Happy new year!
Happy new year folks!
I hope you all had a great a crimbo and a very messy NYE, I certainly know I did.
So blimey 2006 has been and gone, that was a bit quick! Well I guess it’s time for an annual review and my hopes and predictions for 2007.
Well 2006 was a good year for me and poker, I feel I made some great breakthroughs in my game and the latter part of the year was certainly very profitable. In June I switched my main account from William Hill to Pokerstars and July/August I had an excellent run of MTT cashes.
So the figures (net profit rounded to nearest $500):
Single Table Tournaments: $7000
Multi Table Tournaments: $13,500
Total Profit: $20,500
Interestingly the divide is Jan-May on Will Hill $7,500, and June-Dec on Pokerstars $13,000.
2007, predictions and resolutions.
I’m done with STT’s. Finished. Kaput. Cash games (6 max) are definitely the way forward. Unlike my previous attempt where I got owned at 200NL, I’m starting like a complete newbie at the very bottom and am going to work my way up, I want to be certain I can crush every level before moving up stakes, so if you see me playing 50NL this week then you now know why. I started this a couple of days ago and am already $250 in profit from a small sample of hands, so I’m feeling super confident about this new challenge and this has really inspired my passion again. I’ve really enjoyed browsing the SSNL forums on 2+2 and applying new techniques to my game.
Anyways, my aim is to be confidently beating 100NL by the end of January, by March I would like to be a regular in the 200NL game. In doing this I will probably be looking to move sites again, to somewhere with slightly worse cash game players and more importantly somewhere I have rakeback. Any suggestions folks?
In other news, I’m now officially on January detox. I’ve physically and mentally destroyed myself in the last 2 months, so until Jan 20th (night out pre-planned) I will not be touching any booze or other substances. This should mean I’m also fresh and funky whilst learning cash games, which is probably a good thing.
I will also be making much more regular updates on here and will be posting more hand histories, hopefully asking for some input from you guys to help with the learning process.
Well I think that just about covers everything. Good luck folks!
