Time to own!

OK OK enough BS its time to buckle down and simply own. I know I said I didn't like goals but its time to start setting them again. I will play no less then 30k hands this month. I intend to book a 5k month as well.

My plan to execute my goal is simple:

~3-4 sessions a day M-F 75-90min 4 tabling
~Intensive note taking during play in order to develop reads on regs
~Emphasize correct decisions over anything else (no results checking)
~1 hour of study 3 times a week minimum


So far this year has been mediocre in comparison to how 08 started. It is my fault and I know it. As long as I continue to be a clown my game will suffer. The cold hard truth is I have mouths to feed and fucking off wont cut it anymore.

Strange observation and some resolve.

Just wanted to quickly hit up the blog for my faithful readers,anyone out there? Anyways things are good in all aspects of life.

1st things 1st I realized that poker had gone substantially better when I am attending college then when I am not. Discussed it a bit with Martin and we both have some ideas as to why its the case. I might be hinting at something.

2ndly I realized that instead of watching my roll closely and feeling a sort of urgency to be back at 200NL I want to just play 100NL through April most likely and then see where I stand in regards to 200NL. The truth is i can live off 100NL and though 200NL will be a nicer living I need to be ready in all regards to moving up before I do.

That is all, goodbye.

Yes sir!

What is yall just wanted to blog real quick and catch everyone up. Poker was wack in Feb and I ended around breakeven after RB and bonus. I have found a new coach and was quite pleased with our 1st lesson and hope to continue with him till I am regularly crushing 1/2 or 2/4. The real thing he hammered home was just thinking. I mean fuck its like at some point along the way I forgot that the reason I love poker is the fact that every hand I play is an opportunity to out think my opponent and force him to make a mistake. Truth is thats where the money/edge comes from right. Another thing I opted to do over the weekend was to downsize my HUD to the old school PFR/VPIP/AF which has forced me to focus more on game flow and do less spewy shit based on 3bet/4bet stats. I have the pop-up if needed. I am still making some fundamental mistakes but in due time I hope to plug them.

Exercise wise things are going well. Been eating right most the time and havent missed a beat as far as gym and cardio go. Was 217lbs this morning. Probably post a pic at the end of the month to compare with the earlier one. Hope everyone is enjoying life I know i am.

Dodgy advice

DODGYKEN advice that is. "If you spew a BI it will take you 1k+ hands to regain it based on your win rate." Moral of the story if you spew you aint going to be going anywhere fast in poker.

I have made a spewy bluff yesterday that was not well thought out and just complete spew. basically I must always be thinking while playing and any distractions will have a negative impact on my win rate long term.

Solution, when playing I will have no other programs open.
