The New Strategy + Entourage

The hiatus is going well. Every so often I really want to play on the virtual felt, but it hasn't been as bad as I thought. Scale of 1-10 - one being indifferent and ten being fucking addicted, I'm like a 4.75. Not so bad, but not indifferent. Anyway, when I'm back to playing, I thought of a brand new strategy. I am very willing to hear feedback from a anyone who stumbles upon my blog.

MTT's

Ever since I began playing online poker, I played about 80% SNG's and 20% MTT's. I consider myself an okay SNG player, but I have never really made a killer profit playing SNG's. I don't know what what's fucked up with my game, but obviously I got on massive tilt sessions within my bankroll and just bloooooowwwwww. So instead of that, I will play more of the crazy players out there and play a disproportionate amount of MTT's over SNG's. I think this will work well for two reasons. I think my style of play promotes an eventual big score and this will help with my late game MTT practice because I desperately need it. Numerous times in the past 6-8 months, i've run deep in the low stakes MTT games, but just can't close the door and come in 8th or 10th and fall short of the nice money and in turn, feel like complete shit. So with a really limited bankroll right now, I can afford to play 3 and 5 dolla MTT's and hopefully just build from there. However, I am going to be open to have to rely on SNG's again given the percent of actually cashing these MTT's. Anyway, it is late and I have to get up at an ungodly hour to work at the local hardware store where I worked all through High School. Now that I'm on break, what better way to spend boring ass times...

A Whole Month

I am on hiatus. Before hell week began at the good ol' University, I came to the conclusion that I needed a break from the online world. Never have I ever been so torn at a decision (I must have a tough life for this decision to be tolling) about choosing not to play online and sticking with my decision. I was so torn because of a bunch of reasons:

1) I know so much about the poker world (both online and live) that a break would leave me feeling incomplete. I've been playing so consistently and talking about it so much with everyone that it would be so hard not to play. Not to mention reading other blogger's posts and feeling the need to play.

2) I need to keep my skillllz sharp. I don't play that much live anymore and online feels like a way to still have my game up to somewhat par.

However, making the decision a week before break, I decided that I wanted to have a break that is a little less stressful and more organized, given that when I play online, I play really late and sleep really late, leaving me feel kind of shitty that I'm not leading a very productive life, especially when I don't cash. And honestly, I don't think that I'm that good of a player. I talk a big game, but I'm not like any of those crazy players out there who are very profitable. Instead, I'm a slightly successful online player, who tilts easily and makes plenty of stupid decisions. 

Now, being on break, I have nothing really to do. I want to play online due to the fact that I'm already bored SHITless. However, since I went all out doing the self exclusion option on Full Tilt for a whole month, I really have no other option. I am sure I will get by just fine. I have plenty of movies to watch, a girlfriend who is also home for break, and family. I'm SO pumped I will be less stressed out. I am just gonna need some shiiiat to dooo. 

To all others on the East Coast, stay warm through this big storm =)

The Cycle

So I go back and forth to wanting to actually have my own blog or to just reading other peoples' blogs and now I have finally come to a conclusion: Just keep my blog up! I have no pressure from anyone to write every day like some of the poker bloggers I do read. I feel rather unoriginal when I blog so I will try to only post when I actually have something pretty legit to say!

For a poker update, I haven't been playing as much as I usually do because college life at the moment is ridiculous with three final's and two papers to bust out in a span of four days. I even had to pull out the self-exclusion a few weeks ago, just so I wont use lovely Full Tilt as a distraction mechanism from doing some lovely Quantitative Methods. I'm still my TaGGGy self, however, and hope to rebuild my bank roll, like anybody else out there. I won't be playing any poker till Sunday (Two days, holy shit), because the gf will be in town. Anyways, to any sad person reading my blog, have a good weekend!
