Sicilian
We play against each other regularly
I rate you highly, and your game has certainly improved a bundle whereas of course some in that cardroom are not interested in progressing or won't, you seem to have done. No idea if you have consciously worked to improve your game or not, I suspect you have
Hope your recent run continues, unless I am in the comp with you!
Record keeping...honest record keeping... is the start, growing a bankroll to be able to compete selectively at higher levels and then making money there that is the next stage for you I think.
Playing any of the Springfest with your winnings?

Posted on: Today at 07:33:17 amPosted by: Longy Long term, if you are a good player you make $$$$$$$$$$$'s. If you are not you lose $$$$$$$. That is all.
You don't necessarily need to be a 'good' player to make money (although it helps). You just need to find players that are worse than you. Table selection one of the most important aspects of a "good" player. My original response may be a touch flippant but i think it is pretty true, how do you keep score in poker, how much money you make relative to everyone else. We could into semantics about the fact that someone winning at 15c/30c is not as "good" at poker as someone losing at $5/10 but the player at 5/10 cannot be described as "good" player as he is playing out of his/her depth.

If he's playing regularly with that big fish Tightend, his table selection is quite good

I think an easy way to find out how good you are is to start posting hands and commenting on other people's hands on strat forums. Where ever you decide to post it's usually becomes clear after a while who the good posters are. If you always jump in first to answer people and your advice lines up with the good players....
Just watch out for the people who are good, authoritive writers but crap poker players who give awful advice in some long old waffley but excellently written post that makes it seem better than it really is.

But that's in the long term. If I stick at the feeble levels I play at, then in the long term I will regularly earn $$$. But for me to improve my skills to earn $$$$$$ I'll need to spend some time making mistakes against better players, in which case I'll be earning -$$$$ for a while until I get the hang of it.

Not necessarily, below is a quote from a thread about a year ago when we talked about a similar subject. http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=8577.msg185484#msg185484Rather than stepping up to a higher level and losing money making mistakes against better players why not identify which areas of your game you would need to improve to step up a level while still playing at the lower levels. Then when you feel as though you have improved enough to compete at the next level you can step up and hopefully not lose as much.

observation skills and spotting patterns and norms are necessary weapons in the world of poker so when something doesn't go to plan you can spot it instantly. ok, so this was a little easier to spot than most - but still
