Saturday night poker marathon

On Saturday night I am going to put in a decent poker session on VC Poker. It's been a slow week basically because of work / life commitments so I haven't been able to give it the time I need to but this Saturday I will be back and Ill continue my climb up the ladder! Come along and play!

Red Shades.

P.S. In the coming days / weeks I'm going to finish reading 'The Science of Poker' and give you my views on how it's affected my poker game for the better or worse!

Find me on VC Poker

If you're wondering where I play, I play on www.vcpoker.com. I play under 'redshades86' and can usually be found playing $10 / $20 sit n gos.

And, with perfect timing I've just been knocked out calling an all in with Q-10s. It turns out the guy had J-9 off suit. So i'm ahead, slightly. Anyway, he gets a 9 on the turn and that's me gone. I had to push though as I only had 1000 chips and the blinds were up to 50 / 100.

The way I'm playing at the moment it was inevitable a 9 would come and knock me out!

Do you think positive thinking has any impact at all?

What do you want?

This blog will be building rapidly over the coming days and weeks. I thought this would be a good opportunity to throw a couple of questions out there for my followers.

What sort of poker issues really get your goat?

What do you hate about the blog so far?

Play hands for experience vs playing tight for profit?

Here's my quandry. I generate money from playing tight on sit and gos and cashing in as winner or runner up. If I had the patience I could generate some income from this on a monthly basic. However if I want to become a lion of a poker player I need to play more hands, learn to be more astute, read players and predict hole cards etc. To learn this is going to cost me some serious money along the way. I think it's worth it in the long run

What do you think?
How do you normally play?
If you are a lion, how did you get there?
