Re: How do you get profitable at poker? Some very good comments on here. I play at the .25/.50 level with a very TAG style and don't have too many losing sessions. I won't get rich but I do make a consistent profit.
I always enter a pot with a raise. I'll never limp with small pairs but I do only min raise them which is usually enough to scare off the SB/BB and avoid them hitting miracle trips with their 53os. I play the big pairs hard but I am happy to fold in the face of strength or a dodgy looking board. In a way it's scared poker but it avoids big losing sessions and really relies on a patient game.
I like to play position as Gaf advocates and will often play suited connectors from there as if they were a big pair. It's very easy to fold them if you don't hit hard. Don't get attached to middle pair!
I also have a rakeback deal for 45% at Purple Lounge and I was amazed at how much you get back. It turns a break even session into a winning one. Definitely worth looking into. If you need a referall.........
