HARD GRIND HARD TIME!

Man i am getting so pissed about writing these sad as articles about the grind. Good thing is i can't wait until things come together so i can write my book.It won't be a top seller but you never know;A poor black guy with no way out finds redemption playing poker online;A true story at that also so let's just see what happends.

You know though in order to be a great player you have to play like one good are bad.And i im starting to realize this as the days go by,that every move is critcial.And that every decision you make at the table you have to answer for it in some sort of way!

One big kicker for me is picking spots to make moves;There was a time where i would play robot poker.Well i had to realize that even though this works sometimes;I still had atleast 5 other people who disagreed with me. So now my play had become alot more solid than it has been.

I am real careful about picking and choosing my spots when i use PAR or consider a raise ect.Overall i have noticed a few things that i feel will help me in the long run.1st off i have learned to be the pusher and not the caller.In Texas holdem there is no room for the caller;and profit will be short lived if you continue to do so. Also after speaking with a few good players;I have learned that your main goal is to at most,always have posotion on the other players.

I have leanred to stop playing big ots out of positon;Thanks to Jennifear of www.jennifear.com as well as Utter Czar another very good player. I have really been tryig to get a more pro view from good players about my play. I do have a bad habit of running into big hands though. But this is also a habit i am learning to keep to a low.

One of my biggest problems is gettig a huge stack and donking the chips off. Or i will get HU as chip leader and play long ball too much without a real hand to do so. In this game i have learned to have patience no matter what;Becuase the next hand can always be AA or pocket TT's.

I can't tell you how many times i have busted or lost a big pot,with a hand that i could have folded. And then the very next hand pick up a monster that otherwise;Had i been patient i would have won the hand. But right now it's been a long ass learning curve,and soon i will have all the parts in the right places. Besides i really need to hit my mom's up with some cash to fix a problem that i have cuased.

But hopefully with god knowing my heart all will be fine;And i can start to get thing back to normal. The only sad thing is that i will be heading back to the city this weekend. Me and my sister are moving back home. I really like it here with all the peace of mind that i get everyday. But change is always a good thing!
