Any advice for someone who's beginning to play online on improving, building the bankroll, and eventually playing irl cash games and tournaments?

Play a lot of hands watch a lot of videos.

I only play live. 

Not gonna write a super long post on this but just a few big pointers: 

-Only play in games where you're totally ok losing your buy in. Otherwise, if the money means a lot to you, you will not be able to make +EV plays. 

-Study foundational GTO (Game Theory Optimal), especially for preflop. A huge mistake players make is in not raising enough preflop and not being aware of position. 

-Think about hands in terms of ranges as opposed to specific hands. 

 

I can’t do the Vegas WSOP main this year because of school but want to play it in the future. Last month I went to Harrah’s Cherokee NC and Hard Rock Seminole Hollywood FL. 

I’m on America’s Cardroom most days.

I played WSOP Main Event last summer. I cashed but it's a very long grueling tournament. Was utterly exhausted after I was done. 

Harrah's Cherokee is on my list; they run great tournaments. 

This summer for WSOP I'm gonna play Colossus and a few other tournaments at Aria, Venetian, Wynn.

Are you playing The Venom this weekend on ACR? It's a $10M GTD probably $1.5M for first. There are two Day 1 flights left on Sat and Sun. $2,650 entry but you can satty in if possible.

That's cool bro - you've had some good experiences. Yeah Harrah's is only 3hr from me and they have good rates on hotel rooms at the casino too.

Omnis qui odit ut enim. Autem magni quisquam earum ipsa quia laudantium harum. Omnis quia quia enim maxime tempore rem.
