I finished last month up about $10.6k assorted. I believe I was up in cash games, break even in SNG/tournies and down in NHL bets. Heres a graph of my December:
I ran sick hot, theres no disputing that. But I hope I'm taking my game to a higher level as oppose to just being senselessly aggressive.
Besides sniderstyle and foolsplay who are regulars that I play with fairly often from LP, I don't think anyone else reads my blog here. So I don't mind too much discussing the details of my game.
I find that in general, my play last month was too fearlessly aggressive and was mostly bailed out by a lot of my draws hitting. Loads of my plays didn't make much sense.
To counteract this, I'm planning on simpling up my play. Going to tighten up preflop and hopefully, command more respect post flop to decrease my variance a bit.
In regards to goals for this year, my original plan was to play less poker. Last year, I probably spent over 1000 hours of actually playing. While I can't complain about the amount I've won and the strides I've taken in the latter part of the year, I felt this was hindering other aspects of my life in that I hardly studied/went out/exercised. Around November, I was feeling like shit despite having more money than I had expected at this stage in my life, and that was when I made the decision to try and cut down on poker and workout more.
Fast forward to late December, I saw that sick graph post and it inspired me to want to win more. Or the greed inspired me, w/e. Now I'm split. I've already paid for the years membership and I think that part of my plan will stay in tact. But somethings going to have to give so I have time to keep playing this much. Not sure on whats going to happen yet, but, gonna have to work that out.
Um, dunno what else to say. btw, saw Sweeney Todd last week, was actually pretty good despite it being a quasi-musical. The story line was pretty good and there were loads of blood and stuff, so that was fun.
A reward for reading to the end of my random thoughts, I'm going to recycle one of my favourite pictures of 2007:
Gonna play out the month doing 100/200 I guess. I don't feel like I have an edge at all at 400 and I'm just absolutely getting killed by the regs. Theres just not enough fish to pay me to pay the regs
Made one tilt shove tonight, so realistically I could've lost like, a lot less. Also made a silly call + 2 small river suckouts, but all in all, it was just a ton of medium sized pots lost
