I haven’t posted this week because I have been determined not to post a whine fuelled bitch fest of a blog. I have been on a nasty downswing. It sucked. I seem to be dragging myself out of it and hope to finish the second half of the month strongly. So how do you deal with a dose of the ol’ run bad? I’m not expert, but here is what works for me. 1) Move down early enough. Don’t wait until you are down to your 40 buy ... <a href="/blogs/thesphinx1/60591-Pushing-through-the-storm">(continued)</a>
The answer: When your mental state is balanced whether you win or lose is a key indicator of a winning player. I remember that for my first few years that I played poker that the highs and lows were so much more pronounced than they are now. This seems kind of ridiculous seeing as I was playing $4.40 sngs and donking around in 50nl. I would get so excited when I won, I think the 180 man sngs pai ... <a href="/blogs/thesphinx1/59771-When-you-know-you-really-are-a-winning-player-">(continued)</a>
Firstly, thanks for all the pms I’ve received. I’ve had 5 or 6 enquiries for some free RUSH coaching and have a couple of sessions scheduled. Good to talk to Acombfosho on skype today, looking forward to hopefully helping you guys crush. As we move up stakes, just being able to value bet properly, make good folds and hand read a bit is not enough to have you smash it. Exploiting regs becomes really importan ... <a href="/blogs/thesphinx1/59381-Exploiting-regs-by-using-your-HEM">(continued)</a>
Obviously there are some different ways of crushing RUSH but here’s what’s worked for me. Many of these are things that work well in ‘normal games’ 1) Tight is right: I’m playing like 16/14 6% 3bet 2) Don’t waste your time getting into levelling wars with regs 3) Work on playing well deep. Most players, including regs, are horrible deep. You get deep a lot playing RUSH sometimes up to 500bb each-so work out a solid ... <a href="/blogs/thesphinx1/59231-The-ten-RUSH-commandments">(continued)</a>
Mental game is what a lot of people really struggle with. It’s an easy game when we’re flopping sets all over the shop and value betting donks to death who gleefully call three streets with tp no kicker. But when things are going wrong, constantly bricking draws with monster flops, having a fish hit make some random two pair on the river it can seriously screw your game up. You start missing value bets, taking c ... <a href="/blogs/thesphinx1/59101-Days-like-today-are-priceless">(continued)</a>
So, I thought I’d finally take the plunge and start a poker blog. I’m a 29 year old guy who has dabbled in a most forms of NL poker. I had quite a good amount of success in tournaments last year: http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/fulltiltpoker/the_sphinx1/poker/results/13DC7BCD9B76418EBC390DEAE74895D7.html?t=2 However, I have always preferred cash games but had really struggled, not as badly as my PTR suggests, but I was roug ... <a href="/blogs/thesphinx1/58811-Introduction">(continued)</a>
… you think you’re going to be awesome at it until you try it out. In case you didn’t know, live poker is really easy for anyone with a brain. Having a brain, poker seemed like a good idea 4 years ago. Still playing regularly I decided to quit the wiffle stakes of live poker to try to learn the harder version… and it’s killing my life. Adjusting to these nitty uNL players is turning out to be a lot harder than I thou ... <a href="/blogs/ipwnflips/56531-Online-poker-is-like-sex-">(continued)</a>
Hey guys. Although i didnt wanna post any results really, i am going to now. The reason is very simple: I have lost my 100nl-winnings, that took me 3 weeks of very good play, on 200nl in 7 days. I also started losing on 100nl. I lose every flip, i get coolered all the time, i do play some hands badly, make some calls that might not be very good, etc So, i thought, maybe i am just too bad. And i filtered my HEM-Reports, and that ... <a href="/blogs/vegasmidas/40361-200NL-Sucks-">(continued)</a>
In January I started playing 25NL 6max Rush Poker. I lost countless buy-in’s day after day. So in spring I joined DC and worked hard on my game. Pretty soon I was beating 100NL Rush… My bankroll got bigger and bigger. At the start of summer I moved up to the next level. The first 20000 hands were my best days in poker. But it was only a matter of time before I fell deep into the valley of unhappiness… 200NL Rush Poker took my mone ... <a href="/blogs/vagabond/36331-Soul-Crushed">(continued)</a>
