Tom Dwan, he's my inspiration. Win or lose aside, he is the ultimate professor of poker. He exudes this Dwan's professional aura that he's on top of things come what may. He's a top draw in any tournament. If he's still at the table, he's the guy to ...

Hi Indiara, we are only responsible to ourself. I always jot down my chart analysis and how I feel in a journal. This include the pips count, lot size and $value. Then complete my review at the end of the day. It's a standard practice. Cheers

When you post your live trades on FF, one bad trade makes you a loser that's what most people think. So more trades added as a result in the hope to hit a big win to recover the loss trade, to shed this loser image. That's why don't post live trades ...
