Okay, You've Won Some Money - What Do You Do Now?
As the weeks passed I did notice a slight improvement in my game, but every time I noticed this it had an
adverse effect on my game, and is still something I'm struggling to come to terms with. At the moment there are peaks and troughs, which I need to 'iron out', but is all part of finding your own particular style. What works for Gaf? doesn't for brael, and what works for brael doesn't for frisky and so on, to an extent. Whenever I watch Pocket Lady and tell her to do what I'd do she loses more often than not.
What I did was to set myself a target. That was to win a freeroll, rather than just placing.
I was picking up a $ here and a few cents there, but I set myself that aim as an exam. If I could manage it, then I'd allow myself to look at other formats.
I managed it on the day after being released from hospital on Poker.com. The freerolls run every 2hrs, so if you do well in 1 you do find they run into each other. Well this particular evening I managed to finish 4th in the 7pm freeroll, winning about $4, which I was pleased about (the performance, not the cash). The only problem was I'd sat out of the 9pm one to concentrate. When I finished I started late on my freeroll and managed to turn it around and won. $25.01. Not the largest amount, but I beat 999 others for that. So I ended up being $30 better off. For nothing.
The feeling I had when I won was amazing. MUCH better than seeing a bet come in, because I had an influence over my own success, which you don't get in Sports betting unless you're a German referee.
