New Attitude

Poker is just a hobby for me and it’s how I relax after a day at work. I don’t expect to really make any kind of money out of this and I don’t have grand expectations for results. “goals” are out the window now and they only caused me trouble before. I just want to have some fun playing and maybe earn a couple of bucks along the way. As long as I play within my bankroll that should help keep the tilt monkey from ruining my fun. I realize to make any amount of real money it takes too much time and effort and that sounds like another job to me!!! I won’t be blogging as much about the specifics of what happened and it will be more about unusual hands or things I see. For example I have noticed a few silver stars lately and that is something I NEVER saw before. I checked a few of them and it looks like some just went busto but a few are just high grinding guys. Then last night I saw a gold star at my table. This guy has played over 6,000 $1.10 DON’s in under 2 months!!! I was like WTF that’s a lot!!!! And his total profit was just under $300..a whopping $.05 return on each one LOL. Now I don’t know how many tables he’s playing at a time (he was hidden from search) but it has to be a lot plus he has to be playing a lot of hours!! Even if he is 20-tabling that is still probably 5 hours a day EVERY single day. All of that for $150/month?? He’s not making enough FPP points to really do much with either. Sounds like an awful lot of work for a very small return. I made the same amount last year in less time with only 1/10th of the tourneys. Something else I have noticed this past year ( I still watched people playing online even if I didn’t play myself) is that people are much more aggressive now. I am seeing fewer all in showdowns with good hands. It’s a bunch of garbage now. Seems like tight is right even more than ever now at the low levels where nobody pays attention to how many hands you play.
Well until next time.
