Some of you may know me from the tournament section. That is where most of my experience and study has been. I've been playing tournaments for 10 years (playing well and studying well for maybe 4 years)
I've recently decided to add in some cash and try to become proficient at it; at least well enough to earn a decent hourly rate once I bust from tournaments. I doubt I'll ever abandon tourneys but desire having a way to keep playing once I bust (especially when I've travelled out of town).
So for about a year or maybe 18 months I've been playing cash. mostly $1/2 and $1/3. Doing fine. making mistakes and learning a lot but still clearing a decent win rate.
I got invited to play $10/25 on poker night in america ladies cash game which was probably way over my head and probably a poor decision to accept but I sold action and played. It changed into $25/25 right before taping started. and quickly they were straddling almost every hand so it was basically a $25/25/50. yeah...woops. I played mediocre at best but got lucky and made some money.
This brings us to now. I'm going to try and be realistic and humble and go right back to $1/2 where I belong.
My goal in this thread is to learn and share and challenge myself to play enough volume to reach a goal.
I'm rolled plenty well enough for $1/2. My personal challenge will be to make enough profit between now and the end of the year to donate to some charities. Charities that I will let the regular followers and posters in this thread vote on by the end of the year.
I have 130 days or about 18 weeks and I work full time....and I play tourneys.
My #1 goal will be to put in at least 100 hours of volume at any stakes of live cash
between now and end of year.
My #2 goal will be to turn a profit and I pledge to donate 5% of those profits to a tax deductible charity chosen by a select group within this thread.
My #3 goal will be if I am able to turn a profit of $10,000 or more in cash between now and the end of the year I will host a $200 freeroll for a select group within this thread (basically anyone who subscribes and comments semi regularly).
Please follow and give me any feedback. I do not claim to be any kind of an expert at cash. This is a learning process that I hope you'll take with me.
