Losing Steam
Well had Dr Razz go over a heads up sit and go the other day and critique the hands which has been useful to me. He highlighted my bad plays and gave me something to think about and try to incorporate in my game. My next step is to self critique a heads up game. Going back over the hand history of a game is a good exercise for me as it lets me really see bad plays I make and how often I make them.
I've been doing fairly well in the cash ring games which is a big improvement for me.
I've also started playing the $50 heads up sit and gos but have not been very successful at it. I think the issue here is that against two decent razz players a heads up match essentially becomes a coin flip. Generally the games I've been playing me and my opponents have been roughly equal and then the blinds get to the point where one hand will decide the match.
I am quite happy with my progress with my nl holdem game. The other night I came in 2nd in the Poker After Dark free roll. Was disappointing since only 1st place advanced but I was very happy with how I played.
I've been playing the $5 sit and gos and am starting to place fairly consistently. It's not really profitable yet but I'm much better than when I started.
