What sort of Ringering is this?!
What’s happenin guys?
Sorry about not getting to this blog more often but i’ll do what i can. I finally played a significant number of hands this weekend. I played about 3k hands bringing my monthly total of hands to around 16k. As you can see, i really haven’t played as much as i should. I just haven’t had the motivation and I think that’s pretty typical to hit a burnout moment. I am still burned out about Full ring. I decided to take a different route, a route I haven’t taken in ages. And its worked an absolute wonder with my moral and thirst for the game.
A little history about me. I have always played full ring since i started playing. I have never been good at anything but full ring for the most part. There are 2 exceptions to this. I am very good at HU omaha and I am very good at deep stack 6-max games. I made a pretty big name for myself about 2 years ago playing .15/.30deep stack tables. I tore through those tables and was making an absurd hourly rate for $60 buyin. I decided to give those days another shot this weekend because honestly i was kinda fed up with the same shit at full ring, and wanted to be an ‘unknown’ again. I decided to give it a shot at 100nl deep 6-max tables. That’s $200 buyin with .50/1 blinds. I made $1500 in the first 2k hands… and didn’t run particularly well. Wow, i got people to just tilt money to me. It looks like my 6-max game has severely improved since i last played there, aka when i was playing 25nl.
I am very good in 3-bet pots and much better at bet sizing and tilt control. I have been just tearing these tables up. I think i love 6-max. I will continue to give 6-max deep tables a shot and see if i can climb the ladder there like i did back in the day for full ring. I think i’ve reached the top of my full ring capabilities. I can’t seem to beat 5/10nl on a regular basis and recently i’ve been having trouble with the full tilt 2/4nl games.
I am completely rekindled. I find that challenge i had some long ago and wanna try it again! Anyways, my month as you might imagine took a shot up. I’m up currently this month around 3k with rakeback considered, which is pretty good considering i was down money like a week ago.
A 6-max ringer? I never thought i’d see the day. Lets give this a go.
On a sidenote, I am scared shitless of the economy. Our company has made 2 massive layoffs and it would appear more are on the way. I wouldn’t be surprised if i have to play poker professional not by choice. Here’s to hoping i get to keep my job. Later guys.
