As harsh as it sounds the man speaks the truth. If you truly wish to succeed, and you aren't, then you probably aren't doing enough. Reading and replying to threads on FTR is one thing, and while it has its merits in helping individuals get better, it shouldn't be the end all to your success. You also need to read books, find situations in which you don't know how to react and work through the solutions, listen and learn from others better than you, watch videos, play hands, try.

I don't know how many times it has been said, but if you truly want to get better go to the flopturnriver internet relay chat channel and you will get better. I promise you. Just look around at your peers here in the BC, and look at the ones who are moving through the stakes the fastest, understanding the game more fully, and there is a good chance those individuals frequent #flopturnriver.
