wiping the slate clean
Posted: April 16th, 2006 | Author: Jeff | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »One thing about my play at the short-handed no limit cash games (6 players) of late is that I’ll be up 2.5 times the buy-in amount early on, but somehow i’d lose most if not all of it due to failed bluff attempts or making bad calls. This has happened three or four times since Thursday.I need to go back to limiting myself to an hour and a half per weekday (max) and three hours on weekends (max). And also learn to play a lot tighter after winning big hands. If I can do the above, I’ll be in good shape. After some of the crazy %@#T I pulled this past week, I’m lucky to still be up overall for April. But hey, I did learn a lot about playing certain hands in different situations and gained more experience playing short-handed (before, I only played full ring games). Mentally, I’ve told myself to not dwell on what happened on Wednesday (played out of my bankroll) and am just focusing on what happens from here on out.
Also, OmniX, myself, and friends will be playing in a relatively high stakes cash game (live) next weekend. I feel I have an edge because I play almost exclusively cash games whereas most of the players are mostly tournament players. Plus, the stakes that we’ll be playing at is half of what I’m used to playing. Experience and instincts go a long way.
