Hi
I'm here with another question.
I'am at the moment hard-studying Sklansky and Warren
and i'am improving my game steady by the hour.
When play some sessions are negative and some positive in
the matter of earnings.
My question is:
How many hours or games should i play
to be relativy certain that i'am on a positive trend.
i'am grinding low-limit games online to give me the money
to play at Stockholms, Sweden first and only casino.
(Texas hold'em has only been legal since april this year)
My question has to do with how many sessions i need
to give myself to judge if i shall continue or get out
and give Sklansky, Warren another bash.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game?

I guess the more that you play the more you'll see the average that comes out. There are players out there who play forty hours a week plus... be wary that some people have bad sessions for long periods of time too though. I read once that Tom McEvoy had once gone six months of losing... and he was beginning to question his prowess as a Poker player. You don't have to play forty hours a week to learn how good you are though... i think you could do it in twenty. Average out how much you earn or gain per hour... consider losses that were bad calls on your part and what were bad beat draws also.
Finally, there was a point when I had memorized everything Sklansky had to offer and I did my best to apply it at the table. I thought I was good, but I wasn't. You're gonna think you're good at one point, when you're really not. It doesn't mean you're a bad player... just means that you'll go through stages of awareness. Kinda like enlightenment.
