Stepping Up To $0.25/$0.50
Cash Games
My Cake Poker bankroll is finally getting to the point where I feel comfortable stepping up my cash game to the next level. Yesterday was my first forray into this new territory. I played tight and did fairly well making about $10 and logging some good rakeback.
Today however was a different story. First 10 minutes were great, up $10 and feeling good. Then I ran into a few slipups and I ended up hovering around a $10-20 loss for the next 3 hours. By this time I was getting tired and thinking about quiting, A big hand came on my lone winning table and I was hopeful to recoup my losses before shutting it down. Well as things tend to go at times, my opponent hit his cards on the river and just like that I was busted out on the table. The next 10 minutes continued to be ugly and I ended up down $75… a new record.
I think I need a day of reflection before dipping my toe into these waters as that undercurrent can be deadly.
