I've been thinking a lot lately about poker, and were I am at in this crazy world of it. Can I be a successful cash player? Can I win another big mtt? It seems that since I won the 13k I want to beat that....instead of winning smaller amounts, like 1k or 2k here and there in smaller mtts. This is really not good for me or my BR, so I've decided to still play but study more in comparison to playing poker. More like 30% poker and 70% studying. I am really thinking about joining stox poker and I want to just get as much as I can from that. I also have been just reading and reading on CardsChat. I have went from a mega spammer to a silent studier the last two months, if anyone has noticed. I think this is a time in my life of poker where I am really seeing the reality of discipline and how important it is in order to move up in limits and have a good win rate.
Another thing is after I study a good amount and decide to put more time into playing poker, I might just start at 25nl with 20 BIs and go from there. I will find all my leaks and adjust accordingly also, hopefully through help of others.
Another thing I really am trying to learn, is the HUD software. Before I would never use a HUD and play off basic reads, memory, and knowledge of the other players. Therefor I subconsciously block the HUD when I am in a hand and almost forget about it until the hand is over. I really need to slowdown and see what I've got in front of me.
Another thing I really am looking forward to is training myself. At the lower limits straight forward play is needed and I think sometimes I get a bit fancy and lose my composure. It's time to straighten up and just grind the simple play out until I move up in limits!
