Wow, I don't feel like one of the old guys anymore. Did you mean since "the" sixties or "your" sixties?.

Oh, welcome.

What do you play? (Try to play) NLH 6max, Heads-up, have played live MTTs

At what stakes do you play? Mostly $5-10 NLH and $7 SnGs, try higher stakes sometimes, and have not been unsuccessful but know I should play to my roll, so don't do this often.

How long have you been playing? On and off for 5 years, not really taken it too seriously.

Where do you mostly play? PStars

Why did you come to FTR? I guess the thing I've really been lacking is having people around me who know what they're talking about rather than claim to, I want to improve my game, i'm overall a losing player.

Do you have any goals (and how can we help)? To beat the micro stakes (I'm finding it really hard - but not due to the standard of play) and to generally listen and improve my game. I'd also like to be able to talk poker and vocalise my decisions - right now I now a lot of theory but have gone on gut feeling for the most part - I am unable to explain this. I'm a student of poker.

Age: 25

Game: $25NLHE

Experience: I was introduced to HE when I was 12 through the Hoyle Casino PC game. I've played since then, but it wasn't until recently that I've taken serious efforts to become a strong player.

Site: I'm American, so I play Bodog. It's not a wonderful site, but it's good enough. Here's hoping poker will be legalized

Goals: Ideally I'd love to play poker as a career, but I have a long ways to go to reach that mark. For now I'm lurking the FTR forums for help. This site has, in a short time, improved my game. I'm playing winning poker and hope to continue.

What do you play? 6-Max NLHE cash games and Holdem MTT's

At what stakes do you play? Micro stakes! I just moved up from 2NL to 4NL, hoping to keep winning so i can move up to 10NL-25NL before years end (not sure if this is realistic to be honest).

How long have you been playing? A little over a month now. I started playing with play chips after watching the WSOP on TV and got hooked (what a typical fish, i know). I started playing sng free rolls and won 15 bucks, so i started playing micro stakes, built it up to 80 dollars in 2 weeks and lost it again in 3 days. That's when i discovered FTR. I've built it back to over 100 bucks thanks to you guys.

Where do you mostly play? Luvin Poker

Why did you come to FTR? I want to get better to be able to handle a little higher stakes and see how far i can go. I'm religious with my study of poker since I found you guys and I'm having a lot more fun playing since. I know my 10.5BB/100 over 20,000 hands isn't to be taken for granted, so I'll take all the advice i can get!

Do you have any goals: I want to get my bankroll up to 10NL-25NL by years end, not really sure if I'm rushing things (realistic or too modest?) or how much I've lost out on rake bonuses since I've never deposited a dime. I'll start posting hands to see how bad I've been playing; I can't read hands for shit most of the time, i still spew chips with AA to sets and can't fold straights to turn and river flushes, i call too much, etc.... I need all the help i can get!

(Never Mind about the hand history, seems the site i play on isn't supported.)

Why did you come to FTR? lurked for a while after a balla told me i should be posting hhs in forums for feedback, realized i wasnt as good at poker as i thought i was, decided to to get better
Do you have any goals (and how can we help)? well, i guess my goals are pretty much the same as everyone else's here (to become a balla), so let me just put it like this: I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.

i would love to get rich from poker, but i choose to play it because of how much there is to learn from studying it, especially when it applies to things that have nothing to do with poker

hello.
My name is Michael.
I am 55.
I have never played but my step son wants to start a "club" with a $100 buy in and at the end of the season, the best player gets the money to bank roll entry into a cash tourney. I figured i better learn a little so I can play a few games before I get cleaned out. I bought some books and came here from looking for a glossary.
Who knows, I might be good at it in which case I will be driving a red Aston Martin.

What do you play? NLHE 6 max cash

At what stakes do you play? 4NL

How long have you been playing? On and off for several years. Not exactly sure how long.

