Poker Crossroads

Posted by steven14 on November 15th, 2009.

So I began my poker career about five years ago in 1$ and 2$ sngs. I eventually learned the game very well and made a foray into micro stakes cash games, of which I played about 50k hands on FT and of course lost, bc at those stakes you cannot beat the rake.

Once I was confident enough in my skill level, I mixed it up between 10$ and 20$ sngs and some mid stakes cash games (NL).

With all the training sites and information out there today, its not nearly as easy to find a table full of fish as it was a few years ago.

SNGs it is !!

After spending the week grinding sngs and reading everything I could find on this site, I have decided to make the full-time switch to sngs.

I have found many people who are beating single table games for a healthy profit, and I've got plenty of experience in these things. It seems like the worst players online are at the sngs, bc that's the easiest and most fun way to get started.

up and at 'em

Had a long weekend. Ran bad in some games sunday night, wound up in bed by midnight. Resulted in getting up at 6:30 this morning, coffee breakfast and hit the FT tables at 7:15am.

Plenty of games running, sngs and 45 mans. I could get used to the different schedule, as opposed to the night shift.

Playing good ball

I ran pretty terribly on FT over about 50 games, but managed to turn it 'round on AP. I'm being more patient when we get 5-handed and less, resulting in more cashes and more opportunities to get lucky once we reach the money.

That's a good concept, giving yourself a chance to get lucky by getting to the money. If you're short stacked and manage to sneak into the money with 7 bbs, great. Now you've got a shot to double up and make a move at the higher money spots.
