Still down from my high of $155, but I tried the strategy I outlined yesterday (early this morning) and I’m finishing the day with $120. Not bad, considering I started my most recent two hour session with $75. So it seems to be a combination of the strategy and timing. My most profitable sessions seem to be between 10PM and midnight. Catch me on Party then.
Lost $70 today. Yeesh. I chased hands I shouldn’t have chased. I let other players scare me out of pots. Overall, I saw the pot stealers lose money to the tight-aggressive players. I should have been one of them.
So this leaves me with just a little over half my profits at Party. Still not bad, but it makes me feel like an idiot blowing through half my bankroll. I think I’ll try playing two tables simultaneously and folding everything but the best hands. Hopefully that’ll increase my chances of getting good cards, and give me enough action to prevent me from playing a hand out of boredom. I’ll also step up the aggression on the hands I do play.
…has a blog. You probably remember Wil as the kid on Star Trek and maybe as another kid in Stand By Me. Anyway, his Star Trek character was always annoying, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from his blog. Turns out he’s actually a decent writer, sounds like a decent guy, and is an ubergeek. Check it.
Oh, and he turns out to be both progressive and somehow-related to poker. So now you know.
