How would you descibe your current poker results? Knowledge?
Are you a beginner? Intermediate?

I'll tailor an answer accordingly. :)

I've never played the 180's before, have a decent understanding of Poker, play pretty ABC, have more patience for Live poker believe it or not. Been playing mainly in Sky for the last few years and that is 6 max. Results have been pretty up and down, I find that on sky I would keep switching games from DYM to Tournaments and Cash. While I have the time and to keep my mind occupied I want to focus on a format and try and get as good as possible. I'll be playing most days and can play day or night to suit.

I find that when I have found the patience and concentration I get better results (obvious!!) but I will be going to the Casino less (usually 3/4 times a week to just once a week) so want to invest more time online.

I may want to also run some Tournaments alongside (unless advised otherwise)

Thank for your help, any other Info needed?

The regs grind out 5-25% and have swings consisting of thousands of games. They mainly consist of push/fold boringness.

This chart should help a bit if you do decide to continue. They are pretty much a poor mans spin and go unless your an expert with the charts. Its not very exciting poker imo ofc.

Thanks for that, I can see what u mean about the push/fold boringness. It may not be the game for me but I'll have a good read up and play around before I commit to anything.

$3.50+R 180s are a bit more fun

I used to grind these and although a bit monotonous I enjoyed printing money. Alas they are tougher these days.

Gotta say last night was the first night I played them solidly for A good few hours and although I had some success I found them to be truly boring, absolutely none of the fun of a tournament and very much geared towards correct decision making with no room for error. Probably not going to be for me I'm afraid.
