  1. Hey Meister -

    Well, some of the hands look standard and some look a little iffy. But that's poker. No one plays the game perfectly. Just remember that your goal at $25 NL (and up) is to learn. Learn from your mistakes, learn to play, and do your best to forget about money or "winning".

    I'm not sure which books you've read, but I'd recommend Professional No-Limit Hold'em. It will completely change how you approach the game and it will increase your win rate. I can guarantee that!

    And once you've finished reading PNLH, check out the list of books I've got at my site. Every book your read will contribute in some way to your overall performance at the tables.

    Poker is a tough, tough game - even at the micro-stakes. Trust me. I've been at this for while...
