lessons learned

after watching my first video from Ben I realize that I play too many stupid hands....I think the reason I do it is I think I can run over people most of the time by raising and continuation bets.....It works a little but shouldn't be my strategy. Play it tight then become aggressive. I am concentrating on two table sit n goes. My goals have changed. first goal is to just play better. My ROI needs to be 15 to 25% which shouldn't be difficult....
Second goal is to then multi table. Third goal is to move up from the 3.40 tables to the 6 dollar tables. Eventually probably in a full years time, my goal is to profit a dollar a game and try to be playing between 600 to 1000 games a month. It will be easier to accomplish since my business is ice machines and we are starting into the slow season for the next 8 months. It will also be tricky having a newborn.....I am 44 and this is my first baby....Rhonda has been through it before so she will be my Sherpa. Life is good.

a ladder to climb

Hi. My name is Tracy Sanders. I am a 44 year old married man with a baby on the way. I have lived in Austin, TX since 1991 and my primary source of income is in the ice machine business. I married back in January to  a wonderful woman who I have known since I was 11 years old. We were best friends in Jr. High then my family moved away from Houston to the big metropolis of Blanco, TX and we lost touch. She found me on Facebook about two years ago, we met to have lunch and that was that. I knew we were going to get married and we were seven months later. Back in April I slipped one past the goalie and now we are expecting a son in late December. As I said earlier I work for an ice machine company and on Saturdays I work at the Barton Creek Farmers Market selling my families salsa's, candied jalapenos, chip dips and tortillas and chips. In the middle of that I play online poker. I love playing it but know I need help. I joined Grinderschool.com and am now about to be coached by Reasons14. I would love to make enough playing part time that it would make a difference in my families life. I am taking this very serious and cannot wait to start my lessons. I plan on using this blog as a diary to keep up with my progress. It's going to be like climbing a ladder and I know I am at the bottom rungs but I also know I will take this one step at a time and hopefully I will reach my goals. My goal is to make a profit of $1000.00 a month. Do I have what it takes? We are going to find out.....
