More $11 HU

Played 7 $11 Hu games tonight. Went 5-2. Played well, and had some hands hold up and
some positive variance. I feel comfortable with these, but I'm gonna keep playing them a little bit longer. I still fell like I'm learning some new things, and wanna keep fine tuning before I try to jump to $22 for good.

Gonna lose Gold Star status this month, but thats ok. 1 tabling HU games generates far less
FPP than 3 or 4 tabling $15 9 mans. Trying to see where this HU can take me....wasnt the
original plan for January, but I like to go with the flow, and I'm pleased so far.

2009 Sharkscope $337
Total poker profit $469

$11 HU...mastering this dumb thing

Played nothing but $11 HU's. Did pretty well. Went 10-7. I'll take it. Once I feel totally
comfortable, I'm gonna try to move to $22 for good. I dont think it will be that much tougher.
Today, for the first time ever I actually played a bunch of games while watching TV, and I played well enough to have a 13% roi for the day. Whatta breakthrough....really just never tried it before.


YTD SS Profit $313

YTD total profit $445

More HU

Today I played 9 $11 games, 2 $22 games, and 5 $33's. Went 5-4, 2-1, and 3-2 respectively for a $74 day. I'll take it! I'm feeling very comfortable at $11. Unless I'm hammered or something, no reason to ever play a $6 HU again. $22 doesnt scare me at all anymore, but not quite ready to move up there 100%....but soon I think. Will keep game selecting some $33's and even sitting first if I'm feeling good. Got a $150 reload bonus credited the other day....love that free money!

YTD Sharkscope + $289
YTD Total Poker Profit + $421

HU HU HU

Well...I had a goal of $1000 Sharkscope for January. But then I had to take a full week off, so I am going to revise it to $500. Right now I'm up $243, so still have work to do. Wasn't planning on playing HU this moth at all and have ended up playing 98% HU. I gonna blame it on HokieGreg. He sent me a vid in late Dec of him playing $220 turbos. I learned alot from it, and it whetted my appetite to get back on the HU bus. I had pretty much decided that I wasn't going to play hu anymore....primarily because I am pwning the $15 - 9 man to the tune of a lifetime ROI of approx 24%, and I tend to tilt playing hu much more often. Well, like I said, Hokie's vid helped ( and sucked me in), and I went ahead and decided to buy another one from him. For the last few days, I'm just playing $11 HU...and doing well. So, gonna keep it up for now.

Sorry bout all the garbage posts..

Trying to post the sharkscope graph was harder than I thought!! Well...I played a ton of $22's and $55's yesterday, and I played very well. I ended up losing a fair amount of money, but the majority was awful suckouts. At least 3 different times I had the superior pocket pair...got it in good, only to see the villain spike the set. I'm proud of myself though, because I really didnt tilt, and I made some of it up towards the end. Played the 3rd $110 turbo of my life which I game selected and won. (2-1 lifetime on those). And, today I've been playing well again, and my results have been really good. I've won like 7 out of my last 8 or something.

Anyway...now I'm up $202 on SS for Jan...haven't played much at all...gonna lose my Goldstar status if I dont start playing.

Jan 1

Had a pretty good day on Jan. 1. Made $114 mostly pwning the $15 +$1 9-man STT. Also played quite a few $15 + $1.50 sats to some donkament MTT called the "Nightly $70 Grand". Even thought the Tournament fee is .50 higher (I have no idea why that is) than the regular $15 SNG, I still like to play them because it seems like there are a lot of higher buy in fish swimming around trying to get into the $55 MTT for $16.50. Aso, played quite a few $11 Hu's and one $22. On my way to my first $1000 sharkscope month.

Good start to 2009!!!

2008 is history

Had a frantic last couple of days in December. In the very first month that I ever made Silver Star, I made Gold Star too. Had to grind hard the last 2 days to get it, but got in there with 4003 points. Was 9 tabling .25/.50 on the last 2 days of the month to get there. It was actually a very good experience I think. I struggle with cash games, so having 9 games rolling forced me to play ridiculously tight...nut peddling essentially. Jammed aces pre when I was raised a few times, and got called once for a $50 score. Anyway, gonna try to see whaat freebies I can get from the Gold Star status...I see some freerolls MTT's.

Been crushing the $15 +$1 and the $25 + $2 9 man STT's. My sharkscope is reflecting my pwnage. Need to figure out how to cut and paste that and put it in here.

Final total poker profit for 2008 $3356.
Final 2008 sharkscope $2289

Made around $1000 in MTT's for the year. (Played like 5-10 in all)
Probably was breakeven or very slightly neg in ring games. (Played very little)

Been thinking alot about goals.

I want to have a $1000 Sharkscope month soon. January would be nice, and I think
it is well within reach.

In fact I'm already up $90 for Jan.

Happy New Year!!!!!
