The Dean is now taking enquiries from all interested parties regarding my new Poker Pro System “The Vulture” and also my forthcoming six max system “The Jackal”, anyone who is interested in these should contact me at Carl@Pokerquest.f9.co.uk to register their interest. The Dean can also be contacted at this address for all other poker, gambling and coaching related matters.
These days I am hardly ever seeing any action in the 25-50 game and it doesnt matter where I play, its the same. I have options of getting money into poker sites and luckily enough contacts to be able to help me do it.
But the value is getting so thin at this level that I wonder why I still play it. I seem to be looking for players that dont exist half the time. But 25-50 is a serious almost world class level and this is an indication that I am probably playing too high. This is like the highest level beneath the nosebleed stakes and when you consider that Brian Townsend regularly plays this level then you can see what I mean.
I think that I am going to focus my attention on these systems and playing heads up at NL400 upto about NL1000 in future. I can still use my Poker Office 5 software to help me game select and I will also be using another piece of software soon called Poker Crusher so I can cross reference certain data before I play.
Hopefully this will mean that I should be playing more poker but to be honest I think that the vast majority of my play will be with The Vulture and the other systems anyway. When you consider that I am contemplating taking the Vulture into NL100 this summer or autumn then there is still tons of work ahead.
I have already informed my partner that our deal will have to be absolved, I dont need backing to play heads up games at the levels that I am and as of now, I wont be playing any 25-50 games any more. It just doesnt seem worth it to me to be risking a huge downswing for the profit that I stand to make in a year. I am only 53k (dollars) ahead this year and that is barely ten buy-ins.
I think that 30 buy-in downswings are very real now at this level and I dont want to lose $150k as that could well turn into 250k with my temperament lately. If you double the 53k then I am effectively only making 100k a year. That is less than many pro’s make at NL200 through NL600 and their downswing potential is only a fraction of mine.
It just isnt worth it, I may as well play lower and encounter more fish. The problem is that the 25-50 level is not the same as it used to be a few years ago where you could guarantee big sports bettors coming in who didnt have a clue…….not anymore.
I just dont have the time anymore to dedicate to this level, too much writing and promotional work and I need to treat these players at this level with more respect than that. So I will be altering how I play from now on and the 25-50 level is now history which is just about right. But I am using the profit that I made from this to bankroll me playing heads up.
So a different second half of 2009 is coming for me, take care and see you soon.
