................. then
for the second time today I'm actually going to apply something I learnt from the forum and quit as I'm feeling tired.
very nice work. You may get there after all!
To succeed when starting out in poker you need:
a) Good bankroll management
b) a grasp of poker basics, and
c) ability/desire to learn are all you need...
sounds like you have c).
You understand the why of a), you just need to stick to it.
As for b) - hard to tell, but you're on FTR so if you're not there already then you'll be there soon. Go to the sitngo stickies and read:

http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...-0-t41170.html
and then:

and

wait until you have the basics from the first two posts firmly digested before reading the next two. Don't bother with the rest for a while longer.
also, start posting your thoughts on the hands and situations as they are posted in that forum - you'll be right sometimes and wrong other times. When you're wrong, it will be pointed out to you, including why - this is one of the best ways there is to learn! Don't get upset when you're called stupid (it's kinda inevitable that every regular poster here gets called stupid a lot!), laugh about it.
Best of luck. Oh, and share your pkr signature so that we can keep an eye on you on sharkscope - make sure you're sticking to good brm etc
