The fact that I have only logged that many hours is pathetic to me. I my number one goal next month will be putting in 35+ hours a week.
Out of curiosity you say offering help to your competition, do you live in vegas?
Excellent that your numbers are still that high. I would have thought those two hits would have taken a bigger toll. I actually think you are a very good player and have an excellent chance of moving to higher stakes and making decent money. We all know beating this game long run takes much more than just poker skills.
I do live in Vegas and have all my life, all 50 years of it. I tried to make a go of poker in the late 80's and again in the mid 90's. I failed miserably both times, of course it was limit back then. I had a big roll both times, my skills were adequate, everything else was not. There's so many ways to mentally go down the path of destruction.
I do see you young guys as my competition. At my age I'm not at all happy about having to haul it down to the Strip, playing late hours and seeing 35 hands an hour. I am online player and really want to get back online. I played hundreds of thousands of hands on Full Tilt's Rush Poker, so manipulating situations live is very easy for me and I find most players incredibly transparent. I just don't need to try and barrel people off hands. When they call me down way too often, and they will if there's the slightest chance they have me, the result is huge swings. Nobody likes to be beat by a girl.
So, I just sit there like a coiled up rattler and wait for some poor sucker to get within easy striking distance. FPS is lost on most recreational players and giving them any credit for letting logic determine their play can be devastating. They can turn over anything. I admit I don't have a great deal of experience in live NL, but I do beat up the smaller game pretty handly. I migth take some shots at 2-5 myself, but being female I don't blend in very well and dealing with that additional variable can be difficult. Really just want to get back online and staying afloat until that happens.
So, yeah, most these guys that move here, they are younger, have more stamina, somewhat fearless and unpredictable. It's simply in my best interest if the majority of them derail by one of the many avenues available, just as I did when I was younger. We've got too many grinders here. I selfishly won't use the benefit of my experience to aid in their collective success. I see everything through the eyes of a twice failed 50 year old woman, native to the city. That's the only edge I have. How else am I gonna get the drop on young smart guys? I don't try to beat them at their game, I let them beat themselves.
If I see you out, I'll stop and introduce myself.
