Lately I've been thinking that my wins were flukes. From September 16 to September 26, I've lost approximately P50k (less than USD1000) in the 25/50 or 50/100 table. It sucks to say the least and I feel I've lost my confidence.
I feel I still know what to play, what to fold, how to play certain cards and how to play certain players. I just can't seem to convert it to money. I know what to do. And I actually follow my rules. I still do not drink while playing. I know the odds and my decisions are based on them. But I seldom get big cards. I seldom hit my big cards. I never get a good draw. I never hit my draws when they come. It's basically a slump.
So I've decided to not play until there's a real big tournament. Where I know I will do well. I've always been a smart player. I play by the book. I'm not saying I don't listen to my gut by I don't rely on my gut.

I'm still hot...
Last Monday, I went to the Metro to try my luck at the ring games. As mentioned before, ring games are really not my specialty. Most that I've won in a ring game was P11k. Now that all changed on this particular visit. I bought in for P1.5k in a 10/20 table and lost most of it after a few minutes. The 25/50 table was about to open so I transferred. I added P2k which makes my total investment P3.5k.
The 25/50 table was great. The action was just right. Although I re-bought for P3k, I was able to make the most out of it. My bluffs were not contested and my nuts always won me big pots. I can't give a hand by hand account as that was 5 days ago. Sorry. On that table, I ended having a huge stack of around P12k. Not bad but the other 25/50 table had more money and had more action so I transferred.
I ran a lot of players to the felt. If it was a tournament, I would have been first place without contest. I ended the night by cashing out P33,175. The biggest cash-out I've had on a ring game thus far.
This almost makes me an all around player. I just need to continue my performance.
Today the Metro; tomorrow the world!!!
