Under the weather

I haven't had much chance to play poker this last week as I've been feeling a bit under the weather. First, I had a migraine then managed to be laid low with a sore throat and cough. Couple that together with a severe lack of sleep, I've been feeling pretty rotten.

Hopefully, I've got over the worst of it now and I can pick up the volume again. Even when I have played poker this last week I probably haven't played my 'A' game so I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.

Break-even so far this month but still in profit YTD so I can't complain and I'm still on course to meet my goal for the month of 7,500 hands.

Until next time....GL at the Tables!

Roller Coaster

Life is a roller coaster.

Poker life at the start of this month has been a bit of a roller coaster but as Carlo Citrone once said as his Hot Tip on the Sky Poker channel "Poker is a never ending game!". Luckily, I've never been on a major downswing so far but, there and then, I don't put the huge amount of volume in to demonstrate this. Variance is part of poker which I accept now and effects every poker player no matter how good they are.

Another roller coaster ride!

The biggest dip on my giraffe was when I was in the BB with AA and there was an UTG raiser. So, naturally I 3-bet him and got 4-bet so I raised all-in and was called by my opponent who had KK. He hit his King on the flop and the rest were bricks. Pretty standard play really but it just goes to show that you can loose all your buy-in quite easily with just one hand.

I'm happy with the volume I've put in this month so far (almost 2000 hands) and I've managed to get back into profit for the month after a poor start.

Ok folks that's all for now.

Moving Day

So the move went fairly smoothly last weekend, just a few teething problems need sorting out with the landlord. The place is already starting to feel homely :-)

My broadband is back online again now so the disruption to my poker schedule was kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, there's still a fair bit of unpacking to do so it will be a slow start to the month which will have a baring on my poker goals. I'm still determined to increase the volume from last month though!

Poker Goals for February

1. Play at least 7,500 hands of 6-max cash games.
2. Add one more table to my multi-tabling capabilities.
3. Move up to 10NL when my bankroll reaches $250 (currently at $145).

My main focus is on cash games played on PokerStars and that's what the above goals is based on but I'll probably play the odd SNG or MTT on my other poker sites aswell.

Work Hard, Train Hard & Play Hard

I've neglected to go to the gym over the past few weeks with the move and everything so will have to get back on track with that next week although I signed up to do some circuit training through the social club at work starting today and running for one day a week for the next four weeks.

A very busy month is in store!

Until next time....GL at the Tables!
