Evolution - poker and otherwise(Now with Song of the Day!)
Let me first explain my rational for creating a new Blog/OP so soon after creating my initial one. In the last week I moved back to school and have a lot more structure in my day which allows for less poker play and this is a good thing. My old OP was basically just the crybaby tilt complaints of someone who had nothing better to do than play hours and hours and hours of very marginally profitable poker.
I recently, with help from both Grinderschool and a new year, have made an exceptional change in my poker game/mindset which has allowed to me to plug a large amount of leaks in my previous game. With this change I have a much greater confidence in my game and feel like I can finally begin to embark on my poker journey.
I have 3 very concrete goals that I will begin this journey with in mind.
1) Quit whenever I feel my edge of the competition slipping away due to tilt or fatigue.
2) Reach $1000 online via increasing stakes as BR management allows.
3) Reach $1500 so I can take a shot at 50NL HU as HU is my favorite game to play.
My secondary goals are simply to continue my growth as a player, win a fairly sizable tournament, successfully cash out a sizable chunk of profit without having to move down afterwards.
Outside of poker I will continue my routine of eating healthy, getting enough sleep, practicing baseball, and regular gym time to balance my poker out with a good outside life.
