Come back

In the last weeks i wasn’t able to play from Italy on my EU account. I used the time to learn new things about the low limit cash poker game. I reached to the conclusion that i knew so little about what poker truly means and that i was playing so wrong.

I decided to develop a strategy for preflop play and stick to it, because i had only a slight idea about it before. I am not going to start to play again until i will have this strategy in place.

I also decided to improve my post flop play with some prefabricated tactics that will derive from my new starting hands and i will test it in the game.

Starting with 20’th of December i will return home and i will be able to start again with great ambition and a lot more knowledge.

As a conclusion, this period of not playing and only concentrating on studies has brought me more EV than just playing blindly as i was doing.

I read quite a few articles from: http://www.holdem.ro and http://www.deucescracked.com

I read 2 books (Elements of poker and Small Stakes Hold’em)

I listened to the newest episodes from http://www.pesteprajit.ro and subscried to http://www.pokernews.ro

I feel that this has elevated a lot my poker skills (although i couldn’t put this to a test right now) and i finally understood why the study is as important as play experience.

I can’t wait to start again with the 42 buy ins that i have at 5NL
