I remember back in my blackjack days, the swings were horrendous but the best part about it all was that it was someone elses money. This made a huge difference as at the end of the day, you could go home and the losses were not coming out of your pocket.
Also the biggest skill in getting an edge in that game wasnt in actually learning about card counting, any fool can do that just by reading a book. The real edges came with game selection and getting away with it. The so called experts who claimed to be doing it wouldnt have got within a mile of our team.
But game selection is just as critical in poker too and to underline this still further I have played in three sessions in the 25-50 since we last spoke and have won all three sessions. I have started and left the game when the targets have been there which is something that I have not always done. So the upshot of all this is that I am now $19k ahead so far this month and add to this another 5.5k playing heads up and $950 six tabling the NL50 games on Cake then I am well on the way to recording my best ever month as a professional player (wish all the 19k was mine).
Having a third party scan the games and tell you when to enter them and when to leave them has been massive and they have my mobile number and instructions to contact me 24/7…..I dont always answer depending on the time of day.
But the 19k is still only 4 buy-ins so not getting too excited. Its just that after the past six months, it has come as welcome relief. I have developed a new love of the game and will certainly be squeezing in as much play over christmas as I possibly can.
See ya soon
