Hate to be a downer, but if you are having to ask this kind of question, it is unlikely you will be successful in turning over a decent profit without a lot of coaching.

Its 2013 and the games not so easy

Very valid point and tbf i think i have indicated on prev threads that as an older guy i don't easily grasp the concepts that the younger/better players comfortably understand.  But i have been around this site for a little while and am really only asking for some ideas above what i have considered for my self.  I suppose a little confirmation really. ( I am also not the greatest pensman, LDO,  but really admire those that are)

That being said i do not believe that if i applied my self in a mature and organised way that these concepts are beyond my grasping.  As a more mature player it does give me some advantages, i do not want or need to set the world on fire, i certainly don't want to get money to blow on hookers and blow (although i do like to read about those that do ) . I can work within a BR which the fact that i have stayed in the micros for so long testifies, in fact when i cash i draw it out and spend it on the family, holidays and the like.  If i say i will grind X  for X  hours that is exactly what i will do. ect ect ect

As a young man i rose through the ranks of the Royal Enginners to become, at that point, the youngest Sergeant Major in the corp. This drive to be the best is in my make up and if i decide to succeed i will.  It is all of these little points that is making me ask for advice that is all.


As a recreational player i read lots but dismiss lots, in future maybe i need to get stuck in more theory and ask more questions.

Thanks again for your response.

Really admire your post here an good luck an I actually even though u are in the older generation ( im stuck in the middle I guess!) hope an know u will succeed with your attitude.

Always thought he was underrated. Not an out an out best goalkeeper for everybody but fits barcas style well.

A goalkeeper fitting a teams style? Only way I can see that is with great distribution and is he particularly good at this? Genuine question, I don't know.

you beat me to the send button stressing my concerns to the above !

Always thought he was underrated. Not an out an out best goalkeeper for everybody but fits barcas style well.

what kind of goalkeeper suits a team like Barc ? Can you really say a goalkeeper has to be offensive minded to suit Barc? Aren't goalkeepers there for defence only an can never really suit a team like Barc lol? Perhaps to make the Spanish league more open they should not be allowed one but play a sweeper instead!

The ball always at the other end of the pitch so it's a bit hard to judge him fairly as been inactive for long periods of the game has to be a negative factor in producing your best form! Suppose from a mangers point of view that can't be bad.

I always found having monetary goals in poker is a bad idea, basically anything that distracts away from trying to play well is a bad idea, imo.

Find a game or format you're used to, have enough money to play and just grind away, if you run good you'll have more money than you're supposed to and if you run poorly you'll prolly break even/win a bit.

If you seriously wanted to grind it out, exploiting rake-back and rewards systems is defo the best route.

otherwords play cash right ?

Do you mean USD or GBP?  Obviously big difference given exchange rates.

Personally I find live cash to be easiest way to grind up decent sums on a regular basis. The competition is alot softer!

$20 k (£12.5 k) is only 1k per month, which is easy even at 0.5/1.

EDIT: I don't play full time, just a lot part time lol  As stated above, doing it full time is a different kettle of fish.  A full time player would be better placed to comment on mindset etc

Playing cash is defintely the way to go for 2 reasons which would give u more free time.
Its easier as you can game select
An you can start an stop whenever you choose unlike mtts where you play to the rest of the worlds schedule.

Finished at 4am, I'd like it to finish at 2am at the latest, would have been around that time with 500 runners, possibly just a few tweaks needed then. Well done to Martin Frey, another loyal local DTD regular wins again, pretty amazing how our regulars do so well in the big events

Dont need to change a thing

Wins the poor man's grand slam.

GUKPT main, DTD deep stack and a WPT national.

Congrats

Well done Ian ! I'm a firm believer in good things happen to good people and regarding   you an your son it's obvious the apple dosnt fall  far from the tree. Enjoyed the banter an the kindness this weekend !  Big congrats

How far from city centre is the location?

Smack next to - in fact part of - Edinburgh Waverley, which is the UK's 2nd largest railway station.

The Balmoral is utterly splendid, too. You can take Afternoon Tea in the Gentleman's Lounge whilst a harpist struts their stuff, on a real harp. Don't get that in a Days Inn.

thank you
