June 2011 Update

June 16, 2011, 3:11 pm

It's been a while since I've been active here for one reason and another (mainly work, studying, and getting in shape, plus girlfriend issues) anyway.

A quick update.

I was losing on PartyPoker consistantly. I thought i was playing ok, though clearly I wasn't as I was losing. I've recently moved to another poker site and signed up for rakeback via Outstanding Poker and I haven't stopped winning.

The two main reasons for the change in results are these I think:

1. There were too many TAGs on partpoker. An average table would see 1 fish, 2 or 3 TAGs, a nit or two, and me. At the site I'm now playing at an average table sees 3 or 4 fish, 1 or 2 TAGs and me.

2. I was calling FAR TOO MANY preflop raises with hole cards i would otherwise raise with had I been first in the pot.

I've still got ALOT too learn but i've moved from playing $0.02/0.04 tables to playing $0.02/0.04 and $0.05/$0.10 tables. I've increased my opening bankroll (at the new poker site) by 300%, and today in 2 hours I made more than I earn in a 10.25hr shifts at my job.

So overall I am pleased. Still got a way to go before I'm actually in profit and making money, but im learning, im enjoying, and im getting better. Thanks Outstanding Poker

  • Thanks Tim, certainly I'm happier with my game and its nice to see my winnings graph going up rather than down finally. Theres still alot of leaks, and im still weak in alot of skills, but im working at them, and will be considering getting some coaching soon too. And i'm loving rakeback. Never had it with my partypoker account. In just a few weeks of having it i've already covered 3 months Outstanding Poker subscription, which is nice :)

  • Hi Widge, Glad your doing well, I think I'm in the same boat with regards to PartyPoker. I feel like I take in what I'm taught in the video's and start winning by applying the techniques then just lose it all on certain tables. Which poker site did you move to? I'd really like to try a move, hopefully I can get back to my original bankroll first then get out of PP!
