Keeping Warm in Winter
AAroddersAA:
Going to play some tournaments today and rail the APAT in Manchester. Went back through the hands I have played this week and am happy enough even though I ended up break even. Going to start off today playing a couple of the 180 manners. Pokerstar"s has some strange tournaments, what are these time limited tournaments all about? Anyway will update this post later with how it is going and what other games I am adding if I choose to do so.
*----------------------------
Played the two little MTT"s, didn"t cash in either but played fine.
For some reason decided that I should try a bit of heads up PLO and managed to get rid of two buyin"s at that. Strangely recently I am feeling a lot happier playing tournaments than cash, maybe I will focus on them a bit more this month as I seem to be playing better in them at the moment. Will play a few more later I expect. Will then put together a little schedule for the next week or so.
*----------------------------
Currently playing
2x $4.50 on PS
The Big $5.50 on PS
The £2.20 DS on Sky Poker
The $11 DS on Betfair Poker
Just one of the $4.50"s left, 2 tables left and I have double the average. A final table would be useful. Currently 2/14.
Finished 9th in that one for around $8.80

Gonna play a couple of Little $4.50"s tonight. Might do a mini bink.
1. $4.50 45/180
2. $4.50 156/180
Went from one of them very early, got dealt KK in EP with the Blinds 10/20 so raise it to 120 getting one caller. The flop comes down 7-8-9. It"s me to act and the board looks poor but I reckon I can over-bet and get called by lot"s worse so I shove it in. I definitely get called by a lot worse here in one of these but he has J-10. GG Me.
2nd one I walked AJ into AK whilst shortstcked - M"eh happens I guess.

Spent some time going through my hand database tonight from poker tracker. I actually have two one sits on my poker desktop and the other on my laptop but my desktop is the main one. I went back a couple of years to back in the day and found something interesting. My best winning days seems to come at FR tables rather than the six max tables that I now play exclusively.
I also seem to have developed a case of "fancy play syndrome". I get it every now and again where I try to play simple spots too clever. It usually results in a smallish pot being lost but these extra bets I am paying add up. So in my never ending quest (it seems) to regain the form I used to have I am going to give FR another go.
3 Day weekend after tomorrow (yay) so can get some cash hands in and should get to Silverstar as well.

Love all the new blogs that are popping up on this site. Hopefully they will survive and keep getting updated in the new year as I really do enjoyed this section of the forum. Jack get back to updating your"s the only way I know how your DIY and things are going is by reading Dawn"s blog :-)
Going to try and get this back to how it was at the start of the year from next month and try to post monthly results from NLHE, PLO and tournaments. That was the original intention anyway but this year I gave myself unrealistic targets in terms of volume and suffered for it. I really don"t deserve to be up at poker in 2011. To many sessions online where I have played on for much longer than I should also not enough time spent working on my game, I have tried to just play my way to improving my results assuming I am just "supposed to win". Will see what I do about live poker when APAT's season six is announced, not a huge fan of Aspers in Swansea so not going back to it any time soon. I will be back at some point in 2012 though.
Only played the 10c/25c tables last night and ran bad but still managed to make around $40 ($37.68 to be exact) which was well under expect EV. I am happy with this result and with any luck going back to those types of tables will see me improve my results (I somehow seem to be money up this year online but am down as far as BB/100 goes as I have kept changing the limits I am playing and ran good at the higher limit luckily).
Also got to Silverstar on Stars so can now start working on getting to gold. I did make a few mistakes but know where I went wrong so don"t need to post the hands, but will post one for pure comedy purposes (ftw it"s worth I play that specific hand against that player exactly the same).
