Alright, guess I'll start it this time.

Was playing and running great for the first week of March. Then I went on my cruise/florida vacation, didn't play for 10 days, got back and really sucked it up for the rest of the month. Played some of the worst poker I've played in the last few months. Even had a tilty 400NL HU session which I luckily only managed to lose $30 from.

Anyways, have taken the last couple days off and am looking to start strong in April again. I only have a couple goals:

1.) Play good poker
2.) Quit playing HU and monkey tilting

i'm down money on the month because i suck at poker.
i'm gonna try to win some money this month and ideally move to .5/1 HU. this will take lots of work, but i'll have time to focus once exams end.

oh wait exams end on april 29th, damn it!

u wanna play HU!

yesh

dogishead (and you <3) has given me motivation and an actual belief that I can overcome my former tilt HU and bluff every street, and actually profit.

It would be awesome if I decide to travel and can bring my laptop for a quick session here and there too to get some moneys for international hookers.

I've just started my $0 to $???? this month.

I've done ok, I'm up to $6.82 on FTP and have about $1 on PS.

CC inspired me to try this and I was also tired of reloading my account and throwing money away.

I have only recently realised the concept of BRM.

This is why I was such a failure before, playing at limits way beyond myself.

My main goal for April is to start playing the CC freerolls and to generally continue improving my game.

GL to everyone.

Best monthly goal yet. I gave up on my march goals a few days in, because was too busy. Played just last week really, 8k hands 9BB/100 10nl. Want to keep similar pace for next month 30k+ hands, decent winnings and nonbronze star.

I jumped up levels and lost a bit this month -- my only consistent winner is Omaha ring. I really think it is the way of (my) future.. I now save HE for tourneys.
So few people know how to play Omaha properly (they think HE with 4 cards) that stacking them is easy.

BTW congrats Brian, cya out there...

Best month in a long time:

NLHE Cash game net: $718

Omaha Cash game net: $97

Bonuses cleared: $535

Platinum Star: check!

I'm happy.


Now my goal for April is to improve on this slightly, and to get more consistent with my aggression as I'm still somewhat prone to slacking off in that department at times and go on auto-pilot.


Will be at where I want to be to move to $100 NL in another week or two at this rate.. I'm being a little conservative with bankroll requirements as I've learned the hard way what it takes for me to not worry about losing a buy in.

Life tilt + Trying to get Gold Star at the end of the month = Solid Finish. With tournaments included though and using my FPPs to get $T I made over $1000 this month so I can't complain. I want to be close to moving up to 100NL by the end of April, that's all.

Not a very good month, but at least I got unstuck in the end.

Started the month at 200nl, but running below EV started shaking my confidence in my game, so dropped to 100nl for most of the month. Played break-evenish robotic poker for some time until I finally got my game back together at the end of the month and moved back up to 200nl. Ran $500 below EV again today to remind me this is sometimes a game a chance.

Also tried some PLO but it seems I suck at that. Dropped a little less than $400 playing that. Need to do some studying there I guess.

So, in the end, it's $560 at NLHE, about -$400 at PLO and about $440 in rakeback, for a grand total of $600 profit for the month.

Goal for April is to play as I did over the last 7k hands consistently over a month at 200nl. A little more volume would be nice too. Been just below 25k hands/month each month this year. 30k would be better.
