I think I am in a poker rut.

Rate this Entry
I'm just not sure what to do about it. I can't move down in levels....there really isn't any lower to go. I suspect that I'm not ready to move up. Even though I win on a very consistent basis I am just not sure that I'm ready to move up to larger buy ins. But I feel like, no, I know, that I am not doing as well as I did before. This year (so far) I have a 58 % ROI. Which sounds good until you realize that at the stakes I am playing it's not that much profit. Last year my ROI was 65%. My ITM percentage has actually gone up by a percent (was 23 now it's 24) but I am making less profit. I think I have gotten to be too tight. Perhaps going from a solid tag game to a tight somewhat passive game. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I think over the coming months something is going to have to change. I might start with playing less. So if you don't see me around as much that will be why.

    Juan, I completely understand where you're coming from.

    I started to play weak passive in PLO and predictably got crunched. I'm taking some time off to plug the leaks and think in the long run it will be a beneficial break.

    Hang in there!

    It will be strange not seeing young everywhere I go....but when I doubt my game getting away from the computer always help me...then after about 72 hours....I start to get excited about finding a game worth my time again!
