@Quinine

Firstly I would recommend you find the best room and deal suited to your needs. Those extra %s or soft games can make all the difference, especially if you are dependent on poker as an income. What country are you in? And what stakes are you currently at? Let me know and I can recommend you a good room.

I would also suggest that you create a video for

@Jon-PokerVIP to review, we offer those here for free. If you have studied a lot and have not improved as much as you'd like, having someone else take a look at your game and pick up on any leaks you may have will be a good way forward.

Feel free to add me on Skype if you would like to chat keri.pokervip

Hope this helps and good luck!

I think the first thing you need to do to improve is to be honest with your weaknesses.

What would you say your top 5 leaks/weaknesses are?

I think, I don't know my leaks.. But I have a few mental game leaks.. for example: looking to the cashier when won big pot or lost big pot... and sometimes villian turn check.. river pot size bet and I don't believe opponent's range and snapp calls with medium cards and I lost.. Lastly, I read Dusty's "Treat Your Poker Like A Business" .. it's very good for mental game.. I was not looking at the cashier for one week when I finished this book.. And I feel , I am winner player and good focus everday for A game.. But after 1 month, I started looking at the cashier in the sessions, no plan just grind.. and give up when you bored..

You have to basically detach yourself from the money side of it in the sense of it truly does not matter what the cashier says after a hand. It matters what it says in the long run as in more money is coming in than going out.

It is hard to get to this level of detachment but you basically need to train your brain in like win rates, stats and everything else before money.
