I started playin online at mvp over the summa...
had lil experience... never read a book... got my a$$ handed to me... lost 500 or so of my own $... +500 or so bonus $... was gonna give it up 4 good... ended up depositin more $ for sports... couldn't resist...and transfered 20$ to poker... played .50/1 dat night...made $800... turned it into g's... my favorite part about that place...is that there are not many players... so u get to the pt where u knw the regulars...nd how they play... time...is also important...I played for hrs a day/night... u will have up swings/down swings...just like sports...long run is the key... the bigger the limit the better the playa for the most part... it also took me awhile to be able to read other players... u don't get to see 'em... so u gotta base it on amount of time it takes to place bet and the amount of the bet... I also had fun talkin chit to other players...even though it ain't kosher...it can be quite profitable... I could go on all day...lol mvp poker don't work at my school...  so I've been focusin on sports... I played a lil at party... but found it more difficult becuz there were so many more players.. also I think I played too low of stakes...so people would play crap...and hit unreal chit...no matter how much ya bet... gonna start readin books... see how good I can get... been playin w. kids at school and makin $...but not close to wht I was b4... hope this helps lates

In my opinion, reading books and watching videos, etc are all fine and good, but the best way to get better is to just continuely play. The more hands you see the better you will get.

1. Learn how to read your opposition. You are going to fold many more hands at the deal than you are going to play. This gives you an opportunity to study the players at the table. Which one always raises if he has anything in the hole? Which one raises just to get more action going. Who knows how to sandbag (something I use quite often and rarely see). Who knows how to bluff correctly? (It doesn't do you any good to lose a bluff and not show your hole cards) 2. Learn how to play each position. This can be critical. If you are under the gun, you are going to be forced to start the action. You may want to blow the pot out and take a smaller profit because you have less control. If you are last to play, you are in the power seat. You can see all that has come before you. 3. Read the comments made by the players. You would be surprised to see just how many idiot macho jocks are out there trying to hustle some girl. You can remove their money from them easily. 4. Play at a table that you are comfortable with. This is most important. If you are playing at a table that bets the max everytime out, and is turning the game into nothing more than a lucky draw, leave. You have to be mentally at your best, and being uncomfortable at a table will adversely affect your judgement.

One thing I've learned is always go after people with smaller stacks than you have...
In the end it pays off. If you have $ 1000 in chips and someone else has $ 5000 you bet $ 100 , they call and raise to $ 500 it never pays to call someone with more $ you are both betting 10% , but $500 to you is worth a lot more than $500 to somone with $ 5000 But if the situation is reversed , you can see how you can slowly take $ from smaller players..

I prefer to play on live tables. Things are slower so you get more time to make the right decision and you can get a better read on people.

wanna win online? play limit. i play 20-40 limit. ill play NL live all day. But online its a joke anymore. any scrub who deposits 100 bucks can sit down at a 1-2 NL table and go all in every hand.
i dont play much online anymore. id rather just sneak into a casino in AC.
