I play online poker now for 4 months and make little profit. I only did once a deposit at full tilt $100. After that i cleared bonusses at sunpoker, ladbrokes and finally PKR. I like it there, the bonusses/rakeback/PKR-points are very nice so i think ill stay a long time there
My bankroll is now $3,000+ , i play $10/$20 sit n gos with a roi of 8% which is not good/ not bad..... But now its time for the next step... After 4 month playing i know a little bit how i can make profit the save way. But i want more.... I want my roi go higher cos i think i can do better then 8%. I want a roi of 10% or even more.
So maybe you guys can help me out I never used pokersoftware but i think its much better if i use this. What i really want is know is, how tight are people at my table. So when i see 10people at my table i want to see how many perc of the hands they play on that table and perc overall (each time i played them). Best is when i see perc at their names for example jimmyDS 14,3%, what means he plays 14,3% of the hands he gets.
I think this is a very stupid question for some guys and offcourse i look like an complete amateur i know What i want to know is, which software is best for me and what are the costs. Maybe i can get it for free if i make a deposit at some site, thats no problem for me
So please guys help me out i know for sure i can make more profit then i do now

When I felt like you do know " i can make more profit then i do now " I started reading more, watching instructional videos and posting more hands. But most important I stopped playing S&G and started playing macho poker cash and got Pokertracker/pokeroffice. I don't know how good PT is for tourneys but for cash games it is a MUST.

Kinky boots Doomdy, think M3 has a point, time to move over to NLH with some software like PT3, Im going to lose mine soon and it will be a great loss. You will have to change your game a little, I think you like to wait for them killer hands, now you want to spot weak players and rake in the money the killer hands come as a bonus, I think youll be suprised how fast your BR may go up even at low limit. Use the software to see when you lose money and put a stop to it, see how you can squeeze a little more out of ppl etc, I think youll be fine GL.
I am not gonna play cash games lol. I hate them, i really suck at it, dont have the patience to do cashgames its so boring. Sorry guys, many people say it to me go try cashgames its more easy money but i dont like them get really frustrated when i play them easyly tilt lol.

think you should keep playing the way you are and move up levels when you think you are ready,if you winning that of $100 dont worry about software you might play different and lose.

Yes ill stick to the sit n gos, i play 99% sit n go but i also like mtt but at PKR mtt's are not that great. PKR is nice for sit n go players but for good mtt you have to go to pokerstars, full tilt, ipoker, btw also ladbrokes has great mtt's.
