HAPPY CANADA DAY!
June is now done and Canada Day is here!!
As can be seen from my stats, I played a ton of poker in June and most of it was for not. My regular play ended up in a negative balance!! First time since I started that this has happened. On the other hand, I earned a lot of bonuses from my Cake rake back plus Party Poker clearing bonuses and their Million Dollar Hand promotion.
Overall, the bankroll is still going in the right direction which is the most important thing when all is said and done. I have started playing 4 $0.25/$0.50 9 man cash games at Cake Poker bringing $30 to the table for each. In addition, I like to also play a $10.80 double up tourny on the side. This seems to be a good combo for me right now.
I have also played a lot of heads up matches. These are a lot of fun and generally have quick turn around in game time. After so many heads up matches, (I think around 100 this month alone), I’ve settled in to a style that seems to work. Generally when I get beat now, it is due to my opponent hitting a low percentage card after going into the ring with me where I had the upper hand. This is part of poker so can be expected every now and then. This of course is playing at the $10 game. I’m sure I will have to re-adjust when I make the move up.
My play today went really well. I finished up over $50 and even won a 4 man heads up shootout tourny at Full Tilt. Good Times. I can almost taste that $1000 goal… Ooohhh so close now.
