The wife was away so I played WAY too much. I netted about -1 buy in. One thing I noticed, I am not sure it’s the most profitable way to play to get in line on a super loose table, why you ask? Well I will tell you, at least at $50 NL I am the better players get in line at these tables, so you have a table of good players and one bad one, you simply have to wait your turn.
In truth I find the best way to make money is to start a new table and wait for it to fill up. The fish just sit and play anyway, why try to feed on a fish that has others already after it, just open a seat and let them come to you.
Cravings...
I am getting 6 max cravings. It can get boring playing at a 14 or less VPIP, I find myself loosing up to much and getting hammered, then tighten back up and getting it back. All poker is about position and FR it is so important and you spend most of the time out of position, so playing less and less hands. Yes it is easier to play 8 to 12 tables full ring, but I am really wanting to try it again.
I think I think I am going to take a shot, not a shot at $100 NL but 6 max and see how it goes, I have 40+ buy ins at $50 NL, I think if I play careful I can do ok. If I get my head handed to me, there is no shame in going back to full ring. I may also look for a coach to help the transition.
Why you ask? Since I have been doing so well at Full Ring... well if you have not noticed 6 max is the trend of poker, more action etc, Hell look at the training sites, DC has 1 FR video every 2 weeks, and at least 1 6 max video a day. If we are not careful we are going to be left behind. Just like anything else its all what you make of it.
Let me clarify one thing. I am not planning on switching to 6 max full time. I just want something to change things up a bit, and focus more. I am planning on staying at my current level, and playing it for fun. If it goes very well, I will keep it in my mix of games, if not I won’t. I stand by Full Ring is the best way to make money, especially in the micros and playing 6 to 9 tables and winning smaller amounts is the best way to go. I just want to change things up.
I am not going to play ring PLO8 and tourneys and SNG's SUCK so this is what I came up with.
I think one thing I am doing is carrying on too many IM conversation via Skype while playing, including sending hand histories back and forth. I propose to you everyone ... Go to a site like WeakTight and open an account, you can post hands there at your connivance on that site, we can become friends on the site and subscribe to the RSS feed, this will put the hands into your Google reader where we can look at the hands at out leisure. If anyone wants to follow the hands I post my account name is jwthoma
For those I chat with via Skype, I will talk via Skype while playing, but I am going to stop typing and playing. I generally play at a table less then an hour or take a break every hour. I will get back to you.
