The above is what Mary's WLM tag line reads. And thankfully it's still true. Having completed the last 10 games in profit she's generously given me 50% rather than the agreed 40% and is now using our equal shares in a new and longer 15 game stint with me now on 40%.
I got back into playing again recently and played well enough to turn £190 into £250 on BetFair's 25c/50c tables in a little over 3 hours of play. Variance popped it's ugly head up again though and with my AA losing to KTs on a KJrag board where he was happy to get his $90 in, he hit his T on the turn to wipe out a lot of my good work. That, with a poor and probably tilted call with ATs on a T high board into a pre-flop re-raiser with QQ, was enough to again leave me questioning my poker temperament and attitude I bring to the table.
So yesterday I hit the $10 SnGs and played a more patient game - something I've learnt from watchin Mary over the past week or so and something that was made a lot easier by having 3 tables open at once. I'm still generally nowhere near as tight as I probably need to be to achieve the results Mary has but in all honesty, I don't think I could / will ever be. When short stacked I very often think Mary is too tight in the closing levels but I would never suggest she change her ways - she's won far more than I have and I consider her to be a better NLHE player partly due to her superior patience. I try to play as all the training sites / books / pros tell you to - with an M of less than 5, push with any two rag and hopefully 'live' cards and hope for a 60/40 race. It's thanks to this tactic that I was able to bluff my way to two wins from my 4 SnGs last night but also why I bombed out just before the money in the other two. Some you win ... thankfully.
