Battle of The Bloggers VI

It's coming up in April 2011.  That's a NLHE event which requires preparation.  Currently we're working cash games with a new HUD so that's a good start.  The tournament game requires some effort.  We need some lessons.  Don't mind paying for a couple of months but that $100 up front is tought right now.  Let's see if we can earn it.

If NLHE is going to require some time, it might we wise to cut back our concentration to HORSE either cash or tournaments.  Cash HORSE games.  That might be a good idea.

Going Back To Work

Turns out that this is an easy game after all. It's so easy that I just started to formulate plans to attend the WSOP this June. There are special room rates for tournament attendees at Bally's, Flamingo, Imperial Palace and Harrah's, all for under $50.




My present dilema is whether to play the two starting day NLHE week end warrior special with an entry fee of only $1,000 or to try to satellite into the Eight Game Mix event for $2,500. There are so many NLHE specialists these days. The Eight Game might be more suited to my talents. My bet is that a lot of these new age hot shots can't play limit hold'em let alone Razz or Stud8. This is likely to be my choice...that is if I can earn the entry fee by then. That is my goal....Earn the $2,500 entry fee to the Eight Game Mix event at the WSOP starting on Monday June 13 at 5 PM...a three day event.



How will this be accomplished? First learn to use very proficiently the Destroyer Hud. Get it at http://crushthegame.com/. Next, buy some hand histories to plug into the Destroyer Hud. Get them at http://www.pokertableratings.com/

Next find the fish...



We'll keep you posted.

Cash Games

This is where it's at.  The discouragement that comes from playing right for a few hours only to be  followed by a bad beat is getting a little bit hard to take.

PT 3 is the software to get us there in this decade.  Poker, especially online poker has been undergoing a dramatic change since MoneyBags made the big killing in the WSOP.

The competition now is even tough at the $0.01/$0.02 limits.  It really shocking to see the number of nits in these games.  But there are fish available.  Now is the time, before they get away.  (See ).

No Limit Theory and Practice by David Sklansky and Ed Miller is the second best investment after the Destroyer Hud to "get it while the getting is good".

Today we made $3 in an hour at these low limits.  My immediate goal is join in with the fellowship of nits and get my VP$IP down to 14 at the full ring games.
