Message: [QUOTE="Shoestringx, post: 520110, member: 14693"] Do you just play poker[B] just[/B] for fun ? [COLOR=black]-For the most part I play for fun, but I do take it serious and try to play properly.[/COLOR] Do you ever intend to move up in limits and how do you intend to do this ? -Yes I plan on moving up limits, I intend to do this by making enough money to make it feasable within my bankroll. Have you a solid plan of action to move you game to the next level ? -At first I didn't, but in the New Year I decided to use "Bonus Whoring" to help to achieve this. I have a very limited budget as I am saving to go back to school, so poker money is very thin. I deposited $50 at Poker.com to take advantage of thier relatively easy to clear bonus and recently withdrew $120. Now I have moved $100 to Ultimate Bet and I hope to clear my bonus there. Basically taking advantage of bonuses to get my bankroll started. Do you find yourself tilting and calling against the odds too much ? -I used to do this a lot, which is why my first couple deposit's were lost, I have managed to get away from this recently, and when I find myself tilting I just suht down poker and go to the gym. Do you re-deposit on a regular basis, and why do you think this is, are you constantly losing ? -I deposited $25 twice on pokerstars about a year ago, lost it both times. Recently though I final tabled one of thier 10 FPP $250 tournies, then made a couple final tables in $4.40 180 people and withdrew $100. Earlier this year I deposited $50 in Poker.com as per my plan above. This would make me currently about even poker wise, adn though it isn't uch I'm quite proud of myself. Would you perfer to be playing at a higher limit because you thing youll win more money from the "better" players ? -Better players doesn't mean more money. I would like to move up in limits and play better players because of the challenge involved that appeals to my competitive nature. Do you find yourself taking "shots" at a higher limit ? -Nope, when I started my plan above I played at $10NL (to much for my bankroll, but the lowest level that I could clear a bonus at) and I haven't moved up yet. When I get my bankroll to an acceptable level to play $25NL I will move up (I would like $300+ to be comfortable) Do you (or can you) identify leaks in your game, do you even bother to look ? -Yes and no. I have been reading books and of course following the helpful advice from this forum (other forums too) and I review my hand histories. But I realize that I need to do this more and I need to get Poker Tracker, but for now it just isn't in the budget. Good post, I enjoyed reading the other replys and replying. [/QUOTE]
