| Found my niche (finally) So basically I've been trying to find somewhere on PS that I could win consistently in and it seems like I've finally found it. The 5 card draw $1+0.10 6 handed S&G's have proved to be quite lucrative for me. After 12 games of them, I've came in 1st 5 times, 2nd 5 times, and out of the money twice. That's 30$ on a 13.20$ investment, which seems pretty darn good to me. After losing or breaking even at NLHE, razz, HORSE, heads up, and multi-table sit-n-go's I think I may have found my little winning corner of the poker world I'm actually fairly confident that I'm a +EV nlhe and stud8 MTT player, but I don't have the bankroll to be stable in large MTT's yet. Anyway none of this is any use to anyone but I felt like writing this down and I had nowhere else to put it. CC is now my official dumping ground |

| I don't play nothing but tournaments, my first post was poorly worded but I was playing ring razz and hold'em and stud 8. I can break even at the lowest stakes and beat 2NL ok, but I actually prefer the structure of tournaments. I have always been a better tournament player than ring, and maybe that's a little self-reinforcing but I still like the way tournaments are set up. It makes the game more exciting, at least for me. I'd probably get bored playing nothing but ring games too, which I did for a while and pretty much stayed where I started with my BR. |

Do you mean he should be more intrested in making the right play? Is the sample size too small? Just asking because Im intrested in what other way you should measure your game. |

The book I'm reading says exactly this. Don't worry about anything except making the correct decisions over the long term. All your wins and money will follow from this. Setting goals like 'I want to win $20 this week, or I want to place IMM in 7 out of 10 tournys' can be a mistake. Your only focus should be to make the right decision for any given play. This doesn't have much to do with the OP, anyway. He was just saying that he found a game that he seems to be more successful at. |

| re: Found my niche (finally) poker he has a smal sample size because he has a small sample size, ffs. Congrats, OP, on finding your niche, Ive yet to find mine, Im dabbling everywhere, but sngs/mtts were always my forte, purely micro stake online. Congrats again. |

| Update: 30 tourneys, 1st 13 times, 2nd 10 times, not in money 7 times. Still a small sample size, but it's getting bigger. And I'm not saying I found my niche because of how many tourney's I'm winning, but the way in which I am winning them. The competition is so poor that it's not hard to see this continuing. |

| I think that good players focus on one thing and one thing only -- whether they are making good decisions. At the end of the day that's how they evaluate whether they are playing good or bad. Like they say, poker is all about making the correct decision based on incomplete information. |
