Goals for poker

Well I read a lot of poker blogs at work because they block basically everything except blogs, and I happen to see that people use a lot of goals to motivate themselves. Well now I will too.
My account is somewhere around 170 so my goal is to get it up to 200 and get on the top 100 list for a botp during this month, so I have the rest of this week and next week to do that gl to me.

up a little down a little

Well Tuesday I had to work both jobs then workout at club fitness for the first time in a while, I have been doing a park workout with a boxing coach that is really intense, but I cannot do that on days that I work both jobs. Anyways, so last night I was off and hanging with the g/f after work and I loaded up a few games. First I loaded up a 4.40 3k gaurentee tourney. I dont really play mtt's but I was in the mood. I started it while playing cod mwf2 and after about and hour i was at 10k stack from the starting 3k which was 6th place so I decided that ill quit pwning newbs and start loading up some sngs. I loaded up about 5 18 mans, a 45 man and a 90 man. I won 1 of the 18 mans but didnt play too well, but still made a little profit on that, the 45 man i was in 4 place out of 9 and get it in my 10s vs 66s and i lost river six, gross. the 90 man I was average the whole time then took chip lead 15 people, but i am very inexperienced with any over 45 man so I failed and got 5th. So I profited 8$ on those sngs, no big deal. Then I one tabled the mtt, which lasted forever 1022 people lasted longer than I thought. I made some really good plays, where I would flop set or nut straight and people would raise on the flop, so I'd min raise or so and they would come over top almost drawing dead with top pair. When people have like 40bbs left I'm suprised how good tp looks. Anyways, I played really good, and folded when I thought I was beat, only went to showdown 9 times, but I couldnt beat a the shortstacks ever. I mean like 0-5 and I was always ahead, it wore me down and I 3 barrelled at a bad time. Then I was crippled out in 52nd place for like 14 bucks, but thats not bad considering how unexperienced I am with mtts. I might mix them in more often but maybe not, I like 18 mans because they are short and easy, the mtts r so long i played for 4 and a half hours to make 9 bucks and leave with a bad taste/move in my mouth. well anyways thanks for not reading..

Blogging, the other white meat

I haven't blogged in forever because I didn't realize how much I had to learn about online poker. I have been playing off and on since I started the blog forever ago. I have had to make 2 deposits because of shitty play and a reload bonus. I kept trying out different things. Shortstacking 50nl and then full stacking 10nl and short stacking 50plo. So far all I have found out is that I tilt too easily and that plo is an easily beatable game if you can stand the swings, which I cannot with a bankroll of like 163. So I have decided to play inside my bankroll and starting yesterday I am a reg at the 1.75 18-man tourneys. I will make a small deposit once a month to help with the bankroll. I will try to play 100 games a week and attempt to move up in stakes every month. I will require at least 100 buyins to move up in stakes so we shall see. I just started really multitabling 18 mans. I must say it is not difficult I know I can play about 10 tables now and have a lot of down time, so ill try to increase them about 2 a week until i get to 20 at a time. I will be playing these pretty exclusively for now because i need to perfect some form or poker and I know that the stt sngs r regged out and solved, and the 90 man and 180 r too long i lose interest. So far i have found that 18 mans r donk filled and reasonable in time length.

Thanks bungbert
