Time to improve my game

byronkincaid · #1 05-26-2005, 08:41 AM

I've been playing the $50s for about a year now and I've just had a 3 week break even run. Although I know it's possible to play 5-600 sngs and break even when playing well it's likely that there are numerous leaks in my game that need sorting out. I've taken some hands from my last few games and I'd appreciate any and all comments. I'm not a math type player, I just do what feels right from experience and what I've learnt from this forum. Maybe I should have a play with Eastbay's tool or something? If there are any math guys who want to start exchanging HH's then please PM me.

Hand 1 - I do this quite a lot.
