I am beginning to realize that BF has had a greater impact on me than I originally thought it would. One of the ways it has adversely affected me is this ...I normally played in tournaments in the $10 to $12 range and for the most part was more than able to hold my own. Now with the big guns gone and the mega plethora(I know it's redundant) of tourneys in the $15 to $50 range missing from many players daily schedule, those who would normally play in them have gravitated down into my $10 to $12 range making the post bubble stages of these tourneys much more difficult.
I still manage to cash frequently, but alas... that's all I seem to be doing is cashing, I am hardley making a profit. I mean, I play a $10 tourney, pop the bubble and now I am in a field of 30 - 40 players where I don't recognize 75% of the players names. I check their names out and see that most of their history was on PS and FT at the higher buy ins, This is also evident by the level of their play. I have been getting crushed post bubble in $10 - $12 tournaments since Black Friday.
So, I have decided to sit back a bit...try to satty into the U.S. Sunday majors...play in the micro stakes cash games while I read a few cash game books, watch some cash game videos and scour the forums for ways to improve my cash game.
Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas on my strategy?
And again....how has Black Friday affected your day to day play and how do you plan to adjust?
Thanks,
