It’s been a hectic few weeks. I think I’m going to have to just stop pretending that I’m going to come back and update regularly. Simple as it is to write stuff here, I seem to be able to put it off forever.
To continue where I left off…
I ended up having to delete a good portion of my PokerTracker database because it had grown too large and I couldn’t get the software to update everything. I also had to cut off my previous database and start a new one, which screwed up what would have been my next graph, because data was split between two databases. I wasn’t really happy about it, but now I know not to let it get too big in the future.
At the end of April I took a couple weeks off to make a trip home to the US and visit with some family. When I returned, I discovered that I had somehow left some of my new poker knowledge behind, and went through a terrible losing streak for the month of May and beginning of June. There was also some delay between my coaching sessions because my coach went to Las Vegas to play in some of the World Series Of Poker events.
Once I finally got back together with El Nino, things began to turn around again. I’m still a little shaky in some areas, but I’m doing much better than I was before. My game is completely different from what I was doing a couple months ago. I’m now starting to grind out a steady profit and looking ahead to moving up through stakes, with my goal being 50NL.
Since the buy-in changes on PokerStars, the games seem to be better, even if not as good as I’d hoped. At the very least, I don’t have to deal with the shortstackers anymore, and I really like that.
I guess that’s about it for now. Hopefully the next time I update I’ll be writing about crushing 10NL and finally moving back to 25NL. Got my fingers crossed…
May the fish be with you…
