I was wondering if anyone else has progressed similar with their poker game as I have.
PHASE 1: Clueless. Not knowing what cards to play and thinking it all depended on the flop. Probably lasted approximately six months while consistently losing and replacing my minor bankroll.
PHASE 2: Study. Tired of losing and actually start to buy some books and look into strategies and card selection. I play less hands and cut down on chasing rivers. Actually begin to see a turn and begin to win a little money. This usually falls around year one to two.
PHASE 3: Over confident. Start thinking I'm better than Iam and start to try to put people on hands and get cute with some of my marginal hands. Bankroll on the decline again. I blame this on too much TV. WPT and the WSOP makes 5 6 suited look like aces.
PHASE 4: Getting Real. Starting to understand this evolving takes time and Im going back to playing Tight with good starting hand selection. Starting to study "Real BankRoll Managment" and approach this game more cautiously and understand my strengths and limitations. Bankroll beginning to inch back up.
PHASE 5: The future???
Let me know what you think or if youve found similarities or your experiences are much different. Thanks
