Hey guys, I've decided that posting a challenge for myself here might somehow drive me to play better and improve my game more.
Basically I'm currently a losing player, but, like everyone, I wish to become a winning player. After annihilating the best part of $1400
The first 1000 games I didn't know poker. I didn't know about it, and I had a job, and I didn't really care about it, I just assumed it was luck. I just fancied a gamble.
I unfortunately got made redundant in January 2k11, but luckily I had dropped to part time as I've returned to education (23 year old student studying business management) so don't have the monies to spew off gambling as much as I'd like to heh.
After the first 1000 games my play improved somewhat when I started to take attention to the game and learn more, the idea of bankroll management was also a great help. However I'm still a losing player.
I am going to deposit $100 at some point this week onto stars, and going to exclusively play $2.50 90 man non-turbo S&Gs.
Up until now I've pretty much exclusively played turbo games and I've finally realised that they are too high variance, almost feeling like a lottery.
My plan hopefully is to grind these out until I get to $400, then move up to the $7 90 man knockout non-turbo's.
I can have a severe tilt problem when I take bad beats, but I've finally found a way to counteract it. As weird as it sounds, if I'm drinking a cup of tea, I don't tilt AT ALL. So when I'm playing I'm just going to make a load of brews 8)
Not really got a daily target of how many games to play or daily profit, as being too goal orientated is probably bad.
Anyway yeah that's about it. Without sounding too pessimistic I fully expect to bust within a week so you can all subscribe and laugh if you so wish.
Once I start the challenge I'll post up some hands as I think I really need some pointers on my play. I could do with coaching but seriously can't afford it. So any evaluation and help on how I played hands will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading
SN on stars is Bryn Green if anyone is bored and fancies railing.
