Mid Month Blues

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:33:14 +0000

It never seems to fail. Things go awesome at the start of the month and then after a few weeks, the wheels seem to fall off. I am now down $450 from my highs and lost all of this within 1 week! I have decided to take a break from poker until the weekend to let my frustrations cool off and get back to some web development which I have been interested in working on again.

When I return from my hiatus, I am going to setup a new mini challenge for myself. I call it the heads up challenge 100 rally. I plan to play 100 heads up matches. My goal is to achieve a success rate of 70%. I’m not sure how long this will take but it should be a nice change to refocus my play and add some new skills to my game.

Another month has gone by and once again fall is starting to arrive. I have been doing the challenge now for over 10 months and everything is still going nice and steady. I did have a record breaking month for earnings but they were still solid with just over $200 added to my bankroll.

Cake Poker has once again started to become my friend again like the old days. I am now comfortably playing $0.50/$1.00 cash games with up to 6 tables. This game is much looser than the lower stakes tables and there are some great opportunities to have some serious gains.

I played a lot on Full Tilt again this month with unfortunately a negative return. I was playing to receive the Two table play bonus of $50. For this, I needed to play on 25 different days of the month while playing two tables at once (I almost always play more than 1 table at once). This should be quick sessions but I don’t like to walk away with a loss which got me into trouble a couple times.

Party Poker is like me little poker site buddy that keeps on giving. I didn’t play a lot but had a huge percentage gain for the month. I’m still not sure what I will do with this site as far as play but for now I guess it will just remain my little side gig.

On a personal note, I was able to achieve a personal goal of running a 10km road race in under an hour. Me and my wife and a bunch of friends joined the Banff Melissa’s Road Race last weekend and had a great time.

After getting back from the race weekend, I was definitely ready to boost up my poker bankroll and so far Cake has obliged. In just 2 days at Cake, I was able to have profits of over $300 and I also received my $50 bonus from Full Tilt. October is gonna be good.
