So I’ve now finished my first month of unemployment. As I think i’ve mentioned before, I’ve committed myself to taking 4 months off before I even consider looking for a full time job. After 4 months I’ll do an assessment of my situation and figure out what to do next. I’ve talked [...]

Well, i’m back in North Carolina after a week up in Atlantic City. The basic trend of the month continued. Its like the chicken and the egg, which comes first for me, running bad or playing bad? If I were to try to put some numbers on my play this week, I’d [...]

Well, its not such a good thing when 2 of your first 3 weeks are losers, but, I have my confidence, which had disappeared for a bit at the end of last week, and I feel like I have my game back. I’ve been through this before. I have an aggressive move-up goal, I try [...]

Well, not so funny really. I started off running hot at 50NL, and playing well too most likely. But after a few days, I started to settle in and started trying to deal with the extra aggression. 50NL on Full Tilt is just a very aggressive game. The games Rizen plays [...]

Just a quick note. Things have been a bit hectic around here lately. I know I owe a weekly report from last week. I’ll probably just combine it with the end of this week.
I made another final table tonight. This time in the Full Tilt Daily Double B. Not quite as good of a showing [...]

Well, last week I played entirely 50NL. I got off to a good start, getting up about 8 buyins over my first 3000 hands, and it was really all downhill from there. For the week I was only down ~$150, only 3 buyins, and even the downswing at the end, down about 7 [...]

I have been going through a pretty rough stretch at the tables the last few days. My super nit strategy to build up VPPs at Stars has been resulting in some decent losses (although I am certain that is just variance as I get my money in good almost every time). I have been bubbling [...]

I’ve always “started” the week on Sunday’s, so my results and tracking stuff goes from Sunday-Saturday. With my move just finishing up and New Years earlier in the week, I didn’t really get rolling until Wednesday, but managed to get in a solid amount of play for the week.
I moved to Full Tilt this [...]

Well it was a pretty crappy week at the tables for me. A short week since I am only counting from the 1st and I didn’t get to play nearly as much as I wanted to with a lot of beginning of the year stuff going on. The majority of my hands were just my [...]

So in November a friend of mine, who shall remain nameless for the time being, wanted to see me get back to playing poker on a more serious level. I had severely depleted my bankroll and was donking around in $5 and below SnGs and MTTs as well as some micro limit games. To get [...]
