What am I doing wrong?

[BrianSwa]

thanks, I didnt take one bit of what you said as a insult and have to admit its pretty damn good advice, I really like the way you slid the insult at jackass in there, anywho Ill take your advice and start back at the beggining. Im not to concerned with making tons of money, I dont expect to get rich from this but would like to break even. You are probolly right I'am playing with scared money which I know is wrong but hey im no lawyer . Thanks again for your input Lou and everyone else.

Playing on scared money is basically playing above your head. It's playing with money that you really can't afford to lose. Try to avoid this at all costs, because, invariably, it affects how you play the cards at the table.

If this means taking time off from poker, then do so.

ok this is gonna sound stupid, I finally bought super systems, I know you all are gonna say well its about time. Im reading it cover to cover acting like ive never played a hand of poker in my life. So far the book is amazing, wow Doyle had a rough as hell life, im very impressed at how he grinded it out in his early years.

yeah its a good book. Probably no need to read it cover to cover as theres a lot of other games covered - maybe best sticking to hold em for now (thats what i did)

I play 7 card stud alot so that section im interested in, the whole book is pretty nice, I dont seriously play razz but I'am enjoying that section also. I really like Doyle's opinion on playing connectors though.
