Training and PokerVT

Finding your leaks and working on them is one of the largest assets in becoming a better player that has helped to improve my own personal game.

I used to play 1 table at a time, without any software and just for fun, not caring about bankroll management and thought that I could play as a pro some day from that alone. On a scale of 10 I considered myself a 7-8 and felt I was far superior to anybody I sat down against in live ring games and tournaments.

PVT has shown me how wrong I was, I was actually a 3 out of 10.

I now watch videos weekly, use tracking programs, ICM programs, poker stove, try to work on my leaks as best I can with my limited putercore knowledge.
I follow proper super nitty bankroll management, read the forums a lot and am comfortably up to 6 tables at a time.

Before PVT I played maybe 300 games online in 3 years, since joining in January I have played just over 3500 games online and try to get in at least 100 games per week, along with training and finding and fixing my leaks.

I too work full time and take a few days off for personal entertainment outside of the "poker world" I think my chances of some day becoming a pro are way more realistic than they were prior to joining PVT and the kick ass training it provides.

Also learning from other venues doesn't hurt, training via pokerstrategy and reading poker magazines like Bluff also adds to how much I think and try to increase my level of play. Full Tilt Academy is another place I have recently started to explore. Of course reading more and different books on poker from many authors perspectives was all I used to have, I still do this as well.

Cheers!
