After my masters cash, I withdraw some leaving me 2k. I was down to $1600 at one point but now upto $3340. Im also due my August rakeback anytime now which I expect to be around $500. It's nice to be winning at the cash tables again after a mini downswing. Its such a massive turn-around from how I felt just before my masters cash. Im still playing mostly 1/2 with a bit of 2/4 mixed in. I still dont feel comfortably playing 2/4 at the moment. My roll just isnt big enough and its just poor bankroll management. Iv played three 1k+ pots in the past few days (winning 2). Everytime the money went in on the flop meaning there's more cards to come. Even getting money in as a 70% favourite, you still have to dodge a lot of cards and when the pots are so big its very nerve-racking. But if I had a big roll it wouldn't effect me much. Like at 1/2, Im completely happy putting all my money in the middle in marginal situations if I think its the right play.
Iv been thinking about how sick the money in poker is compared to real life. A standard pot at 2/4 might go something like this. I open to $14, the button call as does the big blind. I make a continuation bet of say $35 on the flop and get 1 caller. So far the pots $114 and this is a completely normal situation. Now if I decide to bluff or value bet the turn with a bet of maybe $73 and get called the pots $260. Thats a weeks wages to some people. And yet in poker you can win or lose that (or alot more) on the turn of a card. It's such a sick world.
Gl at the tables poker players, and gl in life everyone else
