Staying Alive

This evening, played 3 Sit n Go games - 1st in a 10/1, 3rd in a 5/1, and lost one 10/1. So by the evenings end...I had $50.73 in the bank. As long as I don't have to reload..I am happy.

I have been forced to reduce my playing time to the late evening hours again. The master has laid down the law! So once the kiddos are in bed, then my poker play can begin. Every once in a while I get the idea that I am an adult who can make decisions for myself. But, it seems I am skating on thin ice, so I best behave. Me behave?....hhmmm...that is tough!

So, during the time from 8:30 - 9:30, while everyone in this house is a TV zombie, I will have time to read blogs and perhaps take some time to "study" the game of poker. A few players have mentioned that they have had more success making money playing limit holdem.

With that in mind, I made an attempt this last weekend to play limit holdem and lost about $20. It was a disaster. Plus, right now my roll can not sustain experiments. So before I venture into these waters again, I will get prepared.

For now, you can find me at the low limit Sit n Go games.

Take care all!

Your style does not seem to fit into a limit game. Playing by the hip, and a little lose can work VERY well in NL, but in limit your trying to sqweak out a very thin margin. Every hand counts. Every play is important for your nights success. Not saying you could not do it but it is a VERY different game. You would probably want to start over and buy a Poker book specifically on limit. Like Small Stakes Holdem or something like that..

Sir..you know me quite well..and I agree that both my style and passion are better suited in the NL environment.

While I was winning at NL it was one thing, but after continuous losses..been thinking of trying other options. Just a thought. I do have confidence that I can be trained and learn to play limit holdem successfully. But it remains to be seen.

Litteacorn...Glad to know you are enjoying my blog. As for swaping, absolutely! I'll take that as a compliment.

Iggy...Boy, you can really relate to my situation...so true..mercy of the spouses and kids. But, they can be the joy of life also..so can't really complain to much. Looking forward to our 500k experiment..let's kick some butt!!!

TrumpJosh..You make it look soooo easy! Watching you win at limit didn't look like grinding to me. A grind is playing the 2/0 MTTs for 4 hours to win a whole $2.40...If I have the patience for that, I think I can adapt to the limit holdem tables. What do you think?

Limit poker is for those who enjoy playing shuffleboard in pink tutus while sipping cosmos.
