No doubt this game can be trying. The mental aspect of poker is huge and a side of the game that is often overlooked, especially at the lower limits. Inevitably I have wandered off course. The heads up grind has gotten to me slightly and while i have reduced the number of games played recently I have also dabbled in a number of mtts that originally were not in my plans. I took a small shot outside my roll playing a $33 tournament. Thus I decided to restrict mtts above $22.
The week after my first monthly review went extremely well and I managed 3 good scores in the heads up mtts. This was followed by 3/4 bubbles. :( I then incorporated a few more mtts and reduced heavily my heads up schedule. I plan to continue a reduced heads up schedule until next week and then refocus. I have also decided that I am allowed to play 1 $11 mtt every night I wish. This does not include 1 weekly shot at the big 11 and 1 weekly shot at the big 22. The nightly tournament I plan to incorporate is a $10.50 super knockout mtt in which you get $5 for every knockout. This tournament is extremely fishy. Again incorporating this blog allows me to remain focused and keeps me on track.
I will give my monthly review shortly but for now my bankroll stands at $1730. I am happy with this and hopefully the odd decent mtt score will help me reach my goal but for now gl at the tables :)
In the past I have always just made a deposit, played for a month or so and either lost my buy in or won a few hundred dollars and simply cashed out. I've probably done this several times over the course of 2 years but I have recently started taking my poker more seriously and really want to put in the effort this time around.The biggest problem for me before was just not having the discipline and patience to play smaller limits, and taking risks that my bankroll could not cushion and playing blackjack so this time around I have some general guidelines
SNG STT-20 buy ins
SNG MTT-40 buy ins
Just don't play blackjack
So I made my deposit about 3 days ago and started grinding the $1 STT SNGs things were going pretty poorly at first as I was running horribly, not taking the games as seriously as I could knowing they were only a dollar and easily getting frustrated at the other players and how they were playing. This was a recipe for disaster and my deposit quickly went down to $13, and so I went on tilt and played a 7 dollar STT won that and bounced to 27 dollars instantly. Yes I won, and it helped my bankroll immensely but I was rather disappointed in myself as the whole point of this was to learn good money management. I decided to make a compromise and started playing the 3 dollar triple-up STTs. Since then I have stuck with the 3 dollar games and done much better, as I am now at $66.43. The players are still a little looser than I am used to but I have adjusted my range accordingly to fit their playing styles. Being able to adapt to your opponents is crucial in poker, and so I plan to stick with my stake climbing from now on! Also, I played a few hands of blackjack today, broke even and no harm was done but I need to think of some sort of way to motivate myself not to play it as it's obviously always going to make me lose money in the long run. I'll think about it tonight, I mean just writing it on here for everyone to see how I messed up is a pretty good motivator in itself actually.
