"Sometimes doing the right thing loses you money and the wrong thing gains you money. The trick is figuring the right time to do the wrong thing and the wrong time to do the right thing"
Okay since I was sick I spent alot of my bankroll on necessities so looks like I'll be playing alot more online. I really like "Poker Tournament Formula" strategy. Playing small ball poker whilst the blinds are low, then tightening up then playing long ball poker when under 29 big blinds. It seems to really be working for me. This combined strategy with my learnings from David and Ari works well. It like having an armory in my computer.
I use to play more like a TAG, and waiting it out, not playing many hands. Now I am super LAG while I have over 30 big blinds, once thats gone I tighten up. I can still use the moves I learned in the boot camp to continue the accumulation. Here's a good example: Over 3500 players in a MTT and after 3 hours and only 453 players left I had 61 big blinds which is more than enough to play some poker and not worry about getting run over. I eventually went out 15th for a nice little score (17X my buy in) I actually thought this could been my next big score, but atleast its showing my growth and patience in the game. Cya
