I'll correct that. If you're just playing ot have fun, then play whatever stikes your fancy. But if you want to get good at poker then you need to pick a speciality and get good at it 1st. Changing games won't help you get good. it will just distract you and burn time.

just my opinion.
I fully agree. I started with limit, as most people probably do, since most of the popular literature is geared towards that game. However, you set me on the road to NL back in November, but you probably don't remember that.

Novenber, 2005 is when I decided to follow your advice and stick to one game, one limit, and, in short, to start learning how to play poker.

Long ways to go, but it's going to be downturns like this which make me a better player.

But thanks to you, AOK, for setting me on the right road. I think that I would've quit if I didn't follow your advice.

The downturn seems to be over, by the way. I was able to make some lay downs that I wasn't making a few days ago. Time will tell.
