iggymcfly 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well, I'm grinding PLO50 and PLO100 right now trying to make 2500 VPPs to clear my $1500 VIP bonus. If I have to, I've got a couple thousand I can redeposit. I'm not going to sell my seat to the HU tourney, but I've already sold 20% of my action and if people want to buy some more, I'd be happy to sell a decent amount. Link to post Share on other sites

Alex916F 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Dec sucked!!! down 2k ish....Jan. Its a new year and i am basically overhauling my poker.I've already loaded '07s hands into PT that i got up and running. I have analyzed it and am shocked that i only played 110k in cash game hands. Some of my stats were pretty gross, in full ring i had vpip of 20% with 10% raise preflop- way too spewy. My bb/100 is solid though, every stake below 100NL i have 12+bb/100 and at 100NL i am at 8bb/100, 200NL i am running 3bb/100 but only have 8k hands in it. probably have about 50k in tourny hands too though. My new regiment is to have 1-2 hour sessions of 5+ tabling 100NL full ring and then spending a decent amount of time analyzing my play afterwards. I have already noticed some places where I like how i played but def. see places to increase value in my hands. Gonna get PAHUD when their new version comes out which is supposed to be soon. I want to consistently be 6 tabling and working my way up to 8+ tabling. Subscribed to PokerXFactor and renewed my sub. with CardRunners. I am going to take their new series of full ring videos very seriously and follow their preflop charts and apply the principles that they outline in the videos. I think i want to be a 13/10 player instead of the 20/10 i was up until i realized that is what i was doing. I also want to take the 6-max series they have and really delve into that arena. I will probably stay at 100 for awhile... but i would like to return to 200NL. I know i am profitable in tournies but sometimes i just feel i need to lay off of them.... I got PXF specifically for the tournies but i just dont know, i am at home in a cash game...Saving up my fpp's to get a PS3 so i can have bluray and rockband haha i'm about 25% there. Gonna get another monitor too, hopefully a tourny score will take care of that, i am thinking 24" from what it seems like on the forums. I would love the 30" though too, if i were to get that one i would get the apple 30" refurbished for 1.5k supposed to have the best res out of any monitor that size. that would be ballin. dont care too much about the profit this month just that i felt i learned more about my own game and ways to improve. peace to everyone and happy pokering Link to post Share on other sites

antistuff 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hurtling toward busto with incredible speed. I am running $5,000 below expectation at PLO this month, but I didn't move down to 0.5/1 when I was supposed to, and I even had a really soft 2/4 table open last night where I lost $2,000. Anyway, here's an incredibly depressing picture:don't do it. Link to post Share on other sites

You could easily be up 100BB instead of down 40. Link to post Share on other sites
