Are You A Poker Prepper?

Hi guys,

Like most of you I've played poker since high school (in the late 70s) but never even considered entering a casinos poker room until 2007 when I first got involved in online poker. In my first years of online poker I was a total chip fountain and I just had a blast enjoying the game for the game. Im quite sure my game would have improved much quicker if there was more a financial need pushing me.

The point of this thread is I want to give some serious consideration to and formulate a plan of attack, as I think you (US Players) should too, as to Who You Want To BE, in the upcoming new era of US poker.

Like I said, in years gone by I had some game but never was consistent winner. Quite the opposite, I was the guy you love to see sit down at your digital table. Im sure I had more fun loosing money than most had winning but I Have Seen The Light.

I now live in Nevada and play regularly live and I do well. Ive only played in 3 ranked multi Table Tournaments, bubbled one and Won the other 2, so I know ive got some skills when effort is afforded.

But On Line my plan is to reinvent myself moving foreword with the reopening of our US Markets.

Im sure there will be many that read this that will question if and when the US Market will even open but I more inclined to be a Poker Prepper. (™)

I would rather have my mindset sorted prior to the flood gates opening, than falling back into a history of unprofitability.

SO: My Question to you…….

What are you going to do differently?

Differently...

Grind 10 hours a day 7 days a week minimum while the boom is on again.

I was talking to a former poker pro and he does not think that there will be a huge poker boom again. Here is what he said when I asked him about it.

I don't think there will be a second poker boom, no. I think the poker boom was a strange point in time, influenced by several factors all happening at the same time. I think the poker economy could be sustainable in the U.S., but not nearly as many people playing as at the height of the boom. Most people are smarter now and realize that 1) poker takes a lot of skill, and 2) that they do not have that skill.

I tend to agree. It won't be another Golden Era. That has passed. If done correctly though, we could see a Silver Age.
