personal prefereance i guess, I'm pretty sure both offer trial versions? I personally used HEM when i first started playing online, so naturally went HEM2 no problems whatsoever.

I always find going for a swim (Fortunate enough to have a pool in garden) or just some regular exercise routine before i start a heavy days grind sorts me out a treat.

If things are going well in a session i try and stay put as long as possible, otherwise just regular cups of tea breaks for me in between sessions :P

Yea that's right, I'm English if you had not guessed :)

Would like to thank everyone for the quality feedback!

Fact is i am happy with my game at the moment, very confident going into every session but as soon as i move up i can't help but feel something "different" can't really explain it :D Think i expect too much of myself as i am getting close to the stage (If i keep double figure winrate) Where my dream is nearly my reality, it gets me kind of over whelmed.

I'm very lucky enough at the moment in my life to have a nice job, and minimal outgoings every month. So i need to just crack on with it and see how far i can really go with poker. It does over whelm me somewhat because i know i have what it takes.

But anyway, thanks again everyone <3 Much appreciated. NL100 by August :D

Awesome video James, not sure if you still read these comments, But i was curious about the TT hand @ 37min:

If we are not fortunate enough to bink the T on the turn, how do you procede vs this kind of aggression on say a 9h for example, are you calling the turn still given he can still have the over pairs in his range, aswell as all the combo's of flush draws he can have?

No brainer! As mentioned, you can't go wrong with a good bit of tracking software.

April 19, 2013 | 2:58 p.m.

Hmm yeh good point man, Should i just delete all the randoms off skype or what? Is that even enough? :p

Comment | Ray Cobbing commented on Question
I feel your pain bro.

Once i first started playing, it was hard to get my parents on board with what i was doing. Everyone you speak to about poker who doesn't know so much always look at it like "gambling" which i guess i some sense it is but, truth of the matter is it's not like playing roulette and splashing everything on Red, there is a bigger skill cap in poker than most "gambling" games.

My best advice to you which is what i did, run out alot of hands on your Hold'em Manager / PokerTracker, show the "haters" what you can churn out in a day / month / 6 months, and let it go from there.

Personally i felt aswell that keeping my job rather than relying soley on poker helps me mentally before firing up any kind of game. Even though i could barely live off poker, I'm just still not there yet, one day though :)

Thanks all this is awesome, going to combine most of these factors together and see what we come up with! Working up enough courage to play start of May, going to cushion myself with a few more buy ins at 10nl and then go for it big time!

Thanks for all your feedback :)
Will let you know how it went :P x

Awesome post Tom, thanks a bunch!

I do like the idea of "tricking the mind" One does tend to play better on a "Freeroll" :D

I also like the idea of coolering someone in the 7th hand hehe, good advice :P

Appreciate the comments guys :)

Thanks for your reply James!

Thanks again for the tip this is definatly something i will try!

Post | Ray Cobbing posted in Chatter: Moving up Anxiety..
Hey guys,

So i have a very nice winrate at my current limits (I play mostly 10nl, recorded 210k hands with 11bb/100)

Now i know this is more than enough to have moved up limits by now, but i am having anxiety problems that keep me from doing so,

- Couple of reasons for this is the fact i hate having no reads/hands on people, what is a good reaction to this?
- How did you overcome this anxiety feeling of moving up stakes? What is the best way to get myself mentally prepared before a session?
- I'm finding it hard to give myself reason/motivation on moving up when i tend to do well at the games i currently play, how do i overcome this?

I guess things that put me off mostly aswell is everytime i have took stabs at higher stakes, i lose a couple of buy ins due to silly mistakes on my part, out thinking myself most of the time rather than the "ABC" i know.

Would really appreciate your feedback on this, How did you overcome the anxiety of moving up?

Thanks in advance people,
Peace out x

April 17, 2013 | 4:04 p.m.

April 15, 2013 | 9:03 p.m.
