Hello if you are playing on the internet, it is hard to do this as many players are reckless and get lucky calls , also some sites have bad technology like 888 and coral bet365, very bad decks and cards the closest site to real life decks in my opinion is fulltilt or pokerstars, i am winning regularly on these sites playing tight and waiting for certain hands and situations that demand some good bluffing, i have been playing for one year and getting better everyday i finish in the top 20 of almost every tourny i enter now , you learn by mistakes and from others as you go along i believe if you have it in you to become as good as a pro you have it in you, some do and some dont, youtube has some decent teachers from some of the best pros in the bizz, listen to them and also check your opponents play and read them it becomes easier, change your play not become easy for your opponents to read you, most players you meet will be bad players, also i have learned those russian players are mostly bluffers, i say it how i see it.
To become a pro ?
Sorry , there are millions of players outside with the same dream.
Put your goal to become a winning player first , by playing some 10k hands and see how u are doing.

with a small bankroll, i'd stick to sng's or small field tourneys, i wouldnt play cash micros because you have more chance busting your br against those lucky beginners than reaching mid stakes.

I have the same results! To me is much easier to get reads on live games, but we can still notice some tells on the online game, it is just a matter of playing attention to the players. That is why is easier to cash in a full ring table then in a MTT, where the tables changes every time.My current bank roll is small, like I said. $75.00. Could I contribute more? Yes. But, I am trying to play as smart as possible and lose as small amount as possible while I am making my transition from playing this game just for fun.. to making a profit off of it. I have always been a decent poker player. Especially in live games. In live tournaments I win cash 90% of the games that I play. Online, I place a lot in the top 50 but do not always get to the cash portion. A lot of times, I Just barely miss the cash out.
Live games are easier for a few reasons. The games are slower and you can see people to read them. However just because you can see them doesn't always mean you have the right read. online poker is fast. you see a lot more hands an hour than you do live. The key to becoming good at online poker is time, patience, and practice. You also have to remember that online poker is not 100% random. There are hands that are going to be thrown in that are meant to see action. Don't get too excited if you see AK or QQ and push all in chances are someone will have AA or KK.I have the same results!
