The last 6 months…

Balance : $3600

Well, if anyone has been reading this blog, they probably thought I went busto.  Instead I’ve actually focused heavily on my game.  It’s funny to read my 2007 posts and see how bad a poker player I was.

Stuff that has happened :

- got a poker coach

- grinding NL100 at Pokerstars a lot.  On target for Supernova status this month.  Played 250K hands so far at 0.44ptbb

- considering going pro

I’ve played a lot of poker.  And I’ve become a lot better.  Now I’m puking off 1BI per 10,000 hands roughly in -ev spots.

My initial goal is to make Supernova by the end of the year – 60,000 hands to go.  And make the $4K bonus, I’ve probably got about 120K hands to go before I clear that.

Some other news – cashed twice in MTTs.  A bizarre situation, had 3 free tokens left at Full Tilt.  1st token, out quickly.  2nd token, 2nd place $900.  3rd token following day, 2nd place $1300. 

Anyway, I’m trying to work hard on my game.  In the last 5 months – 1xlosing month, 2xwinning months, 1 x break even.  Last month I ran $26 per hour including bonus which was OK for starters.
