Hey and was geht ab?!
I thought long about it but then I decided to start a new poker blog. A lot of stuff changed, I've been through a lot, I've read a lot, I danced TONS of salsa, but now I am looking to build multiple income streams. Poker will be one of them. Though, I will not set any money goals. All that counts are the negative experiences. That sounds paradox in the beginning, but it makes totally sense. In the past I tried to avoid going through downswings, and losing money. I hated it. I used to grind it back for hours and hours into the night. Very unhealty... I was so much into winning money that I ignored any
feedback on proper Bankroll Management and even lost $250 this year on directly grinding 25NL without any proper practice in between... ouch. It's time to switch gears and welcome every uninevitable BS.
We will start back on 5NL with a 30-Stack BRM, with 5 Stack-Shots, for each Limit that comes after this (maybe 40 for 50NL).
I probably mix in some tournaments when I have the roll for the stakes I'm motivated to play. For that I take the
traditional 100 Buy-In BRM for regular tournaments, and 200 for Turbos.
Now to the most important part of this post:
What do I give a fuck about, and what do I give no fuck about at all?
(Short explanation: There's are just a limited amount of energy we have during our days and we don't have enough
to care about every piece of bullshit. Thus, it's important to figure out what we value and what we don't)
I value/give a fuck about:
Constant Growth
High Quality Play
Having tons of fun while playing and growing
Energy-Management
Mindfulness/Presence/Awareness at any times
Mental Strength
Efficient Off-table work
Proper Breaks
I do not value/give no fuck about:
Variance: It's there and we can't do anything about it but accepting it
Haters (go somewhere else, you aren't welcome in here)
laziness
Therefore my goals with poker are...
going for what I value, and forgetting about what I don't value
staying within the given BRM (probably the most important part of all)
updating this blog on every day I play (5-6 days a week) and giving a short
update on how things are going, what I'm working on, roadblocks, funny/exciting/difficult hands...
not seeing poker as this serious thing anymore, but more as a fun game with great financial benefits if
played well. I just realized that I've played the best when I had fun playing (fun = source for creativity)
not being focussed on money or variance (there will be no bankroll updates)
taking at least one day off a week and not think about poker AT ALL
Oh, and btw:
I will probably look out for some people to discuss poker with in the near future.
Shoot me a pm. You should be playing 25NL already.
See you at the Stars-Tables
