Hi guys!
Okay. So I play poker regularly, every single day as much as I possibly can. If it wasnt for my fulltime job I would be playing fulltime if I could! I'm 22 and I've been playing ever since the whole "Poker Boom" broke out like 6 or 7 years ago! (obviously not for that long online though!)
I play No Limit Holdem, and play MTT's, STT's and Cash Games... MTT's being my preferred gametype because of the opportunity to win big.
There are ways that I can improve my game that I am aware of, one being bankroll management perhaps as I like to play at as higher limit as I can afford. However I am very clued up on poker theory, always learning. I'm not stupid, pretty bright and I believe I am a pretty decent player.
I know that everyone says it, but my luck is just awful. Be it Cash games, or STT's constantly being donked by far worse players with far worse hands only to be sucked out on. MTT's I have regularly got pretty close to FT finishes and have made final tables in the past but its been a while, but again just rediculous beats. Last night I came 50th or so out of 1.5k, allin preflop with AA vs 87 and lose... I know it happens but the frequency does seem quite alarming.
As I said, I'm not stupid. I know I have an edge on a lot of players out there, however Im not claiming to be the best in the world by any means! I would estimate, that maybe 75% of the time I will be knocked out of a tournament having made the correct move or being way ahead and being sucked out on. I find it very difficult to build any sort of bankroll because everytime I manage to make it healthy I just go on a rediculous run of bad beats etc.
So... If im making good calls and Im ahead most of the time, do I carry on doing what Im doing or am I doing something fundamentally wrong here? As Ive said yes there are times when I will be behind etc but a vast majority of the time I'll play a hand perfectly and get sucked out on.
Are there any Poker Mentors I can contact FOC for advice? I just want to improve my game as much as possible and any advice from seasoned players who maybe play for a living or make a steady income from poker would be much appreciated!!
