How to get better?
I have been trying hard to improve my poker game for about a year now. I started as the tastiest fish imaginable and have read, discussed and played my way into being a fairly decent player. I went through a period where every time I played I learned something new. My learning curve was very steep and each new book or concept I eagerly adapted to my game. I feel like I have reached a bit of a plateau recently. I feel like I have the basics down (starting hands, pot odds, when to laydown, making reads etc) and I have had a fair amount of success, but not quite ready to quit my day job either. How do I go about improving my game from this point. Am I at a point where there is no teacher left but experience. Doyle Brunson says he is still learning the game. I know that I dont know everything there is to know (?). Has anyone been at this point and found the answer? Do I have to play against some tougher competition to "raise the level of my game"? Let me know.

Re: How to get better?
post on forums and discuss hands that people post, you will be able to see if your opinion and knowledge are correct, alot of smart ppl on these forums also some that are not.. but you'll improve hte more you read/discuss and hte more you play

Re: How to get better?
There's always more info out there. Read every book that seems to have value. Check out other poker strategy sites. Play the game. Consult the best minds in the game. Consider getting a tutorial session with a pro. I know Amir Vahidi, Annie Duke, David Sklansky, Barry Greenstein, Mike Caro, and Men the Master have all done some teaching/mentoring. Or maybe you can play in the main event and get adopted like David Williams did.

Re: How to get better?
You are on the right track. Keep pressing yourself into tougher games / higher limits. Focus on what the other winning players do at the higher levels. If you get beat up move back down and work on the game. One thing you will find is that the higher levels start to show the tendency of the literature. The games will start to look and feel a little more like the books in print.
What level are you playing now? |
