How I Became a Sit N Go Pro

I had been struggling for over a year in the online poker world. I have never been a poker loser but I was also not being much of a winner for the amount of time and effort I was putting in to becoming a great poker player. I was simply plugging along, playing every evening and swallowing up poker theory books like they were candy. I kept blaming the problems on the fact that the other players were not following the rules of poker. Then, I took a break, left poker behind me for a couple of weeks thinking that there must be a better way to make money online…

…then I came back to poker. I kept telling myself; poker can work for you, you’re a smart player, you understand the basic theories, so why aren’t you winning? I started to look at what style of poker was working for me...where was I making money? Certainly not in limit poker, it was too boring, and certainly not in ring games, I got too bored, played things that I shouldn’t, and leaked money. That left tournament poker, and it really was where I had made the most money. That led me to the sit n go style of poker.
