Poker Only Update
Somehow, somewhere, I have remembered how to play poker. Either that or I am suffering delusions of grandeur consistent with an extended heater.
So, here is the deal. I played crappy for quite a long time while trying to clear a recent Poker Stars bonus. My bankroll dropped somewhere down in the $150 range, forcing me to focus enough to re-build my bankroll. It's awfully tough to collect VPPs unless you are playing at least $0.50/$1.00 limit (and $1/$2 is MUCH better) so I needed to do that.
Somewhere in all of that focusing, I simultaneously rebuilt my bankroll and I remembered how to play. Anyhow, my bankroll steadily climbed and climbed. I have been particularly good about tilt control -- in short, I can't remember tilting in a long long time. I have also been really good at staying focused when I am playing. I am playing fewer tables and I am rarely surfing the net while playing. Also, when I am tired or uninterested in playing, I have been very good at quitting the game.
In short, I am kicking ass. I am playing aggressive but not too aggressive. I am also doing a really good job of picking off ridiculous bluffs. Today has been especially good, as I am up almost $150 over less than 500 hands (since the big bet = $2, this is a ridiculous win rate).
My goal is to build my bankroll up to $1000 and then to cash out every time that I get to $1200 and repeat. Eventually, I'd like to start playing for higher stakes again, but I am really enjoying all of this winning right now.
The bad news is that I have not had time to go fishing. I am hoping to go next weekend, but it looks busy. It sadly might be May 11th before I get to go.
