Going pro..... for 3 months

Okies – so day 1 of trying to make money…

Well I managed to get a couple of jobs at the Western Card Club (London) – dealing on the Friday and Saturday and also 3 days a week signing people up to the Gutshot online poker client at the Western Card Club – I know it seems strange. I also played a 2 hour session on FT.

This had been the first session in a bit so I knew I may be a little rusty – and I ended up $46 down – which is pretty standard variance I guess. I lost a $40 pot to a 3 outer – but hey, I’m not gonna cry about it, he had nothing but air when he pushed and I made a good call. Then there followed this hand:

There’s a very good case for folding pre – I insta-called coz I was a bit pissed about the rivering about 30 seconds earlier. And I the guy may have thought I could be raising light due to tilt – or that I’d call with shit coz I was tilting… perhaps the better choice… however his stats were 36/4 - 97

This one came an hour later:

Okies – I know I played this hand kinda shit – I didn’t have stats on the guy and so I wanted to keep the pot small. I put him on either TPGK (possibly TPTK) or JT for two pair on the flop. On the turn I thought that two-pair (thus a house) looked more likely and that’s why I folded the river… When I asked what he had he said T3 – which made me laugh but I started to believe him later on when PAHud got his stats up at 74/7. Perhaps I should have called – or maybe he had a set/top two turned house. Also – me thinks I only have to be correct 2 in 7 times to make this a +ev call… so I think I already know what’ll be said – “fold on the turn or push it all-in” possibly…

So anyways – hopefully I’ll have time to play some poker with my 5 days a week of work – because Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I’ll be finishing at midnight/2am I think It’ll be quite a good time to bash out a couple of hours at the end of my shift.

But the main aim is to take my $2350 and turn it into $6k by the end of the summer break – I think this is not too high a target and I would really like to be looking at $8k but we’ll see.
