I’m the definition of a recreational player. I have a nice career and financially will never need poker. I started playing poker live again at the end of last year. My poker bankroll has grown from $2000 to intothe five figures in 10 months playing less than once a week. It costs me $40 or $50 and three hours of time just to get in the car round trip and get in my seat at a table. If There is an opening when I get there. What I do need poker for isto keep my mind active. And sometimes that involves playing a hand like 26 suited once or twice in 10 hours. And not “going home” when I catch j6 offsuit 20 hands in a row.
The hardest part is finding the time to play. So when I play, I'm going to find a way to play. Instead of taking a break to eat or gamble at the craps table I play questionable hands. I might open 89s UTG. Or 26s onthe cutoff. I usually donÂ’t.
Someone much better than me has a vlog about beating 50nl online. The zoom tables. His advice with graphs and charts of it working is to open up as wide as possible pre and 3B much higher frequency than everyone else. He says to throw out the preflop charts from all the”training sites”.Never cold call and never limp. Obviously not the samegame as low stakes live, but his advice also brings up a great point. He says you should always be testing the boundaries of how loose and aggressive you can play.
