LOL - Forgot to Finish!
Ok! I really should get to bed!
I wanted to say that the reason I was so confident in earning my money back from playing 2/4 and 3/6, higher stakes than what I have been playing, is because I have played them previously. I was a losing player for a long time. Back in San Diego, we have this casino called Barona which is on an Indian reservation. It's there where I played my first limit hold'em game and yup, it was at 3/6 stakes. The competition there isn't very fierce and it's pretty much the same way online except that there were a few more tougher guys. By tougher I mean people who will raise you with nothing as long as they feel that you're weak.
As a losing player, my biggest problem was not making the moves but being consistent, the biggest factors being tilting and discipline. When you play poker, the best strategy is tight-aggressive. Not playing very many hands, being very picky about which two cards you're going to play, and then being very aggressive with the hands you play. Now there are players who can make money even while playing almost every single hand, that takes a different kind of skill that I have not developed and at this moment don't have the time or money to develop.
Anyhow, I feel my future will be bright. I'm really looking forward to this summer. I really hope I can make enough money to play and beat the 5/10 game.
But I also gotta focus on film! >< grrr so much to do, and I'm so lazy =/
Goodnight, I really mean it!
