March 2 - Goals!

Recap of February:

[x]3 new students
[/]85hrs of poker related work
[/]Read a book all the way through
[x]Write something
[/]Get a new place or at least get one lined up
[.]Gym 2x/week while not on vacation
[/]1 new video for either my site or Stox
[x]No food after 11p at least 5 days per week

I did alright in my goals. Was supposed to have a place lined up (with my friend from college and also Vegas), but he ended up taking a last minute place that is working out. So I'm still figuring this part out. However, I started my book finally, improved upon my eating schedule. I was feeling really bogged down at night with all the 1a snacks. So I now do a snack at 10p and really no later unless absolutely necessary. Also got 2 vids done, one for Stox and the other was my equity exploration. So cheers to getting things done!

The last couple of days have been really good. My dog is still sick (not 100% sure what is going on, but he won't poop all day and then has diarrhea all night...very gross), but he is getting better slowly thanks to my ever growing vet tab. O well. I went to my mom's gig the other night (she is in a rock coverband that does a lot of dance-rock stuff) which was cool since I hadn't seen her perform in a few months. It was a pretty crappy place, but they still sounded good which is what matters. After that I jumped down to Boston to hang out with a friend and then came back early to take care of Kingjamen.

Also, a few of my students have wanted to sweat me during our session. So it's been a very cool experience to be able to make money while making money. I also play so sick solid because I'm playing 6 tables, thinking crystal clear, and just purely in control. So my stats have been a bit skewed because I run like 32/26 in these sessions, but I play best that way, so it works out. Also did my first shortstack coaching session today which I think went very well. We made a full chart for every position for every player-type, and I think he will be doing just fine in no time.

And lastly, I feel like the biggest nerd ever. I have suffered my second poker related injury. My wrist has been enduring the preliminary stages of carpal tunnel, so now I have to wear a damn wrist brace all day. I feel like a bowler walking around with this thing on, but it happens. So I've been doing CT exercises as well for the longevity of my body....fingers crossed it works itself out.

Goals for March:

-2 new students
-111 hours of work
-Write more of my book
-1 new video for my site
-1 new article for my site
-Finish the book I started reading
-Produce 1 new song
-Get my passport for April trip

Best of luck this month everyone!

Double billing is the nuts! ;)

I'm trying to work my way back up from the bottom as a LAG. Currently running 47/40 at 10nl. Obv that'll come down as I move up, but somewhere in the 30-35 vpip range is what I'm picturing. We should trade notes some time.

Peace.

i rly cannot imagine that is good unless u are playing deep 10NL. seems too loose and def spewy unless u run well postflop and play like a demon.

dont try to force stats...read Mpethys article on my site...pinpoints what im trying to say =)

@ 40+ vpip I'm definitely not trying to force stats.

In fact, my first session at 10nl (I did a few at 5nl to start) I ran 40/35... the tables were tough for 10nl, and I was shocked how many people were adjusting. My second session the tables were much softer, and I was 60/55 when done. I was so thrilled to see that my seat-of-the-pants play adjusted to the tables and showed up in the stats!

And yes, I only play the deep tables; everyone sucks at adjusting to deep play. I'm 4 tabling, so I pass on anything with short stacks or tight players. When you're not loading up 16 tables, table selection get much easier.

And this is 10nl. I'm sure I won't stay this wide open, but I want to work some kinks out down here before trying it at 25 where they start playing poker.

For the record, I'm NOT winning with this game.

Yet. ;)
