I reached over £2,000 today. So I have made over £2K in just under 2 weeks as a 'person who is playing poker for money for a bit'.
Yesterday I played the most hours since I started by a long stretch and it was a pretty frustrating day. I started up but then was down to about £1,700 at worst - a loss of £190, I kept winning some back, then losing it back again and repeating this process. However I made it all back and then some to put me nearly £100 up for yesterday. In contrast today I played for about 6 minutes and made about £65, lol.
I think yesterday was a good indication of the new discipline I have and the benefits of being comfortably rolled for the level you are playing at. Not once was I tempted to move up to regain losses more quickly; I simply accepted it as variance and played on, taking a break whenever I felt like my A game was slipping. It paid off. This is sensible poker. I feel like I am a decent player when I'm playing my A game but too often in the past I have succumbed to tilt and implemented E game which although works for my mate Ed, is not a winner for me.
Why didn't I play this sensibly starting a few years ago? I would be loaded by now... possibly.
I treated myself to a new PS3 game today - Pure, its a quad bike racer with crazy tricks and is good fun. Luckily for me with my 'job' I have plenty of free time to play it. I really hope I can continue this success, the sky is the limit! Good luck at the tables!
