During the Skype conference call last week, Croix took a moment to put everything into perspective by saying, and I'm paraphrasing, "We're playing a game on the internet for money. We're lucky to be able to do this, we're just printing money."
Heh, printing money. I would've never been able to appreciate that in the past... until I understood what it's like to indeed print money. That's kind of how it feels one month after signing up for husng.com and taking advantage of all the videos and advice offered. My heads up game is light years ahead of where it was before. It was a pretty rocky start, not going to lie - I was studying my ass off and knew I had the concepts down and was way better than my competition, but I wasn't seeing the results and was tilting because of it. Then I turned a corner and started to take notice of my results and their corelation to the volume I was putting in. It was like all the instructors on here would say - long term, I was a winner.
That confidence in my game mixed in with everything I learned by watching videos made by PrimordialAA, Croixdawg, Skates, xSCWx, and RyPac13 totally changed the way I started my sessions. That is clearly reflected in the past week, seven days and seven winners. 162-115. Posting my first full winning week has also lit a fire under me that will hopefully carry me through many more winning sessions and up through the stakes.
Because I am building my roll (and have other life expenses) and am just about to hop up to the $34.50's, I can't afford to renew my membership for another month just yet. No doubt everything I have learned on this site is going to allow me to continue my winning ways and after a little bit I will sign up again - because husng.com is definitely +EV.
Great site, gang. Not only are the videos invaluable to all HUSNG grinders and aspiring grinders, but the fact that the instructors are active in the forums and really open and friendly makes this community the best HUSNG resource on the net. I know my new game reflects that. So good luck to everyone with "printing money".
Nice post but dude, I think you should just use 2 of BI's to renew. You are basically at the same point as me by the sounds of things (I think we have even run in to each other a couple of times), so it would be cool to do some HH swaps at our same levels and share knowledge of adapting at the higher level etc. Might help :)
I'll be around.
I have a lot (and I mean a lot, this site has so many) videos downloaded that I have to catch up on, by the time I've done that membership price will hopefully be a drop in the bucket to me. For now, two buy-ins is a cell phone bill, you know? GL GL
Well, I also have a lot of videos downloaded, which I still need to watch, but I thought this forum could also be very useful to improve my poker skills, so I decided to extend my membership for another 3 months.
