So obviously I’ve been running sick hot lately. It’s like I can’t lose an all in. It’s kind of funny reading last post about how it’s only a matter of time before things turn around – well let me tell you they have. To be honest, I think my play has been pretty poor lately and I’ve gotten it in super bad more than a few times in the past two days but managed to suckout for big pots. That’s really why bluffing or semibluffing with at least a few outs is so important. You may not hit them that often but when you do it can make a BIG difference. I’ve reached my goal of 20k hands by the 15th and I kind of think 40k hands a month is on the low end for a professional poker play. Next month I will probably strive for at least 50k hands.
I’ve been reading a little super system 2 lately and today after I read Daniel Negreanu’s chapter on 2-7 triple draw I decided to give that game a try. Let me tell you the play is BAD! I managed to win like $50 playing the game for the first time in my life with literally 20 minutes of studying. Playing the other games at low limits can be a nice change of pace sometimes and something I will definitely be doing in the future for fun and to keep myself from becoming super bored with poker. I have a lot of respect for someone like Jackal69 who makes videos on cardrunners who is proficient at almost all forms of poker from SNGs, NLHE, Limit Hold’em, MTTs, Omaha, Razz, stud, 2-7 triple draw, etc. I doubt I will ever be as good at any other form of poker besides NLHE, but I think it’s good to diversify your game from time to time. Best of luck at the tables and sorry if I’ve sucked out on you recently! I guess I was due.
In case you haven’t already heard Good2cu has a prop bet going with a guy that he can’t live out of a Bellagio bathroom for 30 days. http://www.cardplayer.com/tv/29893 for the cardplayer vid and http://www.shipitholla.com for the details.
