Three Things to Jump Start Your Poker Summer
The trees have already shaken all their flowers and given way to the green leaves. The sun began to burn harder and harder. Now it is time to start thinking about summer and what it has to offer.
How do you make it better than the previous one? One of the best ways to do it is to have a concentrated plan of attack.
Of course, you can also take some private time to relax, but don’t forget that a real poker pro can turn a hot summer into a real money-making machine if he pays attention to a few aspects:
1. DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES, DIFFERENT PLANS
Even if the summer weather can be really tempting, you must set some time aside in your life to jump online to play. Setting a plan to play X hours a week is a start, but don’t be afraid to adjust that total. During the hottest day, you can play even more and enjoy the good weather outside without over sweating. The most profitable way of over sweating is at the poker tables.
One more thing, if you feel the need to jump in the pool take care to jump in the right “player pool”. During summer regs can swim with the fishes. Do you still ask yourself why? Well, because for recreational poker players, summer is the time when they are open to putting some money into play.
We all understand that once in a while even the best poker sharks need some time for relaxation. Summer is the best time for trips, for spending quality family time, and why not for making new friends (related or not to the poker field). Perhaps you’ve set the number of hours per week you want to play a bit too high, or you’ve set the goal too steep for what you want to make at an hourly rate per month. The smart thing to do is to be able to adjust that goal rather than keep banging your head against a wall.
Feel free to adjust a little bit your poker routine to your “summer needs”. This will surely help you clear your mind and take better decisions at the tables.
Are you prepared for a refreshing swim with the fishes?
2. BE REALISTIC WITH YOUR GOALS
It is always nice to dream about what you want to do in poker and we all know that after a short summer vacation all poker players are starting their poker routine with a lot of enthusiasm. This is a really good thing, but at the same time, you must be realistic with your goals.
When summer starts, set those goals so that they will make you work, but that they aren’t impossible to achieve. If you want to play more poker, set an hourly limit you want to meet each month. If you’ve got plans to use poker for a second income, set a monthly rate that you’d like to make. Try to focus on consistency and don’t let yourself be carried away by the wave.
Stay focused and get ready to overcome your limits!
3. DON’T BE AFRAID TO ADJUST
We all understand that once in a while even the best poker sharks need some time for relaxation. Summer is the best time for trips, for spending quality family time, and why not for making new friends (related or not to the poker field).
Perhaps you’ve set the number of hours per week you want to play a bit too high, or you’ve set the goal too steep for what you want to make at an hourly rate per month. The smart thing to do is to be able to adjust that goal rather than keep banging your head against a wall.
