Players: Yesterday seen my first live poker game in 3 months, that in itself, is disappointing. However, one week after the student loan came in; I was back on Full Tilt, and back playing live. It was a great way to restart my enthusiasm for poker, a table of 9, 4000 chips, and beers in the fridge. My aim beforehand was to cash, and if I cashed, to win. Although I had no game plan, I knew I wanted to play solid cards and if I seen opportunity to play position I should try. I stuck with this throughout the night and made a couple of plays, however I think sometimes I was a bottler when I felt there was a bluff here or there that could re-raised them off. April 15, 2009

Recession wasn’t a good thing for me and poker, March 09 caused me to withdraw all my funds into my bank account causing my recreational poker to plummet to zero.
Well, I like to think it was the recession, however the more realistic reason would be the lack of funds for drinks and beans during my student life. That mixed with unemployment and no student loan installment for two months meant money was running out quick. But now I’m coming back. I’ve decided to retire my previous user themouth8, after having many triumphs and disastorous falls, with all to show for it some beer money and a full tilt poker hat and tee. Deep down I know in those two years I’ve managed to shape a pretty good understanding of poker. By all means I’m no pro, but I think themouth8 depicts my transitional stage from thinking a4 any position, and time was good, to understanding how AA can be a pain in the arse! So here I am starting a fresh, a new user, and a new bankroll. Just waiting for the government backing, they must see potential. I don’t need textbooks anyway now we have the internet! I’m hoping that once I get back into the flow of things I’ll be able to use this summer June 09 - September 09 to try and fund my lifestyle without the need for a job. That means I’m going to structure times to play, try eat/sleep/exercise well (not too sure about the latter!). This blog is going to help me try and complete that goal with the use of retrospect. Over and out. |
