Training sites and Leakbuster

[mrjoshua1988]

I've been lurking here for a while and figured it's about time i joined a poker forum. I've been playing on stars a few months now after playing live for a couple years, i'm currently beating 25NL over 200K+ hands and looking to take shots at 50NL soon.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with training sites and/or leakbuster for HEM and how useful these things have been for improving your game.

I just seem to be at a point where i'm struggling with what i should be studying away from the tables, a lot of players i know say the most important thing is just putting in tons of volume at this point. What are your guys thoughts?

Keep moving up until you get stuck, then worry.

EZ game.

I am/was at the same point - tons of information available, but it's knowing where to start. I'd do a combination of stuff if you can afford it.

I have leakbuster and find it quite helpful but I'm not sure I can say it's worth the price, however I probably haven't used it enough to get my moneys worth, it would help if the documentation was better and helped you get more out of it. Alone, I don't think it's the best thing to do by a long way.

I am a member of DC which has some good videos, I have heard people say bluefire is better, I dunno, I'm nowhere near finished watching the stuff I have found on DC yet. The sweat style videos I find especially helpful, just watching someone else play and hearing a coach point out mistakes and reasoning for doing things.

Getting some coaching has helped me a ton, it's really beneficial just to have someone to discuss hands with who can point out mistakes and question your reasoning and really get you to think about spots logically. I believe Bikes on this forum is again opening up bookings for coaching - I highly recommend him, I've had a few sessions now and they've really helped.

I guess I just get a little information overload when trying to absorb articles etc. I'm assuming a lot of people get stuck in the same 'middle ground' between being a complete retard and someone who is willing to work to move up.

I've used GrinderSchool and found it to be an incredible value for microstakes players. I've also had coaching from Carroters and thought both were worth every penny.
