Advice from Professional Poker Player: Adam Noone
You should take poker seriously if your goal is to profit from playing online poker games!
There was a new article published on Full Tilt Poker a couple of days ago that all those playing online poker with the goal of turning profit or becoming professional poker player will want to pay attention to.
The author of the article, Adam Noone is a poker player from England who first saw poker on Television and then turned Professional after building his bankroll up by playing small stakes Sit & Go online poker tournaments.
He had some big winnings already such as finishing 209th in the World Series of Poker Main Event 2007 and winning the Full Tilt Poker Million Pound Challenge in London (that happened in September of 2008).
Today, he is one of the Full Tilt Poker Pros. It is interesting how he got the ticket for the Full Tilt Poker Million Pound Challenge poker tournament. He qualified online at Full Tilt Poker and after winning it went on to play FTP Pros Heads Up for £1 000 000!
In order to win those £1 000 000, he had to beat 3 Full Tilt Pros: Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson and Roland de Wolfe. After winning agains Ivey and Ferguson, he was only 1 match away from getting that million. Unfortunately for him, he lost the heads up match against Roland and had to settle for £200 000.
Anyways, to get back to the advice about poker from Adam Noone.
Basically, what you will find in the article is an explanation of the difference between someone who is playing (online) poker for fun or entertainment and someone who is playing poker in order to earn money (either as a professional or as seasoned poker player).

Well, because businesses regularly check and review their performance and discuss new tactics and strategies! Same should be said for Professional poker players: Reviewing and implementing new strategies is important and should be performed regularly.
One of the options to review your game is to discuss it with your friends who are also involved in online poker, but you can do it on your own too ofcourse! As said, you can read the whole article by clicking this URL: Audit your game
