DJ Cautious On Stars: The Worst Player In The World

Ahh The month of May is over. Was an up and down month for me.

Firstly I decided to spend more time playing more hands and over the last 2 weeks been playing 200 and 100 plo. Im not going to lie its been pretty tough. When I was not playing much hands I think I was able to focus more and be more fresh and also just fully focus on one table. With my commitment to playing more hands I am playing 2/3 tables at a time and I feel my focus and freshness has dropped. Also it feels much more of a grind rather than when I was just playing one table for only 1/2 hours a day it felt much more fun. So I think I need to find what my balance is and how to get the best out of my time at the table. I also feel the problem with me playing more than 1 table is my game is not improving and I am staying on the same level so I think my goal for June is to commit to just playing 1 table hardcore and get my focus up and my game to a level I am happy with before I step out and play more tables. And this may sound crazy to alot of people I am going to find the toughest tables with the best players at the 0.5/1 and 1/2 and 1 table them and learn from the plays that these players make and see if I can improve my game to a decent level. I think I am going to write off June and get back into focus.

Sickest Concept I have looked at now is at the super super deep tables on stars the 100-250b and antes tables there can be a case for folding AAxx (xx being trash) preflop if there is like a 3 way all in and you know at least one of the players have AAxx as well. I think sometimes we see AAxx and go nuts with it. But if you 3 bet someone 4 bets and some else 5 bets shoves and we all playing over 300/400 bb why are we going to piss it all away when you could be in a situation that you only have 25 equity. Sometimes its worthwhile waiting for a better spot. I feel PLO is all about waiting for the better spots rather than just saying f it im going to gamble. U lower your variance and also you max your skill edge vs certain players by playing flops, turns , river. Il learnt this the hard way this month probably losing around 10 bi this month gambling it up with AAxx.

1 big leak I think in my game is playing both live and online and letting my results in one effect the other. I.e I have a bad session live I go online trying to chase my losses or tilting off my frustrations. Same with if I have bad session online I go live to gamble it up and try and get even.

I think for June I need to make the two seperate and not play both on the same day or only play them if I have won that day rather than if I have lost and I am chasing. I think as I want to improve my online game I should give up Live for a while or just play one varation during one week and then the other the next to vary it up.

 

Anyway now I am going to take a break from online poker. Im off to Vegas for WSOP action for a week and a half to mainly chill out and party it up with friends. I am still debating whether to play in a 1k donkement but I think I am going to focus most of my attention in cash games and night clubs and pool parties!!! And hopefully get my mind right so that when I come back I can attack online with avengence!!!
