February 2011

Shite end to month, had a week off mid month then came back and ran terrible in terms of EV but kept playing really good. No routine and running shit then led to me playing terrible and on semi-tilt every time I played. Such a dissapointment but gotta get on with it.

January 2011

Good month. I played less tables and really focused on ranges and finding good spots to pick up pots. Focused more when watching videos and took a lot more in. Played when I felt like it and didn't force it too much when I didn't. 3 betting a lot more (10.4% for the month). Played 12 days straight at one point, although a couple of those days were just a few 100 hands.

Played some higher stakes and ran OK and won a few buy ins there. Goal for next month is more of the same but slightly more volume. Also only go out 2 or 3 times in the month and not drink a drop of alcohol until 13th.

Played like 20 tourneys and won a $5r when playing drunk at the start of the month for $1k, won some $50 husngs and didn't cash in some bigger MTTs and ended +£800 for the month from tourneys.

Some mildly interesting hands:
one of my fave hands i've ever played: 3b river bluff at £2/4 http://www.pokerhand.org/?5919722
just wtf is he doing on turn... and river http://www.pokerhand.org/?5924983
retarded river bluff and huge spew by a reg http://www.pokerhand.org/?5916803
binking gutshot and having to call a river donk at $1k http://www.pokerhand.org/?5945978
terrible call vs a passive fish http://www.pokerhand.org/?5945986

anyway... 74hours played at cash, that's 590 hands/hr

for if/when i want to make such a post

December 2010

Had a terrible start to the month, moved my PC to my brother's and grinded a lot. I guess starting so terribly I was happy enough to finish £2k down at the tables, put lots of hands in so rakeback was good and I was the rake race. This despite it being december and me stopping playing on 22nd.

Annoying month. Had best day of £2.9k then donked most of that back the next 3 days after.

Need to start playing better and folding when I'm obv beat. More volume from now till 24th December then I'll probably have a break till new year.

Fuck knows what has happened with the rake race.

Better volume this month, need to keep it up the next 2 months, really helps having more time to grind when gf is at Uni through the week.

Big swing in the middle was at $10/20hu vs a whale (not the whale I was waiting on!).
