Hey guys,
I'm currently playing 5nl full ring on pokerstars, and I use pokertracker..
Now I daily review the hands I've palyed, But I was wondering, what more can I do besides reviewing my hands and reading books?
I've heard about leakbuster, Is it worth the money? Or maybe something else like that?
Should I join a training site like bluefirepoker?
Thx in advantage =)

If you are going to be a ring game player more so than a Tourney guy then bluefire is prolly your best investment, Everything I have heard is that is the ultimate site for a cash game focused player.

Overall, the use of a training site is the next step I would suggest since you are already reading books and monitoring your play.

Hmkay, It's just that those training sites all cost around 29$ a month, I've got 220$ on my pokerstars account.. And I don't plan on spending more on poker, I just want to build my bankroll up with this.. As you see I'm playing 5NL, So compared to my br it's expensive to pay for a training site every month, or does it really pay of that well?

How about leakbuster? is it worth the money?

Leakbuster is definitely a good investment if you play cash games. It has quite a bit of good training content, both written and video stuff. i had a couple training site memberships, and cancelled them after getting it. because there was so much content in the program.
I did find Poker Zion through the Leakbuster software, and because i liked their coaching/teaching approach so much , i ended up signing up for both the Roots and Iron Lion courses. Both courses are about 24 weeks long, and each week they send you new training content covering new concepts. so is worth checking into.

The absolute best thing you can do is hand reviews.
If you can partner with someone to trade off hands to treview you can get another set of eyes and logic on it to help.
If you are finding stuff in your reviews (saying to yourself, "What was I thinking?") then keep it up. If you go through big stretches not finding anything wrong with your play then probably time to hit the books .
And yeah - Poker Zion might be worth checking out. If you have the discipline to review your hands then you have it to take advantage of their curriculum.

post more hands.

I wouldn't get leakbuster yet, with your bankroll size it would cost too much.

Hey,
Thanks for all the replies.
I've decided to buy the standard edition of leakbuster, so that I'll still have 170$ left, I think 34 bi's is enough for 5nl..
I'll also try to post more hands, but I have trouble with selecting the right hands, because te majority of big pots that I lose, are just very stupid moves, like calling allin with AKs against a nit..

Well again, the fact that you are reviewing your hands and realizing your "very stupid moves" is going to put you miles ahead of your competition - that is if you are correcting correctly. So post the hands you are not entirely sure about - maybe your "very stupid move" hands - but include what you realized and the corrective measures you plan to to take based on your own review. Get some input on that and you'll be just fine. After all - maybe that AKs was warranted - maybe not - get some other views on it. Be sure your corrections are not results oriented based but just correct decisions regarding the situation. This will help your thought process and take your play into deeper levels.
