More Comments For July

I wanted to expand more on June, in hopes that it will make me have a more successful July. In June I did alot of things wrong… I did not set stoplosses and I was multitabling different people at high stakes, where at each match I feel my edge was between .-5 – 4 ptbb IF I am playing my “A” game.. However I was not adjusting to each person as I would have to, in order to get the best results. Because of this my June results while still finishing in the green, were not nearly what they could have been.

My June 25/50+ results alone I had a 50k downswing.

 

I have since recovered most of it. I could blame it on luck (yes over 15k+ down in luck, but even then I should not have to be “lucky” to win)

That’s in the past and believe it or not I feel I have learned from it. Here’s what I’m going to do more in July.

 

1) In the back of my mind I do have a cash # goal in my mind, but I feel this is a bad way to go about things. if I hit it I’ll probably post it as a congratulations to myself.

2) Play 40,000 hands of 5/10+

3) Last few months I’ve basically had alot of people refuse me action at 5/10 now, I realize I should probably do the same to people who are at the very least slightly talented at poker.. There are alot of 2p2r’s I’ve been playing with lately, and while 90% of them do sit out vs me, the other 10% who may or may not be better then me (probably are) aren’t worth playing.. Play for cash not ego. At my regular game though I guess I just need to crash more shorthanded games because , alot of regulars won’t even bother playing 3-handed with me and just sit out. So I’ll make it my kingdom and hopefully post a 5ptbb+ winrate over 15,000+ hands there.. Will see? (Would be funny if I ate these words, hopefully I won’t make some emo post 3weeks down the road about how I get owned all day)

4) Eat more fresh food / read more / exercise more . I feel these are important because I don’t put in that many table hours, but those that do I want to get the most out of. Eating healthy with all the sun lately in Victoria will hopefully help me have more energy, I have been feeling lethargic lately. Also I know exercise will help me with this. And reading just cause why not?

5) Start keeping this blog more for myself, not so I don’t lost $50 for not posting. I’m going to keep it as my outlet for bitching / for interesting hands in the future / and life in general. Also since I suck so much with computers, If my month turns out as good as I think it will (in my mind) I’m going to learn to post a graph as a self-brag… Three days in I’ve played less then 1000 hands, but that’s ok because we’ve had company and Hannah has been feeling ill. Now though, it’s time to make some money this month.
