Once Upon A Time

VPP: 824,683

Once upon a time I was a good poker player.........don't laugh, it's true. Over the last week 2 different regs commented on how I was one of the toughest players to play against in the FR games when I first started playing, and one mentioned how they wondered if someone different was on the account now. Sigh.........I've just gone down hill so much over the last year.

Over millions of hands I've slowly developed bad habits that have taken me over, and now I've got to relearn it. It's sad to sit here and pay a coach hundreds/hr to teach me things I knew before he even started his poker career. But it's the draw back of what I decided to do this year.

I pulled up my first 200k hands of FR, (where I had the one of the largest win rates of anyone playing 200nl FR at the time) and looked over my differences. The stats seem the same, but after chatting with Gomukyaself and looking deeper into the hands......they are not even close to the same player. So this coupled with the stuff my coach has been going over with me should get me back to where I was, or at least close.

I also got on FTP and played a few hands on my rouge account there........omg the FR games are incredibly soft there........hmm, have to enter FTP FR into the "WTF am I gonna play next year" basket. The regs there are just as good, but the fish.........well shit they have fish. Not just 40 tables full of reg/nits going for points like me.

Anyway, playing high volumes of 6 max hands just don't work for me. So I'm gonna just grind out the next 2 months on 200nl FR and work on finding the most profitable form of play for me in Jan 2010.

Vikings are in 1st place in their division..........Avs are in 1st place in the NHL........life is good. And to any trators that switched from being an Avs fan to a Redwings fan...........don't you dare try and come back to the good side.....you know who you are.
