I just wrote a whole long whiney post which I then promptly deleted one letter at a time (quite cathartic). I'm tired, tilting, and tired of tilting.
I need help.
And no, I don't mean in the sardonic "I need psychological help as I continue to play this effing game even though it clearly is not my forte" help.
I need poker help. I've read the books and the blog posts, but I learn better when I'm shown something, rather than when I read something.
Any takers? I'll knit you something nice :-)

What do you need to be shown? I'm hardly the person to educate anyone on how to play, but your request is kinda vague.
Some tricks? Ways to read your opponents? Knowing when to make a move? What to do with AJs in MP?
How not to run a flopped set of kings into a flopped set of aces? Cuz, apparently, I can't help you there (and you thought you were tilty) :).
Yep, what exactly do you want help with? Your play is absolutely dead solid 85% of the time. The other 15% of the time you happily join me in Neverland and
Anyway, I certainly can't give tournament advice anymore having not played one in what feels like 100 years. Cash games, however, I'm there for you babe.
Please BE VERY careful who's advice you take!!!!!
Kat, I'll IM you the next time I'm online. You name the game and I'll help. Either you'll play and I'll rail or vice versa and we'll go through the decisions, reads, etc. Honestly, I think it would really help MY game, and I'm sure you'll get something out of it too.
Thanks you all - you've made me have to define the real problem first.
I have some real holes in my game, especially in the later stages of an MTT, and need som guidance on 1) what they are and 2) how to plug them up. I've let my cash game slide, becuase it's not nearly as much fun unless it's live, as there is much more interaction with the players. The Bash showed me that my gaze is too narrowly focussed on NLHE, and I would like suggestions as to what other variation is good..PL08 seemed fun, but only because Iw as drunk and no clue what I was doing *grin.
Hey Kat;
Ive read all the books, studied hand examples, won my fare share of tourneys but I have leaks in my game too. My suggestion is get a coach. I have someone who I play live with who took me under his wing and started making suggestions on how to tweak my game. Its paid off already.
BTW I'll be hosting one of the Poker.com blogger events in November. The game will be Omaha Hi Lo.
