    Online Bankroll Part 7- So Far So Good

    Summary of the Weekend

    Whats up everybody how is your play going? from this past weekend of play, I started my Thursday off with a very nice win. That put me into the 2,200 range, then on Saturday night I lost 2 key coin flips to put me back down to just over 2k. I was still up just over 200 for the weekend and with today's 90 dollar win I am officially at 2,128 and looking to keep building.

    Secret to my Success

    I will start talking about what I am doing piece by piece, each of my posts will have a brief section every week of my way of playing until I have discussed as much as I want to take it. I hope you enjoy and at least understand some of what I have to say.

    This week I will be talking about:

    1. Playing 6 Handed instead of 10 handed

    Why I think short handed is better then a full table game:

    1. Easier to pull off a bluff
    2. Hands go by faster (If your somebody like me that likes fast play then this is better for you)
    3. Easier to single out a certain player cause he will be playing more hands in the longrun

    This is all important to know why you ask? it is a combination of seeing more hands, understanding your players better, and the confidence that you can fire 2-3 shells in a pot with nothing and have a better percentage to win.

    Next week's post

    Tune in next week, where I will give you my latest update on the roll. Also, go into secret to my success part 2 where I will be talking about certain hands and what flops are bad for you and good when playing 6 handed. I think you will find it interesting on what I have to say until then may all your pots be monster.

    • Hey man, glad you aren't too unhappy with the loss. Be patient and keeping playing the 25/50 game until you build up a bit more. Reward yourself with a 50/100 session if you have a few good sessions.

      I think you're spot on about why 6-handed play can be better. It definitely requires you to be more active, which some people (like us) like a lot!

      BTW, I messed with your wiki formatting a bit to put the headings in. Edit the post to see how to do it :)
