March is over, so lets make a summary about what happened, especially poker-wise.

I started this month not very good being about breakeven after the first week. Then things slowly started to go better again, which was good because I was going to play in the Vienna's Spring Poker Festival 3,150€ tournament and confidence was definately needed.

So, I headed off to Vienna for about a week. I met there with Kon (CasinoCasino), who is a cool guy and who bought some action from me, because I didnt feel very comfortable paying the whole buyin myself. The tournament was very good and I also did pretty solid, but failed to reach the money - I busted in 30th place ouf of 172 players after 2 pretty gay setups (AQ vs Q9 on Q94 flop and 96 vs A6 on A96 flop). But it was a good experience as I also played with a few very good players at the tables, for example with DevilFish, who played really good and gave me some inspiration on how to play tournaments. Apart from the tournament, I also played some live cash games there and made back the buyin, so I ended up about even for the whole trip.

After Vienna, I went back home. Kon went with us to stay for a few days in our house. It was definately good as he sweated me a few times and definately helped me improve my game a bit. I think my game became more solid especially preflop during this month and I really like my style now (of course I also run good which helps to it too) :-) .

So, I continued to run good in online cash games and started to play NL 5/10 as my main game, only playing 2/4 and 3/6 when the 5/10 games werent good enough. One of the reasons that I started playing 5/10 more was that I put some money on FTP, where the games seem somewhat softer than at PS plus having money on more sites allows better table selection.

Apart from Hold'Em, I also started to play a bit of Pot Limit Omaha. I am a newb in that game, so I lost a small amount, but I think I am somewhat getting it recently and with the competition being really weak at PLO 1/2 I think I can soon become a winner there.

Ok, enough talking, here are the stats for the month:

Amount-wise I made slightly less than in the 2 previous months, but I also put in less time, so I consider this very good. Obviously I continued running very good as you can see from the stats.

The last, but probably most important, thing happenned today - I won the WSOP MAIN EVENT PACKAGE! The package is worth $12,500. I am really excited about it and looking very much forward to going to Vegas and playing the Main Event. I won it via PS WSOP Steps - I started at step 5 for $700, 4 times I ended 4th to get my ticket back, then on the 5th try I won it and got the step 6 ticket. I wanted to play it right after, but saw mig.com and some other good players playing like every single one of those tourneys. So I waited till the line-up was somewhat softer, then registered and was lucky enough to win it on my first try

Wow, I am once again impressed by your results. You are fully a 5-10 regular now, and a big winning player! It's great, 11bb is awesome, keep the good work and it'll be the same at 10/25

11ptbb/100 over 12k hands doesn't mean much though

Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy

Of course I dont expect to keep such a winrate or even close. I think if I can keep something like 4ptbb/100 it will be very very good. Well I think even 3 is decent.
