Christmas 2009 Poker Study Goals

December 17th, 2009 -- Posted in EthanCainePoker.com News, Poker Books You Should Read | No Comments »

As some of you know Christmas 2009 I currently have 2 weeks off that I can devote almost exclusively too working on my poker game.  I have thus decided to go through a number of poker resources that I have during the holiday season:

Everything Texas Holdem book – Great Fundamentals Book and this will be my 4th time through it.  Never hurts to brush up on the basics.
Zen and the Art Of Poker – Amazing Inner Game Book – I will reread it for a 3rd time
Poker Winners Are Different – Just picked this book up today from Chapters.  Really looking forward to it

Just Picked This Up - Will Post Review SOON

Just Picked This Up - Will Post Review SOON

I have a good momentum going with this whole poker thing so I don’t think I will have ANY issues with finishing these books as well as getting poker in too.

Grinding or Playing Higher Stakes?

December 12th, 2009 -- Posted in EthanCainePoker.com News, Poker Strategy | No Comments »

This month I have been grinding 4 tables at the 5cent/10cent NL at once using Short Stack Strategy which essentially means playing only TOP hands.

I got kind of bored and decided to move up a limit and just play ONE 25cent/50cent table really well.  The result was good.  While I make money consistently with grinding I found it a nice change to play properly with strategy and bluffing on ONE table.

I’m not sure which is going to be the most profitable but I do like the change once in awhile.  I think I will keep experimenting and get back to you guys.
