My Test of my Own Skill and Discipline

Wednesday, August 06, 2008 07:37

I have been playing poker a long time now; this is my first blog post on a site though so bare with me. I am a player who consistently plays above his bank roll, and needs serious work on their cash skills. I will be the first to admit that I am a tournament player. I do well in medium sized events, but tend to blow large chip stacks when I get that invincible feeling of not losing a hand in hours.
So that being said I started a blog to try and talk out my play so I can go back and look at what I am doing wrong as well as being opened to the criticism of others. Bring it on I like it.
First things first, I have a bankroll on stars that recently took a major hit dude to a set of set hand, where the player four flushed me in the end, but hey it happens.
Now for the challenge I put on myself. I currently have two tickets to the WCOOP Step 2 (yes I know two) but I decided if I am going to do this right I needed to have a backup. I am going to clime the steps and try to earn my way into the WCOOP main event on stars. I also have a reload entry ticket to the special event t his Saturday to direct qualify. I am challenging myself to put all my efforts into getting into the event, which means no more turbos to try and gain cash, no more 1 /2 tables. I will play as if my bankroll was $200 play only 5% of my bankroll and try to get 7.25 each time if I eat up my tickets to re-buy into step 1. Buy September I plan on having a entry into the event I will keep updated on my status and my play, you can find me at any time on stars if you want to watch or try to stop quest.
If I do not reach my goal of making the main event I will take it as a sign that my play style needs evaluated and start reworking how I play. Thanks to all who are reading and wish me luck.

See you at the tables—
