Posted by XenOsky: 3) play Suited conectors with position and never call a raise out of position with this kind of hands. 4) try to steal the blinds often but with hands that may get some value post flop. (dont try to steal with 72o or J2.. just bcuz u saw Phil ivey doing it)
I have to chip and say DON'T DO this two until you learn to lay down hands...really

This is a really good post. I'm busted my fulltilt 50$.
I guess I should have spend more time reading strategy articles
------------ Jared Tendler: Not much...I have played for fun, but I was a golfer, turned mental game coach for golfers, turned mental game coach for poker players. After I met Dusty 'Leatherass' Schmidt on the golf course he informed me how there was a need for someone like me in poker.
Barry Carter: I’ve been a poker journalist for five years so as you can imagine, poker is pretty much my life. It has been really good to me; I have gotten to travel the world doing a job that is also a hobby.
------------ Jared Tendler: The fact I understand poker players better than they know themselves at times. Beingan outsider has helped me to be unbiased in the issues poker players struggle with, which has helped me redefine conventional poker psychology wisdom that doesn’t hold up to standards in sports psychology found elsewhere.
Plus I am actually trained; I have a master’s degree in psychology and a license in counselling psychology that took 3200 hours to complete. I have 6 years’ experience working in performance, 3 years in poker. Nobody has my level of qualification or experience working with poker players.

I know that this topic is alone a few years, but i read all posts and is all true, the bankroll is what you have to your "job", play poker, and if you dont have, is a truggle, for who is a beginner, is hard to learn and stay at the same amount of money, but think long run, if you play for a few weeks or months one the same tournaments, the same buy.ins, you will improve, without you darlings, and you will start making and see money grow up, for me i have pass this for 2 times, and at the 3 time i think, and stop, start to learn, read and see articles on the internet, and play just for what i have in the bankroll, and isnt not to long or too enought time, but right now i am better that a few months ago, and seeing my banroll grow is good, some times i see a couple $$ go down, but i know that can happens, and continuo playing the same buy.ins, but doing things diferent, because of the videos or the reads that i do.
For a beginner is more like stay positive, and dont think for a present run, think that if you go further you in couple of months get more and are better.
