New blog

I decided to shift my blog over to LeggoPoker. It can now be found here. Update your links people.

Typing troubles

I'm going to preface this by explaining that I just bought a new keyboard. Unfortunately my rather unique, free-style typing technique doesn't work with it. So I'm having to teach myself how to type correctly. This means that I'm typing slower than you could ever imagine. It's extremely frustrating but I'm determined to learn as I think it'll be beneficial long term. So I was planning on writing a pretty long blog post, but I'm just going to keep going until I can't take anymore!

I went out yesterday drinking with a couple of friends. We played 5-a-side football first with Beckett's work. It was probably the best match we've had when I've been there. I think I played pretty well, although my shooting was pretty atrocious. We went to the pub for around 2.30 for some hardcore drinking! At around 7-8 ish we went back to mine for a bit to play some Pro Evo on the PS3 and sone Wii. I felt like total shit for a lot of it, so some of my performances were definitely under par.

Poker's been going fairly badly this month. I'm probably going to play mostly 3/6 for the rest of the month and focus on playing "good, solid poker". I think I've definitely started getting a bit too tricky recently, and also too cally, as well as out-levelling myself in too many spots.

That'll do for now as my fingers are tired, and this has already taken ages to write!

Playing 2/4

So August has sucked so far. Poor play and poor spots mean I'm getting frustrated. So I've decided to drop down and grind out 2/4 for a while to get back into the rhythm of things. I decided to see how many tables I can comfortably play because if I can play 8 or more I'll be able to grind out a ton of money each month there if I feel like it. I worked out that 5 hours a day, 6 days a week, 8 tabling at 4BB/100 should get you somewhere around $28k per month. For some reason I'm able to play longer hours when playing more tables, so I'm sure I could play more hours than that in a month.

Anyway, I played a three hour session just now. It started off very frustrating; I lost AA v 65cc in a 3-bet pot on a T73cc board for 200BBs, and I lost KK v AA all in pre for 200BBs. I clawed it back though and ended up running at 4.8BB/100 over 2.5k hands. Here's my graph:


So I think I'm gonna just grind out 2/4 until I feel like I'm playing great again. Then I'll go back to 5/10 and hopefully kick some ass.

EDIT: F**k 2/4, just f**k it.

Welcome to August

Boom!

I thought I'd won this!



I hope this isn't a sign of things to come! I made around $32k last month, although I am now breakeven over my last 108k hands of 5/10 6-max.
