The Dean is now taking enquiries from all interested parties regarding my new Poker Pro System with full back up service and anyone who is interested in this should contact me at Carl@Pokerquest.f9.co.uk to register their interest.
Played a short session in the Pro Poker Challenge yesterday and lost $44. This was my worst session so far but it did actually highlight a couple of flaws that I have since corrected. I also lost $30 in one pot when I let the betting escalate needlessly. I was in the big blind with 8-4 in an unraised pot and the flop came J-8-4.
Small blind bets and I raise, it gets folded to the small blind who three bets. This should have set an alarm off in my head but instead I four bet them all in to see them reveal J-8. I let my concentration slip there for a minute and let the fact that my opponent only had 60BB influence me into getting them all-in. I could have controlled that pot better and got away with that with a smaller loss than what I did.
I also lost money attacking the blinds as well as making a couple of plays at people that didnt come off. I stopped the session once again as something didnt feel right. I think that I have sorted a few things out and went back today and played for 1hr 26 mins and won $25 of that back so am $19 down on where I was yesterday morning. Was far more restrained today but I definitely feel that I am overpressing too much or at least I have been. This seems to be the case when I play on my laptop.
I play on my laptop in my living room because I dont always fancy sitting at my desk. But when I play on my laptop I can only just squeeze in four tables and I sometimes have a table in the middle of the screen…..I dont like them cascaded.
This means that my chances to get it all-in with a huge Sklansky edge are minimised so I find that I end up going looking for opportunities rather than just sitting back and letting them come. I am not a natural grinder and am struggling to get into that mindset. But I am still $690 up this month an around 12,000 hands and many of those were at NL20.
But I am still convinced that a full-time player could get 60k hands in per month and times my win so far by 5 would get a monthly figure of $3450. Too early to come to these conclusions yet but its not the amount that matters but the amount over the number of hands. I think I will end up playing about 20k hands this month which will be far less than what I had planned.
My associate who was looking to help me on the 1st May will struggle to find out everything that I am doing in the short time that we have so his results would be pointless at this stage so I am going to persevere on my own. I let things get away from me yesterday and the $44 loss was my worst this month. But I have had a quick look at my play around the blinds and it can be improved.
Anyway….I am off to watch the football so see you soon.
