I'm going to use WoW terminology, but which do you guys recommend I "tech" up to?
Grinder or Heads-Up play or tourney?
I currently have a 13.3" LED on my laptop which is limiting growth in multi-table play. Aside from equipment, what should I be focusing on? Any tips to improve attention?
Should I play a few select hands with aggressive raising or large selection of hands (playing for low straight/flush/etc) with passive raises? Or somewhere in between?
I don't know. Please help. Family needs help, need to rescue from ninjas. (j/k) |

What's this full ring system you speak of?
So multi tables (4), playing with large selection of hands (pairs/flush/etc) with passive raises is the way to go? |

Thanks, devon, it's a very good read so far.
It is very similar to the post by Liquid`meat.
Oh forgot to mention, I already am doing them since starting. |

Full ring cash grind is like LFD normals - not hard, not many wipes, low stress etc.
Tourneys are like non-rated BGs - sometimes it's awesome when you get a good team who defends nodes and follows the strategy but often it's bots, afk-ers, road fighting tards, HK tunnel vision farmers, "let them win" ...
HU cash is competitive arena - occasionally you'll get nubs, but way more often you'll get geared to the teeth gladiator mages and battlemaster rogues |

Haha, you're right, that's old school... Circa 2005. Because the skill tree closely resembled the tech tree of RTS/strategy games.
Or maybe it's just me and my friends (who have long quit) who use the term. |

I've played WoW for years no one ever uses "tech up." Also wtf is a passive raise vs aggressive raise???
Anyways, I'm not sure what your definition of what "grinder" means, but you can definitely grind out money playing heads up and tournaments. I assume you think of it as like a mass multi tabler who's doing 6 max or full ring right? Any of these three avenues can be profitable, you just have to find out what you are good at or what you prefer. |

id recommend picking an aspect of the game that intrigues you most or where you think you are most advanced and get a coach |

probably best to start with low stakes full ring. focus on playing tight, learning correct bet sizing and learning the importance of position. try to make a friend or two a few levels above you that can help you out a lot on msn. can also post hands here |

Thanks for that tip. Greatly appreciate it. :-)
I'm furiously reading through this site as well as iPokerVIP.net's Ryan Fee's videos and some books from the library, namely, Limit Hold'em: winning short handed strategies and Winning at Internet Poker for dummies which I got from 2p2 forums. I'd love more good recommendations.
And yes, I'm using WoW terminology because... a major roadblock for me in the past was the understanding the terminology. Like Ah3d, UTG, etc. |
