Ridiculous Mix

This is a ridiculously sick mix from my favourite DJ, Netsky! Enjoy the sounds of some liquid drum and bass!

I am the April Fool

April Goals

1. 50k Hands - Fail
2. STAY AT POKERSTARS!!! - HUGE FAIL!!
3. 5k hands at PLO - Pass

Extremely disappointing month poker wise this month, pretty much everything went wrong, I didnt stick to my goals and in result completely failed this month!

I ran absolutely horrible at 6max which is basically consistent with the whole of my 6max career, I was about $1k below EV which is not cool when shot taking. The hand below pretty much sums up my month about $350 pot. Anyway I dont want to moan as it isnt fun reading, I moved back to FR on stars and won at 3ptbb/100 which isnt great but better than nothing and saved the month from becoming a complete failure!

I'm still itching to get this year up and running, 125k wouldn't even be a months grind if I was playing properly full time its just that uni really is taking all my time up! January Exams and holidays, February I was super ill for 2 weeks of it, March Dissertation and 6 other coursework deadlines, April Exam revision for 6 exams, May 6 exams, when am I going to get this poker year up and running!

May Goals 

Exams

Knee Deep In........

Books, unfortunately!

I literally am spending maybe an hour at the tables if that, final year exams are taking all of my time at the moment. I have 6 exams starting monday and finish 22nd May, sucks having so many exams when other courses have like 2 or none at all! Anyway it's whatever I guess, poker has been shit and I can't wait to grind after uni is over for good!

Packers 2012-2013 Schedule

On Tuesday evening the NFL released the schedule for next years season which I am super pumped for already. The draft is in about a week and now the games have been released, and man we have a super tough schedule to start!

We start off with the 49ers who are probably a top 2 defense team in my opinion. If they had a decent QB or WR they would be a super good team but Crabtree hasnt put up big numbers yet, although he has been troubled by injury. However they are still a really good team who made a deep run in the playoffs last year so we will have to be up for it from the get go!

We then go to the Bears, obviously a huge rivalry game which I think is on monday night football!? The Bears arent great but a big rivalry game straight up in the season is not something I really want.

We then have to go to Seattle which I think is one of the hardest places to go in the NFL, something like they give up the least points at home or have a really good home record. Its going to be a tough opening 3 games vs really solid defenses and some good RB's.

Our final game then for the tough start is vs the Saints who will be without Sean Peyton but they are still obviously a solid team with Brees, Colston, Graham and co. We then have a somewhat breather vs Colts who will be with probably Luck I imagine so that wont be easy if he carves it up in the NFL like all the hype recons!

Story Of The Month So Far!

Today went well, like the whole month has gone really! However I think I am playing abit better now than at the beginning of the month. I seem to have upped the aggression a tonne which is really helping but also putting me in some awkward spots postflop which I am not used to!

Pot Limit Omaha Video Review

Video of Dustin reviewing my play at PLO. I am grinding 10plo and hoping to progress up the stakes like I have done in no limit holdem.

100k Hands at 50NL @ 4.09bb/100

I have just completed 100k hands at 50nl and followed a big database analysis tutorial from Irunlucky's "crushing 200nl" videos. I am really pleased with some of the leaks I have found and can now set to work on fixing them up!

My winrate is ok but I now know where I am bleeding money and where more money can be made even more! There's a few very interesting reports and stats in HEM2 such as multi table report, # of players report and time of day report which definitely confirm I should be playing no more than 5 tables of 6max!

I have written up all of my results for my own reference and will probably highlight each one in my blog when I am going to be working on it! Hopefully we can get my game fixed up abit and boost the winrate to at least 6bb/100 over the next 100k hands or so!
