This blog is called "the online poker life..." right?
So why haven't I posted about poker? Because I thought the other posts would be more entertaining? Partly, yes. But truthfully, I was kind of embarrassed about my results.
Confession time...
Before Black Friday (the day online poker was shutdown in the US), I was killing it. I had played nearly 1,100 hours and over 250,000 hands of online poker and was winning at a rate that would embarrass other heads up players at my stakes.
So what happens when I get to Canada...
I lose. And lose some more. Then I win...but then I lose again. Win. Lose. Win. Lose. After a week of (luckily) breaking even I realize things aren't good.
This is not good.
Drastic measures must be taken.
I wake up, watch a 1 hour training video on CardRunners, review all my hand histories, then I play. 10-12 hours per day, constantly making mental notes of the situations that give me the most trouble and thinking how I can better adjust. Nick watches me play and lets me know what adjustments he thinks I should be making. Halfway through the day I stop and watch Nick play for 30min-1hour or so and I take more mental notes, then I keep playing until I'm exhausted, I climb into bed, watch another CardRunners video and review hands...rinse and repeat.
I've been doing this for about 6 days now. AND I'M BACK BABY!!!
Not only do I feel I'm back to where I was previously, I feel even better.
This trip is gonna be epic. I've ran terrible the last 3 days and still managed to clear nearly $2,000 playing $.25/$.50, $.50/$1, and some $1/$2. The original goal was to make $60,000 in 6 months, but I'm pretty sure $60,000 is a joke at this rate. Cleared $120/hour today and am thinking this should be the normal winrate within two months.
Big thanks to TC the MFCEO (Nick, my roommate) for helping me with my leaks and another big thanks to my staker for allowing me to use his CardRunners account for a week.
Alright girls and boys, I'm off to bed.