Where do you mostly play? Merge network (RPM Poker)

Why did you come to FTR? I can't remember how I found this site. I've been reading the BC forum for a long time.

Do you have any goals (and how can we help)? Because of the legal situation in the US, I don't have any specific monetary or stake goals. I am mainly playing just to learn. I have a lot of problems with my game that I want to correct. Mainly I'm not aggressive enough and I don't put people on accurate ranges. I would be profitable by now if I would have played more hands and spent some time analyzing hands over these few years.

Where do you mostly play? On the internet (Winamax which is a french poker room). I play on this room because there's the better offer for bonus.

Why did you come to FTR? A french poker player thanked FTR in a post after winning a bracelet so I decide to have a look on this forum

Hello to you all.
My name is Paul.
I'm 32.
I enjoy playing pot limit omaha hi/lo and no limit texas hold'em tournaments, sit and gos and cash tables.
I spend most my time playing online at Cake where I've had most of my success.
You've seen me there before and here now as Master P or Raisy Daisy perhaps.
I'm very proud to say I started with nothing playing online.
It's been challenging and rewarding to build a bankroll from scratch.
I recently took a 2nd job as a holdem dealer and I enjoy getting paid to learn to deal and play hold'em.
I really enjoy the atmosphere.
It's a long way from the home games I grew up with-for better and worse.
I hope to take my humble poker savings already withdrawn and learn how to transition my online play and focus my efforts on live play.
I'm not sure how much money I need or feel comfortable with as a starting stack for 1-2 for example.
Thanks for taking the time to hear me out.

Hey!

I'm a 28-years-old Finnish willing to beat the micro stakes. I'm playing currently 6max 10NL HE and I'm quite confident of my game there. I have 50 000 hands SH HE hands under my belt. Therefore I really consider myself to be a rookie. Still need to play approx another 50 000 hands on my current level before moving up if the gods of pokers allow me. 8)

The weaknesses I want to get rid of are
* Playing a bit too tight
* Bad hand reading on latter streets
* Problems identifying the most profitable spots to CBet flop and multi barrel.
* Wasting money in weak big sized bluffs on river.
* Being result oriented

During the last six months I have played 26k hands and have my all-in EV +$180 while results +$50. Running bad lead me "tweaking my game" which lead to awful game for two months and I burned quite too many buy-ins spewing around. That's one aspect in my game more I want to get rid of.

What I hope from FTR community is a chance to polish my hand reading skills. I hope I can give back some useful ideas and thoughts for other players in the community.

What do you play? NLHE FR

At what stakes do you play? 10NL

How long have you been playing? Played live in small stakes tournaments for about 5 years but have played online in the last year and am taking the game seriously now.

Why did you come to FTR? A player at the casino recommended the site to me.

What do you play?: NL holdem

At what stakes do you play?: 0.02 - 0.05 cash, 5$ or 10$ SnG

How long have you been playing?: amateur games with friends for a few years. Decided to put some more serious effort into this game at the beginning of march.

Where do you mostly play? GD Poker (italian site)

Why did you come to FTR? Google search

Do you have any goals (and how can we help)? I have a good job, wich I enjoy a lot, so I'm not chasing any "wanna make a living out of poker" mirage.

Right now, the first medium-term goal is to play 30k hands at the 0.02-0.05 limits with 3 BB/100 win rate. At that point I'll consider what to do. If not even breaking even after 30k hands, probably this game is not for me so I'll find another hobby.

What do you play? Mostly NLHE, but I spend some time in 8-game, 5-card draw and badugi, too. Lately 100% NLHE
At what stakes do you play? 5NL
How long have you been playing? 25+ total poker playing years, 6+ dabbling in online games, 2+ home game SNG's.

Do you have any goals (and how can we help)? I'm moving up from play chips to real monies.
Help I need: You all probably know better than I do, given that I've learned about aspects of poker that I had never even thought of time and again since I started reading these forums.

P.S. Great showing on the Big Game, Courtney!
