The Dream

“THE CAKE IS A LIE”
(Portals)

Having finished a very subpar month where I did manage to increase my bankroll through some VPP heads up sitngoes 1K buyin and the winner gets €20 – That’s a lot for a nl4/nl10 baller as myself! In other games I simply crashed and burned. A 15 buyin downswing in PLO killed my confidence and caused me to tilt, and one thing I can say; Tilt and PLO do not go well together. I lost a bit in NL also, but also in Fixed Limit.

Then I transferred my roll to the Cake network. There was a good deal in a Danish poker forum and I figured the player pool might be softer, since there is no hud. That point exactly has actually shown very useful to a once hud-grinder like myself. I’m forced to not think about results (I haven’t set up HM yet – why would I?) and I’m constantly forced to pay attention and write down useful notes – or I’ll be completely shooting in the dark.

I already feel a difference, and for now I’m playing a lot better than just one week ago.

I’m up about 6 buyins playing exclusively nl10/plo10 – I’m going to stay on this level for a bit longer and hopefully grind myself up over 20 buyins for the next limit before I take a shot.

I did run well today, flopping tons of sets in PLO and having my hands hold up against their boat draws. They don’t really deserve to hit it when they decide to gamble a stack on T89 w/naked TT.

Hoping you are well,
Chris
