I'm playing on Bodog/Ignition 25z/50z right now.

Played poker on and off for years. Last year, I grinded from $500 to $10k in about 5 months playing 50z and 200z. Had a brutal downswing in the summer before I went on vacation for a month. Came back and continued the downswing for a week or two and then lost my laptop to water spills...

So I played some live poker in November and got a new laptop last month, here's the results so far:



This thread is about the new year, the future and to keep myself accountable.
I don't want to repeat the same mistakes last year where I got lazy, complacent and got distracted by gaming and other things.

Didn't get much sleep last night. Only played 2 sessions today and didn't run to well, felt a bit tilted and was noticing mistakes in my game so I stopped playing. Did hit the gym and get some studying done. Will be more productive tomorrow.

Apologies for the lack of updates. Haven't been doing well at the tables lately, partly due to some run bad and definitely some questionable plays from me as well, particularly when I'm on tilt. Mental game is an area that I've always struggled with, but I will continue to regulate my emotions and improve.



Not happy with my volume and results so far but it's still a very small sample and I will continue to grind and improve. The regs have gotten significantly better since last year. Think I had around 200k hands at ~7 EV bb/100 last year on 50z before I lost my database along with my laptop. Haven't played much since Aug of last year so the rust is evident.

Some hands:

H1: Spew or nah?


H2: Poker is dead


H3: Think I'm supposed to range check on these boards but got a bit greedy with my hand. Oh well, I'm happy these are the guys that I'm losing to


H4: Gottem!


That's it for now.
