2009 - 2010

Hello,


It’s time for some updates! I’m always lazy with updating my blog but what’s the point of having one if you don’t use it. For everyone responded to the staking post: I will try to pick some of you in the future.
I just came back from a well deserved trip to the PCA with my girlfriend. I didn’t get anything going in the ME (lost set vs. set) but apart from that we have had a great time. At least Chiren was owning it up at the PCA; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AvK_C6-f_U
We stayed at the cove which is a huge upgrade compared to the other towers but still not worth the money imo (1k a night if I’m right). The overall service at Atlantis is horrible and a lot of the employees aren’t friendly at all. If you want to use the gym you need to $15 which is just a example of the absurdity.
Once again I met a lot of online legends and it’s always fun to put a face with a screen name. Apart from the ME I didn’t play any poker which feels really good. I’m feeling fresh again and play way better now compared to late 2009.
December was a crazy month poker wise. I managed to make 70k in a day playing heads up cash games and loosing most of it back in the rest of the month. I really don’t want to handle these swings so I will try to control myself not to play high stake cash games. The variance is just absurd, the edge’s are small and I’m not a topnotch cash game player.

2009 ended and all I can say Is that I’m very pleased with my overall results. I reached my goal to make SNE which was my main target. There are still aspect to work on and I have the following resolutions for this year:

- Don’t autopilot all the time and play more my best game.
- No huge downswings.
- Don’t mess up games for no reason. (take more breaks if needed)
- Work out more often and get in better shape.
- Get SNE.
- Take MTT’s serious: play more, focus more, improve my game.
- And last but obv not least: Make a half million dollars.

Today I played my first session of 2010 and profited a little over 2k. I also went semi deep in the Stars 162:
