For me, I gained confidence from having two things: a complete bankroll and an absolute knowledge that I am a winning player. The only way to be sure you're a winning player at any given limit is to beat that limit consistently for a considerable number of hands... so thats what you are going to do. Play the limit you're at for 20k hands AT LEAST.. When you're done, check your ptbb/100... if you don't think its high enough, do it again.
Morning JJ,
1) Am breaking your 4 post dry streak. It sucks to write diaries & not get interaction.
2) Good to hear the health graph is maybe heading north.
3) Poker theory books? Careful. You ever heard of The Emperors New Clothes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes
4) Can't begin to imagine why a profitable & well-rolled CASH GAME player like you wants to give away x% of your profits to a staker. The world must have passed me by if that makes sense, "but each to their own" works.
5) Which Casino/cardroom was it?
And one of my own. How many points will Sunderland end up with this season?
Well now, here's the thing - you have, perhaps by accident, put your finger on why poker forums are in decline, a subject of which, sadly, I am well versed.
With Twitter, Eff-Book & all that stuff - I even know grown ups - GROWN UPS - who still play Video Games - people expect OTHERS to provide their entertainment, as it's easier than making the effort to post.
Look at this Community, for example - maybe 10 people do a lot of the work, whilst the vast majority just read, rather than post.
I know this only too well, as I have an interest in a forum elsewhere which is, ever so slpowl, dying. People on there point fingers at everyone - me, the Mods, this that & the other - when discussing why post count & interaction is down, but they are the ones who never make the effort to start interesting threads. It's the world of entitlement.
Keep posting, it's become a really well balanced (poker/non poker) Diary, & lots of people love reading it.
It makes no sense to you or me, no, but it makes sense to Dohhhhhhh, so it's fine.
The irony, of course, is that here we have a self-confessed nit, & proud of it (me too), who is deliberately GIVING AWAY x% of his profit.
It will never make sense to me, but to understand the why, you have to understand the person, & I do.
I hope it works out for him. Meanwhile, whoever is staking him, well done, that's a season ticket to easy money, drip drip drip, every day. For the staker, this is Eldorado, profit without risk.
MBN.
also, on the lack of comments, don't look into it. best diary otf
