February 2014


27k hands, 110 hours. 245 hands/hr (too high!)

Won 500 on Boyle, 1400 on Laddys and 0 on SKY.

This month I have been trying to add in HU PLO to my sessions. It's been difficult as I'm inexperienced in PLO and it can be especially confusing whilst trying to play both NL and PLO at the same time. So far I am down 6bi (£800) at PLO, with my redline going steadily down.

Looking at this now I'm in two minds about continuing to play PLO. There is definatly a lot more action and it would be good even just for variety to be able to play and win there. So far I've kind of taken the approach of feeling my way into the game more by playing than studying. I have watched quite a few PLO HU videos but inevitably find myself not concentrating fully and tbh I've not taken much of it in.

My NL game could probably use some serious work also if I am going to have any long reg matches vs anyone decent. It seems strategies are becoming more and more mathematic, so I will need to look into using other tool away from the table to go over my and some opponents ranges.

This month I was in Hamburg for my friend Barry's stag weekend, which was great. I also went to see a new band that I like for the first time, The Fat White Family, in Broadcast Glasgow. It was one of the best gigs I've been too, amazing energy from the band and a great audience.

This last week I have found it a little difficult to full focus as I had an injured toe from football. I couldn't sleep with the pain on Monday night so took Tuesday off, it was still affecting me till today, after I finally went to the doctor yesterday and got it drained.

Next month Claudia and I, along with another couple (Danny & Jodie) are going to Paris for a long weekend. Should be fun.

Wedding planning is coming along and we have found the venue, Errol Park House. It's great.

Goals for next month is to keep good routine that I had for most of this month (cycling during lunch break), improve my overall understanding of HU PLO, maybe play a bit of that but mainly focus on playing good NL HU.

JANUARY = £7,300
FEBUARY = £2,250
