It’s another miserable day in London, the rain is lashing down, it’s kinda depressing. I haven’t played poker for over a month. I have recently moved to London as a stopgap, before I immigrate to the Caribbean. As a result of this I haven’t had the time to play poker, when I play poker I like to be relaxed and my mind needs to be clear, unfortunately that hasn’t been the case since I got to London. But now is the time to get back on track with the my poker, Texas Hold em to be precise, with an occasional game of Omaha, when the mood takes me. I feel I have finally got used to the mad and hectic world, which is London, my mind has acclimatized to this crazy city.
I have decided to stick to playing Tournaments with a top prize of over £2,000, with a goal of obviously winning one in the near future. My best result so far was winning a 90-person tournament where I won around $450, but that was in the distant past. I feel I now have reached the stage where I need to aim for bigger prize money to motivate me and to make it worthwhile.
My goal is a simple one I want to make a cool million dollars from playing online poker; I know it can be done, because there are countless young kids out there have already done it. Am I aiming too high, is my dream too much of a fantasy, is my poker playing skills at a level where I can compete with these young kids? Time will tell!
Before I begin playing poker I like to have my environment nice and tidy, this helps to unclutter my mind; I then prepare myself mentally for the battle that lies ahead. I have a nice relaxing bath, I get focussed, I remind myself to play tight and aggressive from the start, not to let myself get suckered into doing something I shouldn’t, such as trying to bluff with nothing, at the wrong time, and going all in and hoping I don’t get called, sometimes you don’t, but more often than not, you do!
I also like to have some supplies with me, to help keep me focussed, like any good poker player I stay away from alcohol; my snacks of choice are a large bag of Jelly Babies and 3 cans of Nutrament Energy & Protein Drink. It is a huge mistake to move away from the poker game, until its break time. I have done it in the past and learned from the mistake, it can mean the difference between winning some prize money and getting nothing.
I’m ready, focussed and prepared to start back on the online poker dream and I’m aiming high, a Million Dollars is in my mind.
I will be doing a follow up article later today, where I will be sharing the secrets of my poker success in the tournaments which I play in today on Tues 3rd of June.
