And I really suck at live poker.

I plan to improve though, once I get more time to play (about 3 weeks away) I expect to go on a major heater and play proficiently and prolifically (if that is even a word).

Hang in there, we can beat this addiction together... I mean, we can prosper together.
I absolutely 100% mean no offense when I say the the following:

You plan to go on a heater? Once you get more time to play? After you just said you don't spend enough time studying? But you plan to improve? Am I the only person who sees a lot wrong with this?
Sorry, forgot to put the [sarcasm] tag on it.

Of course I am going to only go on a heater once I improve... that was kind of the point. I forget sometimes that sarcasm doesn't post well in messages.


EDIT: Ok, so that response sucked too.

Let me explain a little about MY psychology... if I don't work to improve I won't. My response to Robb was more about comiserating that I know I need to improve as well, and I need to study to do so. I don't feel I have a grasp yet on what to study, but time is a major factor in my limiting my studying so far. Once time opens up for me (the weather changes, etc.) I will have more time to dedicate to working on deeper analysis... yes I know, what is the point of playing if you are not winning, etc... but I feel I am improving marginally by playing at my current ratio... but more study and time analyzing would definately improve me.

In the long run, I see this post by Robb and my response less as a 'whine' session as someone pointed out, and more as a 'I'm going to get off my ass and improve' post.
