My Strategy
I got my first 6-max coaching session last night. I thought it was quite good. I have two more sessions coming up, and I should know by then if i actually hired the right guy for the job. He did manage to pick up 2 rather large leaks i’ve been doing. Two things that I was doing the entire way up to 400nl but got lost in me ‘being very good at poker’. I was playing far too many hands out of position. This is common sense but I seem to get lost in myself sometimes, and out thinking my own image/opponents.
Either way, I have determined my strategy and what i hope to gain from these lessons. I would really like to be a player who can sit at either 6-max tables or full ring tables and be profitable. Honestly, before this lesson i don’t think i was too profitable at 6-max. I knew it was little things that were keeping me from being truly profitable at 6-max, but just couldn’t put my finger on it. My strategy is to become a top full ring pro, by cutting my teeth on 6-max tables. By taking the skills I learn to beat 6-max players, I think I will become quite profitable against full ring fish. I hope this turns around the break even stretch i’ve been having. I will now be a tag 6-max player for the next 2 weeks and learn the ins and outs of 6-max. Enjoy your break from me at the 200nl FR tables boys.
My job. Well its starting to look like my company is getting slammed. There have been two cuts already and there’s the overwelming feel of a third cut coming. In all honesty, I’d be surprised if I made it through a 3rd cut. This all considering my work is really slowing down. I wouldn’t be too upset, but I would still be sort of offended i think. I think its just the principle of the thing. I like my job, and I like the people i work with, so i would really like neither to go away. But with the economy as is, what can ya do? I’ll just sit back and see where the axes fall, if i happen to catch one, I think i will take a break.
Its not that often that people are given an option to pursue something they have been wanting to try. I will become a professional poker player for a few months, basically until i get tired of it. I will tell my company that if they want me back, just pick up the phone and i will likely not have another job, so i wouldn’t mind coming back on board. The professional poker thing would be fun, and likely not a permanent thing. So i’ll keep you guys posted on how the ax falls at work.
