Hi Plami!
I play Sng's now to clear my bonus. Its like when i play 3 of them a day then i have my bonus cleared on time.
But i really sucked at SSS and liked BSS much better, its just more exciting when u can vary your bet sizes.
I never plan to invest my own money in poker. When i crash the microlimits then i do not need to. If i can't do that, then it will be stupid thing to do - for me. I really believe that the plan your friend taught to you will work.
Good luck!

Hey mate,
Thk for the wishes 
but dunno with investing your money u look at the game from diferent way cuz when u play with a bonus deposit like this from ps it`s like if u losse u don`t care I though the same as u that will never invest my money into poker but after playing 2 and a half month with the deposit from ps i realized that i really like the game and i am ready to study more and more and to progress. For now the BSS is going good today for 1 hour sesion of 4 tables was like +10.6$ and some rakeback which i will recive tomorrow cuz in the room which i play Pokerhost the rakeback is dailly. U can try some coaching if u don`t have irl friends who are familiar with poker. To be honnest i never tried a coaching watcch before that, but was really really helpfull for me Add me on skype if u want we can share some info and stats
Best Regards Plami

what you need is pokertracker and good eye on your opponents. If you have feel that some are 'running hot' or winning 'too often' then sit with them and basically datamine them. Those worthy. See them on poker-edge.com first. As soon as you find winning player on your limit then study them and see what they're doing. It won't be many of them but once you find one you're set. They're winning because they're probably doing something right 
It helped me to crush NL2 on Party. From first it seemed to be impossible and I thought the site is made of crazy cheats. But I was playing bad. Let's face it. Be honest. I found this guy that I thought he was cheat. He was running hot too. I studied his game and I found out that he had good system that worked on Party. And I moved on from there..
I didn't know what to do on stars tho. Their tables are gettin too passive or too aggressive at times. And I didn't know what to do again. So I was working on it. Had some sweat sessions and looked up some strategies. And I think I've learned good ABC poker from it. I am no more losing even though sometimes having setbacks when I run exceptionaly bad. But rarely doing mistakes.
If you're long term stuck then it is probably because you have leaks in your game. Fix them and crush them I would also suggest play as much tables as makes you comfortable. Then you wouldn't have time to think about anything else but poker.. You'll start running good afterwards 
I have something else I've just discovered. I posted how I'm planning to apply it in my blog, and I'm posting it here too.
This link leads to a little over 2 years of 2+2 knowledge: The "Concept of the Week". The CotW is a specific post aimed at various areas of microstakes cash games, and they seem IMMEDIATELY APPLICABLE. For example, the first four are about PokerStove and using it for ranges and equity, table selection (Oh man I need this so bad), positional awareness pre-flop, and blind stealing. All these are useful tools to add to one's arsenal.
Poker is a game of small edges, and there's a huge amount of edges I'm sure we're all missing, but this ought to help bridge the gap a little
So I discovered the joy of MTTs by placing in the money in a freeroll on Cake. After some thought, I decided to split my time between cash and MTTs according to serendipity. The procedure would be that, when it was time to play, I would look for suitable MTTs. If there were any starting within the next 90 minutes, I'd register for them and play them; and if there weren't, I'd play 60 minutes of cash, likely two-tabling but perhaps three-tabling.
In preparation for this, I topped my account up using moneybookers. One of my reasons for doing that is that the minimum cashout by check on Cake is $500, and if I deposit via moneybookers I can eventually cash out a smaller amount. I also made sure Cake support (who are wonderfully quick to respond to contact) had copies of all my documents so there would be no hassle later on.
Well, my new strategy started out badly, thanks to indiscipline. I saw a low-stakes tournament that was too juicy to pass up. It was a 1K guaranteed $10+1 rebuy that had only about 30 entrants a few seconds before the end of late registration. The arithmetic was just so tempting that I violated BRM and registered. Then immediately rebought. Then, two minutes later, added on. And then finished 16th, with $33 down the drain.
Something similar happened yesterday evening. I saw a $20+2 freezeout with only 15 entrants. Again it was mere seconds from end of late registration. It wasn't a guaranteed, but the bottom prize was about $50. I couldn't resist. I registered--and was quickly elminated.
I've also played some $1+.10 tournaments and one $2+.10 freezeout, but haven't finished in the money in any of them. The real money tournaments are definitely tougher than the freerolls.
I thought about playing SNGs but, on Cake, the SNG board is dead whenever I look at it. I've seen players waiting three hours for an SNG to fill up.
Now, however, I have a bankroll on, of all places, Full Tilt. I hate Full Tilt savagely, but am thinking about playing there simply because it's the busiest site I'm registered on, and I do have about $70 there that I can't get out. I've posted on the Full Tilt subforum asking for advice, but so far have only received one suggestion that I commit suicide. I'll await some guidance from Full Tilt veterans, if any is forthcoming, before deciding what to do. Any FT play would not be trackable through PokerStrategy, but that's not a major consideration.
