Single A Ball

Feb 9, 2011 Gambling Consultant

So, this is what it must feel like to play in “single A” ball. Began 2011 with high hopes, had started getting coaching from Zerosum and was ready to crush the $6.50’s at PStars. It would only be a short time until I was playing the $16.00’s. Oops! Ran into a horrible stretch of games and got crushed. Felt like I was playing better then I ever had, yet was losing. After a review of the games with Zerosum, he did confirm, I was playing really well, just getting s**t on. (Made me feel better, but not my bankroll.) Time to drop down to the $3.40’s and regain some money and confidence.

Playing at the $3.40’s has to be the equivalent of a minor league baseball player playing in the single A league. Where they have 8-10 hour bus rides to games, I can spend 5 hours crushing the game with a 30% roi, and finish with a staggering sum of money for my efforts; $30.00. (Let’s not forget the bad days when I drop $20.00. Even at this level, winning isn’t a given.)

There are a surprisingly large number of players who play ABC poker at this level. Luckily, the bad players are really bad. It’s not unusual to shove with AA early in the game and get called by someone with J10o. Also, while there are good players at this level, probably doing what I’m doing, I seem to be ahead of many of them in our poker development. This is a good combination for me, I’m up for the month and seem to be on the road to rebuilding my bankroll and getting back to “Double A” ball; the $6.50’s.
