Looking for a Partner (sorry, not "teh ghey" kind)
Hi all. For the past few months (since, say late October), I've been playing fairly infrequently, mainly in games I'm overrolled for, without much feeling of purpose.
This isn't a "whine about my own inadequacy" post though. At least not explicitly. I've come to realize that I'm basically a nit when it comes to money (since I haven't ever really had much) and am most comfortable playing nl200 even though I could probably be making more money playing higher limits. There are lots of reasons for this but I've talked about those issues in a prior long-winded post, so no sense in going into that stuff now. This post is about poker and about motivation.
What I'm looking for is someone who wants to be a kind of partner with me on a journey through nl 6 max up to - hopefully - higher limits. I haven't played higher than nl200 in over 2 months even though I have about 140 buyins. I'm just too content at that game. FWIW I'm a 14.3 PTbb/100 winner lifetime at nl200.
Of course, most regulars play more in a month than I have in my online career, but suffice to say I feel very comfortable at nl200 6 max and don't feel that my winrate is simply the result of running hot. I am planning on withdrawing my roll down to somewhere around 10k and starting a limit-jumping project very soon (probably early February). I know that my best chance of successfully grinding (and not taking days off when I'm winning) is if someone else is journeying (gg cheesiness...) with me.
Ideally, this person would play similar games and hope to jump limits aggressively, enjoys talking a lot about HH's, and wouldn't mind sweating sessions from time to time. The most important part for me is to have someone to whom I feel responsible and that I respect, who will be pushing me out of my idle, overly content state. I feel pretty confident in saying that, in return, I will be a very good partner and will make myself available very frequently to sweat sessions/discuss HH, etc.
Obviously this is somewhat of a crapshoot and it's unlikely I'll just flat-out stumble onto the "right person" for this kind of thing. I already know a couple people who would probably be willing to embark on this kind of project and are awesome ppl and very good poker players, but the simple fact that I already know them makes it more likely that we feel more casual about all of this. I'm hoping to take this very seriously and I find it's usually easier to do that when you're not already buddies with somebody.
If this sounds like it could interest you, plz send me a PM. Thx.
