2 Comments Back On The Grind - 02/12/10
I played at Crown a few nights ago.
The short story is that I played real terrible at the start to be in for three buy-ins on a $2-3 NLH table before kicking myself in the ass to play better and grind back to near even . . . only to donk it all off at about hour twelve of my session.
Following my live donk off and my downswing online, there was only one thing left to do.
. . . I grabbed the noose, hung it over the . . .
No. Just kidding.
Instead I made a few adjustments to my strategy and jumped back on the horse to continue to grind the $0.10-0.25c NLH tables.
So far things have been solid with the adjustments I’ve made helping me tighten up my leaks. Although the profit hasn’t fallen in droves as yet, I’m hoping that their just around the corner.
I do have a question for the Tilted Behaviour readers out there.
Is it possible to be playing $5-10 NLH on PKR by the time the WSOP rolls around?
I say it is possible if I continue to put in some high volume and run a little better than I have over the past couple of weeks. I do think it is unlikely though as most of the higher games are played only six-handed, and currently I tend to stay away from short-handed play because my strategy is a little too weak (I believe).
But for arguments sakes, here are the increases in limits on PKR; $0.25-0.50 ($10-$50 min and max buy-ins), $0.50-1 ($20-$100), $1-2 ($40-$200), $2-4 ($80-$400), $3-6 ($120-$600) and $5-10 ($200-$1000).
I think you will probably be playing 1c/2c by the time the WSOP starts, or possibly you will end up grabbing that noose and …
Just kidding
It is easy when you have not played live for a while to “donk” it off in the live games, especially at crown going after those ATM machines, to end up getting up from the table to go attend one =/
If you feel your taking the right strategy, then keep at it and you should slowly progress, but honestly if you move up and the players are significantly better, go back down if you are making ok profits until you have a real strategy for those better players.
You shouldn’t be looking to play any more than the 1/2 or 2/4 type of $$$ by mid year, that is alot of bank roll you will need behind you for the higher games to take into account running bad. It has to be said the 1/2 and 2/4 on weekends will bring in alot more “donks” online who have little idea how to play and expendable money, more than the 10/25c tables.
Anyway GL!
