OMG I POST!
"'Cause sometimes you feel tired,feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
and just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse." - Eminem "Till I Collapse
So after playing some of the worst poker I've played since I started a few years ago (if not worse).. I decided fuck that I'm owning these donks like I know I can. So far, that's worked. I'm playing much better than I was, taking my time on decisions later in streets and in decisions that are big parts or all of my stack... I'm thinking through ranges, replaying lines in my head.. and so far it's working.. we'll see how it continues in December.
November was a pretty decent month. It could have been my best month if I didn't decide to play like an atm in the middle two weeks and just hand out cash to everyone that sat at my tables. Cash games I think I won like 1100 bb's spread across 4nl to 50nl (shot taking ftw :)) over 5,000 hands or so. sng's I feel I pretty much murdered, even though I had an extremely low sample size. I played maybe 8 or 10 4.40/180s on stars and had a 1st 2nd (kind of) and two 3rds (the 2nd place, I actually went out 4th, but since two stacks were soft playing each other, start bumped me up to 2nd place)... add to that, chopping a $6 90man on ftp.. and I had a decent month. Took a few stabs at the $3r that went nowhere, and played the $11 250k on stars, but that went nowhere after losing a huuuuuuuuuge pot early on (would have had 18k at 50/100) but meh that happens.
Looking at December.. it seems I'll have time on my hands since I won't be going home for christmas like I had originally planned. So I'm planning on grinding 10nl on ftp to clear my holiday 100 bonus.. and just straight up crushing this month. I'm feeling great after a few days off for thanksgiving.... playing really well/focused.. and I'm trying to work harder than I ever have. I told a friend I'm going to have my first 1k month in December, just joking of course.. but now I feel like, fuck it, I'm going to go for a 1k month. I was going to start out the month at 5nl, work on getting my confidence back and what not, but nahhhhh.. I'm going to stop being a pussy, and hop up to 10nl, where I'm well rolled and have beaten it in the past for a decent-ish sample size.. and just crush there.
December goals:
- 1k month
- 15k hands @ 10nl, 8bb/100 min.
- Work my ass off.. I'm going to compliment raze and say my goal is to try and work harder than him this month, which won't be easy.
- Post more in uNL and less in Beginners
- Watch 2-3 dc vids per week
