In case a few people actually read these posts, I wanted to
point out that I matured (a little) and mellowed during my 7 year break. If you read the previous posts you might
notice a different focus and tone. I was
still out to get rich and use poker as my only source of income. Having a steady, well-paying-job, has changed
my outlook and goals for poker. Without
the pressure to win and make money, I have relaxed and can enjoy the game and
improve without a narrow focus.
Eventually I will share hands I play and hope to get feed-back
from other points of views, but I am posting these first few posts to get my
thinking and approach straight in my own head.
They may be boring so feel free to skip them.
I am starting to form a style of play that works for me and
my financial concerns, emotional state, and personality. All these factors are subject to change from
hand to hand and will affect my play from a session to forever. I can only say this is what I am trying to do
to improve and win at poker. If you don’t
like it or it doesn’t work for you, then skip over it and read the parts that
interest you.
One factor that you will probably pick up on is that I am
not aggressive enough. So I will say it now.
“I am results oriented.” It may be
more profitable to push here or raise there but I won’t in order to protect my
stack. As I win, build a bankroll and confidence
in my game, I will increase my aggression.
As for now, the confidence builder of a small win allows me to focus on
my “MANY” other short comings. Hand and
player reading is my current focus. As I
get better, I am also trying to bet for value on a scary river. Small steps, there is a reason(s) why I play 1-2nl.