I know I've alienated many people with derogatory comments about young players, and I regret that. Nothing can be done about it now.
To spur the discussion on, here's another hand. I took a non-intuitive line on it, and I'll post said line tomorrow. In the meantime, hopefully we can get some discussion on what everyone might do. This hand was at an NL5 table.
Pot started at 0.07 because the CO posted.
I hold 9 :heart:9 
in the big blind.
CO checks.
SB calls 0.05
BB checks.
Pot: 0.17
Flop: K :diamond:K :heart:8 
SB bets 0.11
Hero ?
Tomorrow I shall post what line I took: This was an interesting hand, so I think we can get two points of discussion on it: What move to make, and then the validity of mine.
SB is betting 2/3rds the pot out of position. The size of the bet suggests someone who knows what s/he is doing. It's not a contibet because SB just called--and, needing to call only 3 cents with the pot already at 12 cents (not 7 ) might have called with a fairly broad range of hands. I would say the calling range in this case even includes K8.
There isn't enough information about the two villains' playing history to say whether either is a chronic bluffer or hyperaggressive. But there _is_ enough information in the strategy articles on PS to know that you give up small or medium PP if you don't flop a set and someone bets out of position.
Conclusion: hero should fold.
(Noting that I'm a losing player and fairly inexperienced, so if I'm wrong about anything let me know.)
WTF? Check 99 with two limpers? Raise it 6xBB, if they call, cbet flop and take it down most of the time, easy peasy ♦
Hi Salivanth,
first of all, you definitely should raise preflop (4-5 bb), you would probably make them fold or pay "a lot" to see flop. And your situation postflop also would be better (allow you to show more agression if you would hit the flop, maybe bluff them out, if you wouldn´t).
In your situation, 3-way pot, such a scary flop and without further reads (SB villains post flop agression), I would fold.
Cheers,
Ondra
Yeah, I found out I definitely should have raised pre-flop here from the hand evaluation forums.
The move I actually made was to re-raise to 33c. The reason I did this was because I thought that my opponents would almost certainly not have a King, but if I re-raised, they would think I did. They both folded, but I certainly believed I misplayed the hand, for reasons I go into a bit more detail in on my blog and I'm too lazy to repost them here. Basically, I came to the incorrect conclusion about why I raised, and obviously should have raised pre-flop.
You should have raised preflop, but postflop I certainly wouldn't be folding the flop. I'd either call and re-evaluate on the turn or I would raise it up
Hmm I don't think so. I moved to Pokerstars last August and haven't played on Party since. Although I may have played you before then
hey belayed. Sure took me long enough to find your blog!! any reports on your twisted thinking of your op?? Are you putting in more work off the tables yet? I have a family member who thinks freerolls are the way to go, and hes sick of losing real $$. He thinks it isnt possible to move up to new stakes without going on tilt. Hope you dont end up like him!!
anywhoo...while im waiting for my mcdonalds to arrive i will say this:
I say who i am and where im going in my blog if you want to check that. You really should take a look at my last graph of nl2 though. it in the last post of my blog. its siiiiick even thru 7K hands is just steady progress...even the redline sits at the same level thruout all the hands. and i felt like i was in control of each of the 7k hands except for 2 last night when i was on tilt...but needless to say, my game is seriously improving as far as consistency goes. And its all thanks to the hard work ive put in off the tables. I know nothing was handed to me nor do I feel that I was instantly one day struck with the ability to fold TPTK on a drawless board when i get raised on the turn or even the flop. I didnt just all of a sudden gain this thick burlap sack type skin when it comes to bad beats without reviewing hundreds of them and understanding how the opponent was thinking at the time, and how i could have possibly not even gotten into the situation..blah blah blah..No I had to work extremely hard to gain the poker mindset I have today, may 15th 2012 as compared to may 1st 2012.
The growth has been that rapid for me as far as thinking goes. I have $100 in my poker bankroll today. I had $15 2 months ago when i deposited. I have burned through my starting capital fast and like 2 other unsuccessful attempts at maintaining bankrolls at 888 poker, 770 poker, and pokerstars. The big thing for me though has been stopping before i lose too much and playing within my limits...maintaining a bankroll for a long period of time. I have conquered these things enough that they dont leak huge amounts of $$ like they used to anymore. This is all thanks to trusting in the pokerstrategy.com process and never resting on what i think i know.
you should know that i dont even consider myself a winning player. just a microstakes reg who plans on getting the hell outta dodge asap. meaning moving up limits. growing..and allowing the growth continnually.
thanks for the read
