So, what to do:
1. Go to Pokerstrategy.com, register with this link
2. Read some of their articles (in your own language), then take one of the quiz's.
3. After completing it, you can have your free 50 $ (compulsory) on one of the sites. I recommend Titan Poker, because it's full of fish and the game engine is easy to learn.
4. That bonus will unlock in 5x10$. So, play well, make rake and gain that 50 and take it home!
That's easy, isn't it?

So, I'll recommend taking my link and moving to Titan Poker - it's full of fish!
Patience is the key
Well.. This is only a short article, but what the heck. I have been playing a lot last few days and seen that being patient is extra important.
Let's have an example (using PT3). Usually I play with stats 14-17 VPIP, AFQ 67 etc. One day, I was rather tired and played 25 % of hands (1/4, case you didn't notice =))). I was on a little downswing, and had hard time to win. I played about 2 hr sessions there, first one with TAG-marks made me add 2 % to my stack. Second.. Well, I was in +/- 0 for a while, but eventually ended up losing 5 % of stack.
What did I learn? Play patient. You can play 1000 hands in a table, and still not win a lot. But winning is MUCH harder than losing, so save your chips. Don't play if you're tired. It will save you a lot of money.

Tournament winning lately
I've been winning a lot on sit'n'go's lately. Oh well, "a lot" is rather relative. The amount of money hasn't been that big, but tournament profits are great on relation to what I have put on them.
Here's an example:
There you go. So, I have played 16 tournaments on 9th May to 15th May. The results are quite good: Money places in 10/16, won 5/10, placed second 2/10 and on other money positions at the rest of the time. This statistic shows that my profit right now is 34,28 $. Maybe not that big, but it's a good way up.
So, what's the key in success at a tournamet? Here's some of my tips:
1. Make notes and pay attention
RULE number 1!!: Make notes on your opponents. On this level it is very important, because their bet usually indicates that they have hit at least a pair. They are not prone to bluff.
2. Avoid bluffing on a flush or any draw table
It's dangerous. These opponents often fish for a flush/straight, and they may call a lot for it. So make it expensive enough, and be prepared to fold if they hit. Of course; make notes and see, whether your opponent plays with trash or not, and how often they call. Against a calling station it's no good to try to bluff them off.
3. Steal from Rocks
Good tip on the middle/late tournament. There's plenty of players who won't defend their grounds. And if they do "defend", you're usually behind..
4. Play steady
There's plenty of time here. You won't die if you lose 10 first blinds. Of course, you SHOULD try to steal, but against calling stations.. Well, just wait for them to call your good hand.

Make notes on your opponents
One of the key thing when playing poker is to make notes on your opponents. I'll give you some tips what to take notes of:
1. Aggression on flop
- Do they always bet after pre-flop raise? Are they looking for the table cards at all? Players, who cbet on every flop are usually weak. Against a player like that you should try to raise, if you just happened to have a hand that could improve a lot. Of course, if your opponent plays 2 of 50 hands, they are likely to have something, even without good table cards. Avoid playing with them.
2. Pre-flop aggression
- Does your opponents play aggressive on pre-flop or do they just limp in? What kind of hands are they playing aggressive/what hands passive? Try to make as good notes as possible.
3. 3bettin
- Are they playing tight against any bet/raise or will they re-raise? When are they re-raising? Do they play aggressive only with monsters, or do they have guts to play you out with a strong draw, too?
4. Pot control
-Is your opponent strong and making solid bets on the table? Are they making the pot big enough to push all-in on the river? Or are they just putting minimun amount of money on the table after the flop? That could be a sign of weakness.
Try to watch your opponents play, use their weakness'... And make your run for the big pot!
