You Gotta Know Your Limit

Hey, dont get me started on ego matters, I despatched with mine some years ago when I finally realised that I was not as good as I thought I was……and then started from scratch and rebuilt my game like a golfer rebuilds their swing and I was back like the six million dollar man……you know the saying from the cult 1970’s series……”a man barely alive….we can rebuild him better than he was before…..better…stronger….faster” cue theme tune.

 Well that is me, whenever I am playing limit hold’em multi-tabling I am part man part machine. I am robot man simply churning out the hourly dollar rate. It sucks….but then again as any pro gambler or stock market trader will tell you…..gambling is supposed to be boring. If you find it exciting then you sure as hell aint doing it right.

So I grind out 27BB last night at 10-20 limit playing three tables….$540….it aint dramatic and it aint Vegas but it sure is wages and it sure beats an awful lotta jobs. I keep having to tell myself this from time to time because I tend to lose focus on my real goals sometimes.

The 25-50 was dead, hope that my targets have not flown the nest but I have a feeling that they will be back over the weekend….dont know why….just a hunch.

 I am spending more and more time these days doing my second favourite gambling pastime….trading. Betting exchanges have long since held a fascination for me and it was www.laytheodds.com that refuelled that desire last year. A great site for anyone wanting to learn and earn from betting exchanges.

So I made a few quid this week during the afternoons, I like it better than limit hold’em even though they are both mechanical processes…or at least they are the way that I perform. I am also finding that my betting exchange turnover is steadily rising as well. I better be careful here or people will stop coming to me for poker advice.

Hey….whoever said that you could not fight a war on two fronts…..happy hunting.

 see ya soon
