Poker Celibacy- The key to my recent success

February 24, 2010

I’m sure most of you have realized that i have slowed down a lot with my poker posts. The main reason is that i haven’t really played much poker. Apart from the social league, it has been a quiet poker year for me.

Today, i played my first freeroll in well over a month on the Pigg’s. It started off fairly well and i quickly found my grove, my game has improved a lot over the past few months and it seems that my new approach and poker ethos is working. Anyway, i slogged it out in the hold’em tournament and managed a win.

I pocketed a nice amount of R350 ( about $35) which boosts my 2010 freeroll earnings to $61.95. Not bad considering i haven’t loaded any accounts with my own money!!!

Feeling in great poker shape, I took R80 from my winnings and played in the R5000 Guaranteed Tournament on the Pigg’s and played a similar game, applying the tactics i have been training for and WHAM… a top 10 finish in 7th with a nice R776.00 purse( No re-buys or add-on’s) and my freeroll earnings explodes to $141.95.

The key to my success at online poker. Poker Celibacy!!! Yes, you heard correctly! I have taken a well deserved break and feeling fresh, fresh enough to pick up from where i left off! I will continue to play once or twice a week but not more and concentrate on quality online poker sessions rather than long innings!

Team Poker Shuffle will be undertaking a furious poker challenge this year.  The task is to build a hefty sum of money using freerolls. Yes, you heard correctly! Team Poker Shuffle will not be putting in any money into this challenge but will use this money to build on.

Our goal is $1000 between us. How soon we achieve this will depend on our frequency of freerolls that we play and the quality of freerolls. The key could be to play freerolls that have seats to bigger competitions for more prize money.

Murphy's law is an adage or epigram that is typically stated as: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong."It is used as either a purely sarcastic musing that things always go wrong, or, less frequently, a reflection of the mathematical idea that, given a sufficiently long time, an event which is possible (non-zero probability) will almost surely take place. Although, in this case, emphasis is put on the possible bad occurrences. Poker and Murphy's Law are good old friends. Have you ever noticed how Murphy's Law comes into play at the most critical times in any poker players carreer. Have you ever noticed: How well you play when you don't have the time to play How badly you play when you have the time to play How you always get beaten with shocking hands when deciding to move all-in with premium hands How you seem to win small pots when you need to win big pots for survival How quickly you can loose your big stack
