Right, a RaisyDaisy exclusive prime time article to read here!
After some miscommunications and other weird stuff that made me go instant life-tilt, I decided to take one year off my life to explore life.... with Poker!
I will not go into details what happened as it is just a waste of energy and I rather want to save it up into a bottle so I can drink that instead of a RedBull lol...
I will spend this year more on exploring life, travelling and sponsor the costs by playing poker. But by playing, I mean learning and playing!
The countries I am visiting for sure is Copenhagen, Denmark and Firenze/Florence, Italy since I am totally in love with Copenhagen (and it's girls
) and I adore the historic arts and sight of Firenze, sugoi!
Concerning Poker, I moved up to Stars on 50NL since Party was not really the place to be although for 6 á 8 tables , it was quite okay. I couldn't resist the bonus offered by Stars.... hihi
I kind off miss the ShortStackness back when I used to play 200NL or 100NL. I could move up to 400NL SSS but I didn't do it since I wanted to explore in the Poker-Galaxy. I didn't learned much by just playing SSS though the paycheck(= profit as a result of Consistent Good Play ) was solid and consistent.
I still see people keeping track of their bankroll with SSS and base their moods/emotions/verdicts on the results. Please don't do this, with the shortstack, you cannot have control over more than 2 streets (pre & post but maybe you play the Turn but that's mostly either SHOVE or FOLD)
Even though I am doing a sabbatical year, I do not know if I want to devote every day into learning poker consistently. I got the motivation & discipline for it, I know this and it can sound cocky but hey, it's self-confidence
!!
Maybe I will find a full-time job in the early mornings so that I have a consistent biorhythm. Moreover I think I will apply for a Fitness club or something like that to keep me fit. I mean cycling to the KFC every tuesday is +EV but that's only once per week lol!
My learning :: playing ratio is like 75/25 and I have to level it towards 60/40 to find the optimal balance into 50/50 but I think, the stage where I am in now 60/40 is okayish, 70/30 is excellent!
As careful as I am, I will gradually move up the limits and mass tabling is a big no-no unless I want to play SSS =P
Last but not least a small tip for live homegames and stuff: Never ever mindonkbet/fold with a Fullhouse on the River if you hold [8c 7s] on a [Jh 8s 2d] [2h] [2s] board being IP against a Girl nit who deviates from her preflop & postflop line >_<. Zeeboo theory did his work and Karma showed me [7c 6c] 76 of clubs, total Air Ball FML
And since I am a bad player during homegames, my 3bet/4bet range only consists of Trash (GusPoker) or Seven-Deuce (Whenever this game is applicable =D)
A {poker}year full of opportunities, it is now up to me to seize those opportunities and take advantage of it
Take care & thanks for reading!
