SNGs v. Cash

Kamrann, the same is true of any profession. I feel bad that you find boredom in poker. But, IMO, the best way to approach anything, and particularly poker, is TO GO A MILE DEEP, AND NOT A MILE WIDE. The fact that you have played so many games, styles, etc., you've become a jack of all trades. Good at all, specialist in none.

Just my two cents.

Last March, at the European Poker Tour finals in Monte Carlo, the players ate together every night at a buffet
provided by the organizers at the Cafe de Paris across from
the Casino. I had the pleasure (and privilege) of sitting next to Greg "Fossilman" Raymer each night. Prior to that
time, I had focused almost exclusively on NL sit and gos
and MTTs. I was thinking about playing some limit and no
limit ring games on line and mabey some Omaha Hi-Lo 8 too
when I returned home, but at the same time I thought that
if I want to improve, perhaps I should focus on a single form
of poker, such as NL sit and gos. My goal is not simply to
make a few bucks online, but rather, to become a world class
player.

So I asked Greg for his recommendation. Should I focus on a
single game to reach mastery, or would I be better served by
branching out and learning to play a variety of games? Greg
strongly recommended that I branch out, and play both limit
and NL ring Hold 'em and Omaha and 7 stud. He explained to me how all the games
are related.....they are all poker, don't think of them as
separate games....and how working to improve and to beat one
form helps you to become stronger at the others too. It's
good advice.

Ever notice how the world class players, although they may
be specialists in one form or another, are basically world
class at all the games? There is a reason for that!

Suerte,
Jonathan

microbet as far as cash games go, if you're willing to switch up your raises and make continuation bets, you'll find the NL100 tables juicy.
