to play.

welcome

I definatly agree with broker that postflop is were these games are won or lost as most fish still play preflop ok (not always but alot of them aren't horrible preflop) so i would definatly recommend changing up your style and watching as many videos as you can
