Hey guys how it going as the title says I'm after some sites or hey even some series that I could keep tabs on to help improve my game, I know I ran across this one site that had a whole library of em that was continuously updated but yeah have forgotten that one.

Poker after Dark?

Anything else, mainly I've just read peoples bits and peices on this and that to improve aswell as studying on Pokertracker etc, but I think its time to venture out abit more

Much appreciated.

Full tilt has an academy with a bunch of different videos.

I have tried dueces cracked and grinderschool.com. Grinderschool.com is cheap and is one of the first sites I found with alot of low stakes videos on it! I think they have a subscription for only $10 a month.

I haven't played enough to taste the games in particular, but I found the academy of Absolute Poker very innovative and informative and a crisp clean look and navigation. Mentioning the online training sites that give you a period of free trial I would suggest LeggoPoker, up and coming site not the richest in contents but it covers primarily 6-max ring game in a nice lineup and perfect audio commentary. That is the only format that I play.

You can watch live poker at pokertube.com. Just study how the pro's play, try to find tells, and improve your game.

Bad advice, imo. Watching pros play is fine and entertaining, but the competition that they are playing against is nothing like the competition most of us face. Trying to play like a pro is going to cost you at the micro levels because you won't understand all the thinking behind what they're doing, nor the specifics of the situation that they're applying it to, nor will your opponent's react in the same way that the other pros would do. durrr can fire three barrels and get his opponent to lay down top pair when he has nothing but that's not going to happen at a $10nl online game.

You do know what the game of poker is about and what the poker world is about. You deserve a lot of credit, I am considering you a likeminded friend. Just take a look of what I wrote 4 days ago: im losing hope

Yeah, that reminds of me of a hand on Poker After Dark where Laak had a pair of kings and durrrr fired a huge re-raise on the river with air.

At micro/small stakes, that sort of raise will just lose you a lot of money because NO ONE at those stakes is folding top pair. (Granted, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you know what I mean.) But against Laak, he's a thinking pro who is going to look at that raise and worry that top pair just isn't good enough, and sure enough he mucked it.

This kept bothering me 'cause it's not a good example; it often works the other way.

durrr can get players to call him down with underpairs or worse when he has the nuts because of the relentless pressure he's known to play with. So bad example, but the point I was trying to make is still valid.
