Playing different forms of holdem - does it work?

#1 18th January 2007, 10:29 PM

Hi again.

I have started playing limit cash games - $2.00/4.00 - and I am doing well. Made about $300 profit in Jan

BUT...my no limit SNG and MTT form has dipped. I have gone from a profitable SNG player on Pokerstars to a loosing player (although this started to happen in December)

I`m not winning in MTT but that is because I`m playing less MTT, so I know why that is.

Has anyone else found a similar problem or do u guys think it is pure coincidence?

It sounds to me like just a case of getting used to a different game (cash is much different from MTT which is pretty different from SnG). They all involve different skills like low-M play in tournies with lots of preflop play vs lots of preflop and postflop play in cash games.

I say stick to whatever you're best at to keep your mind focused on one game, and if you want to expand to something else then play strictly that.

The funny thing is Chuck, that the game I have just started to play is the game I`m doing well with, whereas the games I have played a lot seem to suffer!!!

Quite likely a simple matter of focus & concentration because you are playing something new.
