Confidence at an all time low so playing badly and clueless.

POKER IS POKER

ONLINE IS HARDER


IF YOU CAN BEAT ONLINE LOWSTAKES MARGINALLY YOU CAN CLUB LIVE PLAYERS OVER THE HEAD OVER AND OVER




Hendon mob is immaterial and gives wrong impressions.

Such a base misunderstanding of variance and how MTT Poker works itt from OP and Aaron.



I am the joke tilt.

LOL this thread is classic.

Yes for cash.

But if the £150 is scared money, how he going to get off and running?

Right I'm on this now. Just spent 20 mins reading a pm from Tittty which really is the best piece writing I have ever seen. Unfortunately I can't share the full post with you as Andy calls a spade a spade and some of the stuff can be quite offensive.
Cliffs :  listen to Pleno, and obv other heros like Stu.

I wanted to respond to everyone individually but the thread has gone ballistic with posts this afternoon and really has snowballed. My head is spinning at 100 mile an hour now and am gonna spend sometime reading the thread then gonna re read Tittys pm again.

Just a quick point. I don't actually enjoy playing hold em. I first started playing stud and draw in pubs n clubs and i find playing DC a much more enjoyable. When I die and go to poker heaven I will be found with all the old boys shooting the breeze.

And now Dave Shallow is here  

Totally agree its a generation thing too. I became blinded by my own run good and arrogance for years.

Hi Jason,

I've only shared a table with you once live, at a DTD500, and to be honest I was very surprised that you consider yourself as a professional poker player.  

Not to do with the standard of your play, as from memory you played very well and then lost a pretty standard flip.  I was surprised mainly because of your attitude at the table.  You seemed like a guy there who plays to have fun/banter.  And if you consider this to be your living then it was just too much weighted towards the table chat/catching up with mates etc on the rail than actually looking as to whats going on at the table.

I would also say that you really can never ever expect to make a living out of live tournaments.  There are a couple of extremely flawed poker players on the UK scene who consider themselves to be pros at 150 to 1k tournies purely because of running hot over a very small sample.  These players couldn't beat 20nl online.

There are a great deal many more of people who are considered and indeed still consider themselves to be live pros who have had their bout of 3/4 year run good come to an end live and now they are under it to the absolute extreme.

I can't really compete with Pleno and Titbean's advice but I will just add to it.  If you think you have a future in poker then you should just dedicate some serious time to grinding online.  You are a popular member of the community here and would have tonnes of people willing to help you on your way.  I don't know what your experience online is, but if you are able to play 6-8 tables then you should very easily have at least a decent shot of making some kind of success at it.

Once you get a solid grounding in online cash, and a nice roll behind you, then a man of your connections in live poker should easily be able to scout out enough private cash live cash games.

With regards to the Hendon Mob discussion....I could name easily a couple of dozen people who would be totally unknown in the live poker community and have far bigger BRs/discipline and poker intelligence than majority of people who are regular well known players at DTD.  They just aren't interested in grinding live tournies because to them it's just not worth their while.  

Anyone who puts any kind of serious weight towards a Hendon Mob page really is totally and utterly clueless about poker.  They are interesting to look at and its nice to have a record of your successful cashes live but thats about it.

Good luck.

Don't listen to him. I can't 'write' well. I just splurge rants via keyboard onto screen.

I'm not very politically correct when i'm ranting so wasn't willing to post it here, it is extremely focused upon Herbie and his mindset so it would probably not be of immense use to many others.


Suffice it to say I stopped writing a chunk when I saw Stus post and just said +1 lol. ty Stu!




Last line is a pretty good summation which shows clearly he read and understood my messages even though I didn't say the last line myself.
