So I have been a breakeven player the past year (I'm serious, I'm not a big loser)... I know in my heart that I have what it takes to be a consistent winning poker player.. I've had a 4 figure score as well as positive ROI's on sharkscope over extended time.. However I definitely do myself a disservice by becoming bored and either playing outside my limits or just playing too much in general.. I think I've put in way too many hours and I tend to lose concentration and lose sight of the goal (to win money).. I'll either play outside my limits or play cash games, or hell even Omaha Hi/low.. So last night I turned 100 dollars (which I had patiently accumulated by grinding for about a week from 25 dollars) into 4.18.. I lost 30 bucks in a NL cash game with AA when 9/8 hit open ender on turn... I then played a 27 dollar turbo and 36 dollar turbo and wallah busto... After reflecting on my stupidity, I decided I am going to change my approach to the game.. I am gonna play a lot shorter sessions and in turn hopefully play more focused... I'm gonna start off by playing 3 sngs per day until I get up to 25 dollars and then I'll re-evaluate.. I'm only gonna play 3.30 6 person sngs until I get to 25... I realize this isn't proper bankroll management, but A.)I know I can win at this level B.)I refuse to play 1 dollar sngs and C.)If worse comes to worse I'll throw in 25 more ;)
Here are the results from day 1 (Sunday Dec 7th) 1st poker sng (with 4.18 to my name, I'm wondering if I'll ever write this blog...) I took 2nd phew! 2nd poker sng (bust out in 4th place and I'm right back where I started) 3rd poker sng (took first and end the night with 12.43 to my name (over/under on when I go bust?)
