Hi Newbie here played my 1st game today 1363 runners came 3rd hoping to take down the 8pm WET game. Just browsing the forum and getting a feel for it.
Ive been playing Poker Live/Online for about 4 to 5 years now. Stopped playing for cash online after xmas just gone due to a serious fault in my ability to use Bankroll management. Gone from building a roll out of nothing sometimes upto over $1,000 and then i seem to hit a brick and go on a mental tilt and lose it all.
This year i set myself a challenge to just play freeroll (even if theres $$ in my account) NO SNGS/NO CASH TABLES , just mtt freerolls only for 12 months and see how well i can do. Im not just guna sit at any game anytime of the day and like a cock, im guna be playing when i have no distractions and plenty of time.
See you all on the forum and at the tables(the final table hopefully)

I have come to the same conclusion. I love playing but when I am tired or sick, my play is off and I will not be as sharp as when I am fresh. When I am on vacation and play, I am twice as sharp as on a workday. Barry Greenstein talks about this in his book "Ace on the River", the difference between playing on the side when he had a job, and playing poker for a living. GL!

Welcome to the forum. Im new here as well. If you need something just ask. I recomend you if you are starting poker online, to post every single hand you had problems with in the forum so you can learn how to fix leaks in your game and we can improve our game triying to find the best strategy for each hand.
