Training Sites, Mult-tabling and Grinding

After getting frustrated with the direction my game has been going lately, I signed up for a membership at deucescracked.com. They are one of the only training sites that does not have a sign up fee and they have a seven day trial. I took full advantage of the trial and watched a number of videos, particularly a SNG series (Real Life Micro SNG Grinder) by Vandweller. Hearing Vandweller coach a player that I consider in the same situation as myself was very enlightening. I picked up so much good information that I was able to put to use rather quickly. It all seemed to just click. It helped me understand why I was unable to multitable with any real success. I was over thinking my hands in the early rounds. The most tables I have ever played was three and maybe four but I was only comfortable with two. After watching a few videos in the series I tried four then six. I have to say I can now comfortably six table. My ROI in the first six table session was 87.5% (not too shabby). While I have always been one to read the latest in poker lit, I have found the training site videos to be a useful tool in extended my poker knowledge. I am now also experimenting with Holdem Manager to see how this software can help me find and close leaks in my game. I have finally come to the conclusion that while I have been playing seriously for a long time I was really only a casual player online, NOW I am making the change to being a grinder. As a casual player I will never be profitable to the degree that I have money to spend. My goal is to be profitable and have money to spend. After I absorb all that I have learned fully, I plan to continue my use of DC and the great videos they offer.

Online Poker... Keep It Legal

Let your Congress and Senate know where you stand.

Sign the Petition

Dear Members of the Congress and the Senate,

I want to register my strong disapproval and disagreement with the recently enacted bill concerning the prevention and/or regulation of Internet Poker/Gambling. The bill was initially introduced by Representative Bob Goodlatte in the House of Representatives and was attached to "must pass" legislation in the Senate by Senator Bill Frist.

I strongly believe that the government should not attempt to ban online poker by adults as poker is a game of skill and not of chance. I support the legalization, regulation and taxation of online poker by the government of the United States of America.

Sincerely,
The Undersigned
