Training site for decent player?
By wg_87_05 on 04-17-2008 12:58 PM

I haven't really thought of investing into poker as I've been running pretty cold (or at least bad returns) until just recently.  Yesterday I won a $4  180 man which put my ROI% to 105%.  I feel like I don't have that much to learn but I'm sure thats just me being stubborn.  I really do like playing MTT's and I think sometimes I play pretty poorly.  Would there be a training site that would help my play out?  I mean, I do have huge cold streaks which could be from my lack of knowledge (probably is).  

 Also, if I join a site for like $150 I'd only have like a $100 BR, would I be able to make this back most likely?

 There is always room for improvement in this game and your feeling that you don't have much to learn can really hurt you. With such a small bankroll, I would suggest you peruse the free information that is available. When your bankroll gets a bit higher or you have the extra money besides your bankroll, then I would suggest you get a subscription to a training site. As far as finding a training site that fits you, simply read a few posts in this forum. Everyone has asked the same questions over and over and you should be able to find a good one.

Thanks for the reply.  Yeah I looked over my stats again and realized I'm not that good.  But anyways, I think I'll be able to have about $175 bankroll on top of a subscription.  

 I've heard cardrunner is the best for cash, pxf for MTT, and I do find MTT a lot of fun.  I also get the impression that with my bankroll MTT would probably be safer as there are a lot of swings in cash games and I couldn't play any real games properly with a <$200 roll.  Especially since lower cash games are kind of stupid or so I think. 

 
But even at low limits, MTT seems to be pretty good poker.  For instance the $4 180 man. 

 
Offer your opinion and correct my statements please if you will.

Definately a wise choice with any bankroll to join a training site imo.  PXF is also great for SNG's which are great bankroll builders as well.

 Yep I think I've chosen PXF.  I'm right in the middle of finals so I think I'm going to wait until my last 3 are over before I sign up because I'm sure I'll spend way too much time on the site watching videos if I sign up now.

 

Thanks for the help

join pxf but it will cost you 200 $ and you will only have 50 $left but i guess it is worth it

 $200?  I thought it was $150 for sign up fee + first month?  I can continue monthly after that can't I?  And I'll have $100 in my bankroll

oh ok, yeah but you will probably save some money if you pay 199,50 $ but it is your choice :) anyways you will not regret i think

 How does that save money?  Isn't the monthly fee $24.99 or something?  $150 + 2x$24.99 = $199.99?  Or something around there.  I don't see how that saves money, unless I'm missing something!  Thanks a lot!

 

Anyways, do the testimonials really do it justice?  It seems everyone has improved results within the month!  I'll have lots of time to study so would this probably be realistic?  Because I would really like to make my money back!

well it depends how good you are, I had some decent results before I subscribed for pxf and I didn't have a lot of leaks to plug so I knew that I was a good player before but now I got better and ft the 11r and won my first 4 figure score which should have been a 5 figure score lol but i played bad at the ft. if u pay 200 $ you pay for 3 months so u save 1 month

 but doesn't the initial $150 come with the first month?

 

so adding 2 more months (3 months total) would be 150 + 25 + 25?  am i wrong?  This isn't saving money...
