Dropping Down !?


I got stacked last night.

After some analysis, I've concluded that I am making the same hourly rate at 5/10 as I was at 10/20. Because of that, I might as well just play 5/10 since it involves using less money. The reason this is happening is because there are a lot more solid regulars playing at the 10/20 - and it is more difficult to get them to make mistakes. So I think I'll still play 10/20, but drop to 5/10 if I see too many regulars on the 10/20 table that day.

To deal with these 'semi-pros', I am starting to play more heads-up online for practice. I used to be a bumhunter, only trying to play the worst players so that I can have a good winrate - but I've realized online should be my hardcore training zone where I play challenging players to improve myself - and ignore whether I'm actually winning or not (since the real money comes from live play anyways, by far). Right now I can completely crush bad players, but as soon as I am up against an aggressive good player - I shut down. My handling another player's aggression is my weakness. I am starting to duel my friend Sean (who is a beastlord btw) so I think soon I will be able to pwn even aggressive good players, then I can crush 10/20 at a rate where I'm actually making a higher hourly rate.
