Very possibly the best tip you'll get - Research what Bankroll Management is and try to impliment it. Without it, no matter how good a player is, they will go broke.

Just do a search here and you'll find loads of threads on it.

Well, this is the first point. If you want to improve online you have to know what class of player you're playing against. Stop trying flashy plays if you don't think your opponent is capable of folding a hand. Bet your strong hands and fold your weak ones, and you'll easily beat the calling stations.

If your having problems with patience and concentration then why dont you multi table like 4 tables, it keeps you on your toes.

Also with bankroll management never use more than 5% of your bankroll in one game.

If your playing bad have a break for a few hours/days.

If I was to be playing $10 sngs, I'd like to have $300 dollars in my account. Jump up a another level when you have min 30 buy-ins (Go up to $20 sngs when you've doubled your money to $600 dollars). I'd drop down a level if you go below 25 buy-ins (Drop down to €5 sngs when if your balance goes to €250). Of course these rules are very flexable, you can start taking shots whenever you feel ready.

I'd also start taking shots at 50 nl cash when you build your bank up to €750. And you're well on your way to becoming a pro.

Good luck!

In my opinion it's unquestionably Pokerstars. Ipoker might be alright aswell, although I find that site very annoying because of the bad software.

Also read the SNG strategy posts over at Flopturnriver and apply my bank roll plan and with a bit of luck you're on your way to becoming a winning player.
