Aggressive move up stakes
I've been feeling pretty comfortable this month with my play and with my new found zen I have made some aggressive moves, but not without a plan. It's strange, but I feel like my mind has just done a 180 in how I see the game after taking a few months off. Â
Things I've done differently this time around:
- Moved to 4tabling 6max from being a FR multi-table grinder
- Not depend on my money from poker so much
- Limit my sessions to a few hours (no 8hour marathons)
- Realize and accept my own emotional (my major weakness) and mental tendencies/reactions
- Let myself just enjoy the game and decision process
- Have a plan, but realize that things change and my goals aren't a be all end all for my success as a player.
With that said, I am taking a shot at 100NL. It isn't quite as drastic as it might seem because I was a regular at 50NL in FR, but I started off at 25NL this month to get back into the swing of things. I am not rolled for 100NL, but have enough points to get the $285 bonus on stars, so my plan is to see how it goes and if I drop 3BI, I'll move back down to 50NL and buy the bonus to replenish. Looking pretty good so far. Had one rough session at 50NL, but I have been making good decisions at 100NL. I have controlled my spew tendencies because I really don't want to have to drop back down. There are definitely some better players at 100NL, but I haven't noticed it being hugely different from 50NL. So much of the game is a mental game with oneself. Wish me luck.
