new monitor, and treading water

THE 20" dell is HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahhhh yessss

As expected i have been playing a lot more. I played a few sngs, but found that i was playing bad (loose) in the early stages. when i do this, i just switch over to NL cash games for a bit.

The .2-.5 nl cash games are super soft as expected, and i have been playing very well. Bluffs are going good, value bets are getting in, ect. I really have just been treading water with the cash games. Maybe i am thinking i am going to be making more than i am. it is nickel big blind after all. But i am happy with my play, and think i will be spending more time at the nl tables.

As for sngs, i have been breaking even, and just having a hard time getting things to go right, at the right times. I just played 5 and had 3K stacks in 2 of them after 4 mins, played a 4k pot as a 70% favorite early, AA so many times it could blind me, but i only managed to eek out a 2nd, and a 3rd. I just seem to be coming up short when it matters. People are waking up with hands when i am in auto push mode, and i am just having a hard time closing them out, regardless of the stacks i have.

It could be worse. I am breaking even over all, so that is good. I know i am playing well, so its only a matter of time until i start putting up some big numbers. I am so happy with the progress in my playing ability over the last few months. It seems like my game is really jelling together.

Plans are to hit the NL cash games and sngs. I have a higher $ per hour in sngs, but i believe that eventually i will get to a point where cash games will become my bread and butter, or at least be splitting my time between the sngs and cash games. Also NL cash games improve your sng, and mtt game some, so its a learning thing also.

I would like to thank God for blessing me with the ability to make money doing what is a hobby. I also would like to thank my dad for the new monitor. HAPPY BIRTHDAY INDEED!!!

God Bless,
