Reinventing your poker game part 1
Online poker is always changing, the amount of useful poker software, high quality poker articles and poker training videos continues to grow and what is available now is massive compared to just a few years ago. The standard of play has increased a lot in just the past year alone and is light years ahead of what it was 5 years ago. Also the way the human mind works, with the mind over time naturally forgetting information it is imperative that you are constantly learning and indeed not just learning new lessons but quite often re-learning old lessons too.
Ok I’m going to go back to where it all begins so to speak. If you are using a site that allows a poker tracker such as PokerTracker or Hold’em Manager then you should definitely buy yourself one of these. These are not easy pieces of software to use straight away, however they are well worth the time to get to know. Spend as long as you need to at least get a degree of comfort with using one of these programs.
Test these poker software programs out if necessary at micro stake games until you get more comfortable with them. Create a HUD (A real-time statistical overlay of yours and your opponents poker playing stats displayed on your online poker table) that suits you, or make use of one of the several huds people kindly make their available for other people to use on the likes of the holdem manager forum and other poker forums. Don’t worry if you don’t know all the ins-and-outs of these programs right away, that takes time.
