Understand people don't want to give away information and you might fall in that category but seeing as you're someone in a unique situation being someone who played High Stakes you could easily add in some stuff to distinguish your blog from other peoples, even if it was just your off the table habits or a little reflection.
As it is your blog will be like everyone elses just with larger numbers than many.
Hi thanks for stopping by.
First of all dropping stakes is one of the best things to ever happen to me. I realized so much more about my self and my ego-induced type lifestyle for a very long time. Its easily one of the most humbling experiences for me ever and am most grateful for it.
Hands: I can't really share or show it mainly because I can't post any links. I wish I could turn into bronze or something so I can do maybe a few.
I'm not going to throw a lot of info but here's a tiny bit..
How the opponents play: Hmm roughly the same as people from 600-1kNL, I would say people in general are really smart in poker now a days and its the most exciting + challenging times. Yet there still a bit too by the books too hard about certain applications and rules. For instance : I have A high, I have showdown value I should never bet then.
This blog was never intended for strategy or anything it was mainly to document accountability+ reflection after losing more then half my roll in such a short period of time. This along with finding my passion and falling in love with the game all over again sometimes I'm not proud to be a poker player and then sometimes I'm like I gave so much for this and I'm so proud of that when I close my eyes and laugh at how much I've seen and done. Not only this but how much more I will see and do in the future. I don't do much off table work, unless I prepare for a session. In order to prepare for a session I eat a pretty big meal first, then I usually stay in the room for 20-30 minutes, close my eyes have my hands grasped together to set myself into the zone. I let my mind think about whatever comes if I think about women, life, people, cars, whatever. I dig into it and try to take care of it. Afterwards I try to set myself into the poker zone, sometimes it doesn't always work out and you kind of get an idea of how well you will perform before you play. For instance yesterday I knew I wasn't going to be in my best shape before going into the tables and I still went at it anyway with a conscious decision of giving it a try and be ready to quit to try again a second round (which went much better with flow and how I'd like to play my game).
only silver so I can't post it!
so that was a 50bb so my winrate should have been slightly higher, oh well.
