The Target
It’s every poker players dream to travel the world and battle it out in the highest stakes. This isn’t my immediate goal, but it’s the overarching plan. Live tournaments are where I’m aiming for, but grinding online cash is very much the proving ground, and beating the stakes puts you in a good place to succeed.
The Stakes
At the moment, I’ve gone back to my roots to grind from 10nl on Stars. The first targets are getting to 25, beating 50 and finally beating 100nl on Stars, along with mixing up softer sites and games. The main bankroll tracking and results will be 6-Max Zoom on Stars. I do also play some 1/1 live cash, and HUSnGs online.
Mental Game
As I said in the intro, the mental game is my weakness, and the thing I need to work hardest on, so a good chunk of my ramblings here will be about that – I’ll get into meditation and other techniques that I think are really beneficial. It might not float everyone’s boat, but I’m sure there are other things that you might find helpful to talk about along the way. For me, and I think for all poker players, if you’re not in the right frame of mind, success is going to be pretty hard to come by. I know if I don’t meditate daily, I’m going to really struggle.
The Stream
I do occasionally stream, and hope to accompany this blog with some streams. It’ll be over on twitch: twitch.tv/lorenzoflamingo, and mostly be more talking about cash game hands as I play.
