Here it is...

Hey,

So I finally got out of NL10 (Thanks to Arirang for all your help) and I was doing O.K. at NL25 until today where I lost 400$ in 2000 hands.

I feel like when things start to go bad, it never gets better, it only becomes worst as I keep playing.

So I was wondering what do you think is a good stop loss I could set for myself ? Because clearly I'm awful at playing when I'm stuck.

The thing is I don't have that munch time to play poker, so I feel forced to play every seconds that I can because otherwise I'll never get out of this shithole that is the micro stakes. But then again if I keep playing worst when I'm losing I won't progress either...

Hey everyone,

I've been a under-achiever for all my life. Barely doing everything I do, reporting stuff all the time and just being lazy. I feel like I've never given my all to anything before, I've never seen or shown my true potential. I want to start changing things and turning all that around.

I'm starting school next week and I could use that opportunity to make my life an healthier and more sane life.

I want poker to spearhead this change, I want to give my all to poker, I want to succeed where I so far failed. I'm taking about a major improvement, I need to start figuring shit out and owning shit up and keep improving.

Any tips on how to improve everything I said, both regarding my life and poker ? Is the only way to improve in poker just to play a ton of hands ? How many hours a day or a week do you guys spend studying vs playing poker ? Is getting a coach the way to go ?

Thanks for the feedback, it's really appreciated.

I need help. Help that I can't afford.

Some people contacted me in the past offering to coach me for a % of my winnings over a given period of time or stakes.

I'm willing to give a pretty high percentage and discuss the time period as well. Contacted me on here or by PM if interested.

My strong points:
- Can play for 8+ hours everyday.
- Love to go over hands and over theory, can dedicate time to that as well.
- Past experiences as a professional gamer.
- I want to learn and get better, don't care about the money.
- I believe my overall thinking process and approach to the game is pretty good.

Ready to start as soon as you are.

In the last 200 hands I played at NL10 SH. I played 6 hands in which I correctly read my opponent's hand ranges to a point were I was 80% certain of the exact cards. I made the play I considered optimal in each situation yet it backfired.

This ALWAYS happen to me, like at the very least 4-5 times a session. And since I trust my reads I always end up losing huge pots. Especially when I play deep... I think this is my biggest leak, I just lose so munch to stuff like that (see examples provided) it's unbelievable.

Here are the last two hands where I was 100% right about villain's range or exact hands and still lost.

I've watched every DeucesCracked videos made before 2010 and still have them on DVDs.
I've read the best poker books.
I'm on multiple poker forums. Posting hands.
I read every interview/strategy article I find.
I play/study the game 10 hours a day.

And I'm losing at -6+ BB/100 at NL10.

Could anyone help me out ? Maybe watch me play over Skype and Mikogo or TeamViewer and tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

I've already lost countless thousands of dollars and I'm down to my last 400$. I cannot afford to pay a coach hourly. I could offer a % on my action if someone wants to coach me on a long period or something.
