Ongoing training and reading.

Training - I have been listening to podcasts from PokerRoad.com and trying to study my hand histories. Im also still trying to recruit some poker buddies who are as interested in beating this game as I am. Im still a member of pokerxfactor but not using it so much so may try some different training sites to get some different opinions.

Reading - "Secrets of short-handed no-limit holdem em" by Danny Ashman.

Reading - Fooled by randomness. This book was recommended by SNGNick in an interview called "Fooled by Randomness" which is not really about poker so much as our mental ability to understand and process random results or events. Its a tough read but is interesting and certainly applies to poker players. One really interesting point is how the book explains the difference between the probability of an event happening and expected value. it might be 90% likely but the expected value is negative, or it may it 1% likely but the expected value is huge.
