Up and Down Week-end
Up and Down Week-end
It was an up and down week-end this week-end on Absolute. I began using my more aggressive style with mixed results. I know it will take time to perfect and I was quite happy with my results in SitNGos and a couple of the MTT I was in. Overall, I was hoping to do better but will take this as a start. I was able to finish in the money on the majority of SitNGos I played. I am going to have to convince myself that I am ready to move up to the $2.40 dollar SitNGos. I should at least try 10 of them and then see how my results are. Right now I am playing a combination of .60 cent and $1.20 SitNGos and I know I am ready to move up to the $2.40 and quite possibly the $5.50 SitNGos.
The MTT I played in were just $1 and $2 dollar MTT’s. Out of 4 total, I finished in the money on two of them. Not real high up, 18th on one and 43rd on the other but enough to win back what I had initially paid to enter. I can almost always get into the top 10% of the MTT’s and have done better several times. I only play the $1 and $2 dollar MTT tournaments at this time so the payouts are quite low until you reach the final table where the first and second place finishers get the best return. Right now I am using these low buy-in MTT’s as practice to get better before moving up.
Remember I am still in my infancy when it comes to Hold’em Poker and, as stated before, am just now learning to walk. Hopefully my experience will grow exponentially and I will be running before you know it.
My question is, “Can you make yourself become a good Poker player?” I think you can. I think with practice, hard work, reading all of the information you can get your hands on and researching the subject, you can become a good poker player. Maybe not World Series of Poker, good, but good enough to make extra money for vacations or other things you like. My goal by the beginning of summer is to average $10 dollars per day playing poker. That would mean $3650 dollars per year and since I don’t play every day that means I would have to win about $30 dollars per session. To do that I know I have to move up in limits. I would only be able to average that per session by playing in $5.00 SitNGos or playing $1/$2 dollar Limit or No Limit Ring Games. I am going to have to settle on concentrating on one type of game to be the best but at this time, I am unsure which game I am the best at.
Tomorrow I’ll talk about if my bank roll is holding me back.
