Heres the deal. Gonna play 100NL, and move up once I make 50 buyins at the current level. That allows me a lot of room bankroll wise which will help alleviate some of the stress. I will be focusing 75% on HU poker, 25% mtts. Every time I reach an increment of $10k I will be cashing out 10% of my roll at each level(1k at 10k, 2k at 20k, etc etc). I will only be playing HU poker on my money(as well as any other cash games I play, which I wont pass up if they are good, but I will not be focusing on my 6m or 9m game really as I feel my HU game is my strongest game). This leaves me with mtts.

I am currently seeking out a stake(s) for mtts. I will only play 55$+ freezeouts and any rebuys (i.e satellites for larger mtts). I have a few people interested, but am still looking at all options. My site usernames are readmyline for full tilt, and sooon2b for pokerstars. You may wonder why I am looking for a stake. The reason is that I really believe my tournament game is incredibly strong, but due to my real life expenses, I can not afford to play MSNL and mid-high stakes mtts. The bankroll fluctuations also become way too stressful. I have done very well for my past backers (netting them nearly 90k). If you are interested, shoot me a PM and ill get back to you. I have not made specific arrangements with any of the backers interested yet because they are both in different countries, so if you are interested and want to claim dibs on certain tournament schedule, get back to me asap.

Ok, back to HU now. So like I said, i believe my strongest game is headsup. I really think it would be wise to focus on my headsup game as it will certainly help my skills in all other forms of NLHE. I also believe the games are much much juicier as there arent too many HU specialists ive encountered that have made me believe I didnt have an edge. This doesnt mean I dont quit people thought. If I lose more than 2 buyins to a player that I feel I dont have a huge edge on, I will certainly quit them. Ill also quit if I become tilted. You may wonder why I am starting at 100NL. Well, I have cashed out most of my roll due to tuition, fraternity dues, etc etc. I had an unsuccessful shot at 25/50 HU. And lastly, I have never really had great bankroll management, and have played scared money in bigger games. I am starting this low to discipline myself, and to work my way up as my game improves. I have a separate screen name for HU poker that I will not be revealing. If you do figure out who I am, please keep your thoughts on my game to yourself and ill do the same. If anyone is interested in discussing hands and what not, hit me up.

As far as my life outside of poker, its been pretty meh. I have pretty much given up on dating girls and have decided to be a playa plaaaayaaa. I think im gonna change my major to business management. The fraternity life is pretty sick so far. Ive moved into the house now which is nice(and also the reason I am not gonna date right now

). Other than that, my life is pretty boring, holidays sucked, etc etc.

Ok, heres the goals/resolutions for the year.

Make at least 250k (mtts+cash+rb/bonuses)
Play 500k Hands of cash this year
Invest the way I planned earlier in this entry
Buy a new vehicle(probably toyota highlander hybrid limited, but still havent decided)
Work out at least 3 days a week
Eat healthier
Go to the world series this year as well as a few other live events
Do well in school this semester

if i forgot anything ill add it later.
cheeers,

Pat

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?
