Sea World

After a week of trying to integrate the ‘super tight is right’ philosophy I got from reading Phil Hellmuth’s book, things look kinda bright. I no longer get exited when I have a king or an ace with a shity kicker, and folding those types of hands became easier.

As I log more hours on the felt, the same basic principles of the game reaffirms itself into my brain. Patience and discipline, those are the two key factors that will help any player get by the night. As you might have notice, we are getting a lot of guest to our state of mind, and these guys aren’t poker players, they’re gamblers. If you don’t have enough patience to play these kinds of fishes, you’re in big trouble buddy.

It has been preached that playing with the fish is a very profitable venture for you and your bankroll. Very true, but it has its buts. Let’s say you’re the lone shark surrounded with smiling dolphins, do you actually believe that you have a fighting chance against those smiling mo’fos? It’s always better when the sharks outnumber the dolphins, reel them in, then you all go for the attack. In this way, you’ll all be getting some action but not from one another, get the picture?

Initially, I was pissed by these kinds of players, but I soon realized, bring it on. We’ll be here waiting for our tummies to be filled and appetites satisfied.


the grouch is munching away.... yummmmmmmmmmmm

bro, i really recommend the big tables if you wanna play THE BEST poker in town. Youre gonna buy-in 2, maybe 3 or 4 times in the 10/20 only to lose it to some schmuck who thinks there's another card coming after the river. invest it in the big table, and you can win in 2 or 3 pots what you would normally win in 2 or 3 HOURS playing the small table.
