Turn Left At The Fork In The Road

Well I've done a lot of thinking. At the moment I can survive on what I'm earning at the tables. I can scrape out a living, but there's probably not much upside. Furthermore I'm vulnerable. If Bugsys shuts down or I got banned or whatever, I have no way to make money. With that in mind I'm going to move into limit.

Limit is played in 1000's of sites all over the net. If I master limit it gives me the following. 1. felxibilty. I can play anywhere. 2. a chance to climb the limit ladder and make some decent cash. 3. A chance to multi table, something which isn't as easy playing hu. 4. Bugsys has a nice limit league which pays well if you play a LOT.

So I'm approaching it three ways.

1. Read. I'll read and reread and study "Winning Low Limit Holdem" by Lee Jones. That's my new bible. Then I'll move on to "Holdem For Advanced Players", THE classic text for higher limits.

2. I'll try and get hold of Turbo Holdem Poker. That sim should be useful.

3. Most important is turning myself into a winner via my thought processes. Every night my new mantra is. "I will improve my play and get rich playing poker." No doubt I need to refine that, but in time.

So there it is.. moving into limit, something I thought I'd never do due to it's frustrations and variance.
