Well I've been playing in the same home game now for about 6 months and it's been great. One of those where they are there to play cards and I am there to play poker. I've pretty much got this game whipped now and it has taken its toll. I've been asked not to return. It is my understanding that people are tired of me walking away with the money more often than not. Funny how it wasn't a big deal when they were sucking out on me.
I've mentioned the cards chat site to several of the players there and how it has helped my game soooooo much. I do a lot more reading than posting so I thought I would take this morning to share what this site has done for me.
Since I've been given the boot there was 1 fellow player that has shown some interest in getting better and has taken me to the casino a few times. I haven't broke the bank but I have mad a little money, and I mean dam little. Focusing a lot on the 1/2 NL games. He is amazed at how much I fold compared to him. He doesn't understand how I can be happy winning a measley 30 bucks in the casino. I try to explain to him I'm happy with any winning session because of the time I take studying and reading and playing. I say 30 up is better than 500 down. I'm sure anyone can agree with that.
So as I slowly move my way up the ranks I just wanted to say thanks to all of you here at cards chat for posting and teaching and answering all sorts of situations. If it wasnt' for you I probably wouldn't have gotten the boot, but I also might not of taken the step I need to get my ass at the real tables.
Thanks again!
