I find myself in an unfamiliar life situation. Due to circumstances, I have a lot more free time than ever. I've decided to get serious about winning at poker.
I've played a bit of poker the last few years. The last 2-3 has been mostly online, weekly bar games, and the occasional totally underrolled B&M visit. Over these years, I am almost exactly breaking even on all of these games, with a slight profit on the bar games.
I know there are two main reasons that I am not winning over time and they kind of go hand in hand: commitment and discipline. Commitment to seriously studying the game in general and my game specifically (not my cards, my game  ), including posting hands! The discipline to not get bored, lay down hands when encountering resistance, give the villains a bit more credit at times, etc.
That's it... time to go post a question or two.
